Live and act

Expert opinion on Sellheim's death from January 3, 1895 [9]

Gollasch was the sixth of eight children of master wheelwright Christian Gollasch (1814 / 1815–1855) and his wife Caroline Friederike Wilhelmine nee Zabel († 1895) and was born as a younger twin sister. Two years after her father's death, her mother married the merchant August August Friedrich Sellheim in 1857. Lina now had the additional name Sellheim. From this second marriage the mother had five more children.

As a young woman she attended a kindergarten teacher training facility. She committed to Froebel's pedagogy and opened a kindergarten in 1877. After Marie Wollmann's kindergarten founded in 1863, her facility was one of the first in Halle. The first course in their seminar for training kindergarten teachers was completed in 1878. In 1885 it received official approval (concession) for its facility, and since 1883 it was commissioned by the city's magistrate to review other kindergartens. In 1888 Sellheim passed the exams at the teachers' seminar of the Francke Foundations.

According to Sellheim's activity report from 1890, 242 kindergarten teachers had been trained in their seminar by this time, of which 39 graduates took over kindergartens as heads themselves. The course duration was twelve (1st class for kindergarten teachers) or six months (2nd class for helpers).

In a canon of subjects for the “I. Class “(annual course) the following subjects were listed: pedagogy (history, psychology, Froebel's kindergarten pedagogy), biblical studies , German, geometry, natural history, natural science and geography. In addition, practice-oriented content such as the theory and practice of kindergarten, drawing, handicraft and singing as well as optional French, English and music lessons. According to the Froebel method, instructions were provided for giving elementary lessons in families. These lessons were practiced through the use of experienced teachers from the city.

In the last year of her life, however, there were irritations and accusations relating to the organization of the lessons and the allocation of vacancies, so that the authorities initiated an investigation against her. Before the allegations were cleared up, Lina Sellheim died in December 1894 of a lung disease that had persisted since the beginning of the year. The district school inspector Förster ended the official note about her death with the words: "Complaint back to K. Government M. Complaint back with news that Miss Sellheim died at Christmas 94. Thing done. H. 3 Jan. 95 No 2 BF ".

Sellheim successfully led the seminar on the training of kindergarten teachers until her death in 1894. It was then continued by Georg Erich Eyssell-Weidling, August Emil Laegel and Robert Mayer.
