Live and act

Life

Ludwig Eid was born in the small town of Obermoschel in the north of the Palatinate as the son of Ludwig Eid and Henriette Wallauer. His parents were simple middle-class people, his father by trade was a shoemaker. Ludwig was supposed to start his father's profession as soon as possible despite his high mental disposition as the eldest of four children due to the mother's early illness and the resulting financial hardship. The boy did this and eventually had to take over the housework and care for his siblings when the mother could no longer cope with it. When she died he had just finished his apprenticeship as a shoemaker and his younger brother Heinrich had started studying, which is why Ludwig Eid finally moved away.

He entered the preparatory school in Kirchheimbolanden , from which he switched to the Catholic teacher training institute in Speyer in 1883. There he graduated after two years with the grade “Excellent”. Because of his achievements, he was sent to the preparatory school in Kirchheimbolanden as a temporary substitute for illness. There he taught history, geography, piano, harmony and singing until the end of the school year 1886/1887. Until November 1, 1887, he was employed as a substitute teacher at the Blieskastel preparation school . He was then transferred to the Speyer teacher training college as a seminar assistant teacher, where he passed his state examination in 1888 as the best in the Palatinate. At that time all posts at this institution were filled, which is why he taught children in the affiliated school for four years. In 1891 he switched to the Blieskastel asylum as a teacher trainer for a period of four years. In the summer of 1895 he went to the teacher training institute in Rosenheim . In 1903 Eid gave up this position and went to Eichstätt . He then studied pedagogy, history and German at the University of Heidelberg for six semesters.

After successfully completing his degree, in 1909 he was appointed director and headmaster of his old home institute, the Catholic Teachers Training Institute in Speyer. During his term of office, the First World War , the November Revolution , the separatist era and the expansion of the school chapel fell. At a school inspection in Speyer in 1924, he took part in the lessons of the new teacher Edith Stein on a trial basis . Heart problems and increasing deafness caused his early retirement on November 1, 1929. In retirement, Ludwig Eid lived partly in Speyer and partly in Munich, where he died and was buried in the cemetery at Perlacher Forst, accompanied by Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber .

Ludwig Eids was always interested in history and church history, was involved in this regard and published more than 200 writings on Bavarian and Palatinate history. Already in Blieskastel he began to research in this area and published the following: 1894 “The Palatinate-Zweibrückische Elementarschule after the Thirty Years War” 1894 and “On the economic history of the Palatinate Westrichs ”, 1895 “In the foothills of the Palatinate Vosges - country and people around Bergzabern "And in 1896" Marianne von der Leyen , geb. von Dalberg, the great Countess of the Westrich ”.

In Rosenheim he founded the historical association Rosenheim with like-minded people and in 1895 the local museum there and from December 1900 onwards he ran the Rosenheim city archive. Together with the museum and the municipal library of the magistrate, it became the Rosenheim Municipal Collections in 1902 , which he also directed.

There he devoted himself to Eduard Rottmanner , about whom he published several times and published a biography. Many of his works appeared as small books or brochures. He published others in the local press, especially in the organs of his home diocese, “ The Pilgrim ” and “Pilgrim Calendar”.
