Karl Hildebrandt was the son of a mill owner.

It was 1881 in Göttingen testing per facultate docendi and received his doctorate in May 1881 with a dissertation on stationary electric currents to Dr. phil.

Then he became a scientific assistant teacher at the secondary school in Gandersheim . From 1882 he did his military service in Berlin , but was released early in December of the same year. In March 1883 he passed an exam as an academic drawing teacher and took up a position at the Realgymnasium in Braunschweig .

Hildebrandt was a supporter of the reform school movement based on the Frankfurt model, which left the transition between secondary schools and secondary schools not capable of Abitur open until the age of 13. For this purpose, Latin lessons were only allowed to start in the lower year . From 1912 onwards, Hildebrandt pushed through the conversion of the school into a reform high school (with French as the first foreign language, Latin as the second foreign language and English as the third foreign language), which was completed in 1916/17. In November 1917 he was appointed to the Privy School Council and was a member of the High School Commission from September 1919 to October 1920.

Subsequently, in 1921, he introduced the division of the upper level into a linguistic and scientific branch at his school. He retired at Easter 1923. He died three years later of an old heart condition.

In retrospect, Hildebrandt was recognized as “a personality with a clear and broad view, a noble disposition and a high sense of duty”.
