Gustav Philipp Otto Willmann (born April 24, 1839 in Polish Lissa , then Kingdom of Prussia , † July 1, 1920 in Leitmeritz ) was a German Catholic philosopher and educator .

Life

He studied philology in Breslau and Berlin and education in Leipzig . During his studies in 1857 he became a member of the Raczek fraternity in Breslau . From 1868 to 1872 he was head of the training school under Friedrich Dittes at the pedagogy in Vienna.

From 1872 he taught at the German University in Prague . He was a representative of the positions of Johann Friedrich Herbart . Willmann was probably the most important pedagogue in old Austria. He tried to find a philosophical foundation for pedagogy. His oeuvre has encyclopaedic proportions and deals with topics far beyond pedagogy.

In 1970 the Societas Litterarum Artiumque Ottonis Willmannis was founded in Salzburg in his memory.
