Life

Tittel was born in Dresden in 1872. There he attended the Kreuzschule from 1883 to 1891 . He then served as a one-year volunteer . From 1892 he studied German , history and classical philology with Kurt Wachsmuth at the University of Leipzig . In 1895 he was with the dissertation De Gemini stoici studiis mathematicis quaestiones philologae to Dr. phil. PhD. In 1896 he passed the state examination.

From 1896 to 1897 he taught at the Royal High School in Dresden-Neustadt and at the private secondary school according to Müller-Gelinek. He was then transferred to the Princely School in Grimma and, in 1898, to the Nikolaischule in Leipzig as vicar . He taught German, history, geography, Latin and Greek. He also campaigned for gym classes. Tittel went on study trips to Italy and Greece. In 1914 he became a teacher of the pedagogical seminar for candidates for the higher education office. After the war began, he helped out as a teacher at the Princely and State School in Meissen and the Schiller Realgymnasium.

In 1917 he was appointed rector (as senior director of studies ) and successor to Emil Jungmann of the Thomas School in Leipzig and head of the St. Thomas Choir . He campaigned for the school to be preserved during the First World War and the subsequent inflation in Germany . Several times he accompanied the St. Thomas Choir under Karl Straube on tours abroad. When the National Socialists came to power, the pressure on Tittel grew. In 1933 he was temporarily retained in office because of his wealth of experience. On June 30, 1935, he was dismissed in honor by Lord Mayor Carl Friedrich Goerdeler at his own request .
