Live and act

After admission by the Düsseldorf administrative district, Susen worked as a school teacher in the Duisburg area in 1832 , and from 1834 he worked at the Protestant elementary school in Duisburg's Marienviertel (now part of the Mitte district ). The Friemersheim teacher Friedrich Wilhelm Guillaume (1838–1926) stated in his memoirs recorded in the Duisburg City Archives that Susen, as his teacher, recognized Guillaume's own pedagogical talent early on and convinced his father not to let him become a craftsman as planned, but a teacher .

After Susen's death in 1863, a memorial was erected in his honor by his students in November 1875 in the former cemetery of the Protestant St. Mary's Church in Duisburg's old town, with a foundation to maintain the memorial until 1919 . The statue, often referred to as a “teacher's monument”, was registered on December 15, 1992 as an architectural monument in accordance with Section 3 (2) DSchG . The inscription on the memorial quotes the Gospel from John verse 9: 4: “Let us work while it is day. The night comes when no one can work. "
