Life

Grave of Karl Hermann Scheidler in the Johannisfriedhof in Jena

After completing his schooling at Gotha grammar school , Karl Hermann Scheidler took part in the Wars of Liberation as a volunteer in the Lützow Freikorps in 1813/14 . From 1814 he studied law and philosophy at the University of Jena , especially with Jakob Friedrich Fries . He became a member of the Landsmannschaft Thuringia and its senior .

On May 29, 1815, the senior citizens' convention of the Jena Landsmannschaften decided to dissolve it. On June 12, 1815, the existing compatriots Thuringia, Vandalia, Franconia, Saxonia and Curonia dissolved and founded the fraternity in the “ Grüne Tanne ” inn in Wenigenjena as a reform association.

Scheidler was one of the eleven founders of the new association, almost all of whom had served in the Lützow Freikorps. As the bearer of the boys sword , he was the leader of the boys' procession to the Wartburg Festival in 1817.

From 1816 he studied in Berlin , where he joined Friedrich Ludwig Jahn .

In 1818 he entered the Prussian judicial service and came to the Naumburg Higher Regional Court . In 1821 he went back to the University of Jena and was awarded a Dr. phil. PhD and started teaching as a private lecturer . In 1826 he received an associate professorship here and in 1836 the full professorship for philosophy. In 1842/43 he was prorector of the Jena University.

He was editor of the Jenaische [n] Blätter for the history and reform of the German university system, especially student life, as well as for German national and state education . His philosophy and doctrine were based on his conception of the whole of life as a universal process of emancipation: of external nature and sensuality, of the arbitrary violence of other people and of blind belief in authority.

In 1865 he led the celebrations for the fraternity's 50th anniversary.

His portrait medallion adorns the base of the fraternity monument in Jena. In 1906 Scheidlerstrasse in Jena-Süd was named after him.
