Karl (also Carl) Heinrich Friedrich Gude (born February 28, 1814 in Hasserode-Friedrichsthal , † November 27, 1898 in Magdeburg ) was a German teacher and school writer.

Life

Karl Gude was the son of a school teacher and was born in the Prussian colonist village of Hasserode-Friedrichsthal on the northern edge of the Harz , which was integrated into the county of Wernigerode . At the age of ten he attended the Latin school in Wernigerode , which he left in 1831 with an excellent certificate. He switched to the teacher training college in Halberstadt , where he passed the school leaving examination in 1834. He returned to Hasserode, where he initially supported his elderly father in the school service in Hasserode-Friedrichsthal. However, since he did not receive any financial compensation for this, Karl Gude had to look around for a permanent position, which he found from autumn 1835 at the community school in Merseburg . At the same time he taught with lasting success at the school for the poor there. During this time, his first publications on improving school teaching in the Prussian province of Saxony were made . As an assistant to Hiecke, he soon wrote his own works.

In 1848 Karl Gude received from the mayor and school councilor Grubitz the appointment to the higher school for girls (later the Luisenschule ) in Magdeburg. There he worked until the end of the school year at Easter 1884. At the age of 70 he retired. The teachers and students organized a celebration on February 28, 1894 on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Four years later Karl Gude died in Magdeburg.
