Karl Gutbier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Gutbier (born January 20, 1882 in Merseburg , † December 21, 1965 ) was a German homeland researcher.

Life

Gutbier was born as the son of the teacher Louis Gutbier and his wife Emma Gutbier , nee Böhme . His father died in 1890, his mother in 1900. The brothers and sisters were raised by their older sister Anna Gutbier . Karl Gutbier then trained as a teacher in Weißenfels from 1899 to 1902 and did his preparatory work. He started his first job as a teacher in Pritschöna , before he worked for two years at the deaf and dumb institution in Berlin from 1907 . There he met his future wife Margarete Böhlk , who came from Preetz .

Gutbier was interested in history and, after a lecture by Merseburg superintendent Wilhelm Bithorn, devoted himself to the history of the Merseburg region in 1908. From April 1, 1909, he worked as a teacher at the Merseburg Windberg School. In 1913 he also took over the position of cantor and organist of the Vitikirche.

From 1918 he began to publish articles about the history of the homeland. His most important, albeit unpublished, work is the Merseburg House Chronicle , in which from December 1929 he dealt in detail with the history of historical buildings in the city of Merseburg. Many of the buildings were later destroyed during World War II or the 1967 socialist reconstruction of the city.

In 1953 Gutbier was retired. He gave up the office of cantor of the Vitikirche and also the administration of the archives of the cathedral monastery.

His grave is in the Merseburg cemetery of St. Viti.
