Oskar Jäger
Oskar Jäger (born October 26, 1830 in Stuttgart , † March 2, 1910 in Bonn ) was a German historian and educator.
Life
Jäger was a son of the Chief Medical Officer Georg Friedrich Jäger and his wife, a sister of the poet Gustav Schwab . He initially began to study Protestant theology, but subsequently made numerous study trips to France and England. He studied philology at the University of Tübingen and worked as a private teacher after graduating from 1852–54. As a student he became a member of the Tübingen royal society Roigel . After years of traveling from 1854 to 1855, he became a grammar school teacher in Stuttgart in 1855, then in Ulm, in 1859 in Wetzlar, in 1862 rector of the Adolfinum Progymnasium in Moers and in 1865 director of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium (Cologne) . From 1890 to 1907 he was chairman of the German Gymnasium Association . In 1901 he was appointed full honorary professor for education at the University of Bonn .
His work on the Franco-German War , which came to schools in the Rhineland in 1876, earned him criticism from the ultramontanists . His historical didactic work is characterized by a didactic didactic of images , which would like to pass on the scientific knowledge to the students only slightly reduced. This extreme scientific orientation was in contrast to the reception of educational science categories in the classroom.
In Cologne , Oskar Jäger was honored with the naming of a street in the Lindenthal district .
