Reinhold Schommers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reinhold Schommers (born April 12, 1936 in Sankt Aldegund ; † October 19, 2000 there ) was a German director of studies and local researcher in the district of Cochem-Zell .

life and career

Reinhold Schommers' parents were cellar master Josef Schommers (1906–1980) and his wife Luise, née Reiz (1908-1992). He spent his youth and school days in his hometown, after which he went to today's Cusanus-Gymnasium in Wittlich , where he passed his Abitur in 1955. He then studied Latin , geography , history , philosophy and art history in Mainz , Freiburg im Breisgau and Bonn from 1956 to 1960 . After his first state examination, he completed legal clerkship in Boppard and Koblenz. When he had also passed his second state examination - combined with additional studies - he took his first job as a teacher at the Gauß-Gymnasium in Worms and then from Easter 1963 became a teacher at the Martin-von-Cochem-Gymnasium in Cochem. In 1973 he was promoted to director of studies , where he mainly taught geography and Latin; he retired in 1998.

In addition to his professional and voluntary activities, Schommers began to write articles in the supplement of the Rhein-Zeitung from 1970 . In 1983 he published a portrait of his home community under the name St. Aldegund an der Mosel - Portrait of a winegrowing village - A village and its people in old and new pictures . In the years that followed, many other publications, brochures and newspaper articles followed, dealing with the history of individual parishes, people, churches, church property, art institutions and museums in the Cochem-Zell district.

In addition, in the annual editions of the Cochem-Zell homeland yearbook, he regularly reminded of recurring anniversaries, birthdays or days of death of personalities from the Cochem-Zell district. He became known to his readership through over 45 individual contributions in the district yearbooks that he submitted between 1985 and his death, including some reviews .

At the local political level, he successfully campaigned for the protection of monuments and the preservation of the landscape by repeatedly pointing out the historical and artistic riches of the Moselle landscape and the importance of preserving this natural beauty of the region and its millennia-old character as a wine-growing landscape.

It was also he who established and maintained contact between the art patron Peter Ludwig and Sankt Aldegund in the 1960s . In addition, he campaigned for the continued existence and redevelopment of museums such as those in Karden , Mittelstrimmig and Senheim , as well as for the redesign and conversion of the Cochem Capuchin monastery into a cultural center, the renovation of which the city of Cochem was able to complete in 1998. Shortly before his death, the municipal administration of Sankt Aldegund proposed him for the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in April 2000 . The two halves of his tombstone, connected by a cross, bear as an inscription a quote from the 1st letter of the apostle Paul to the Corinthians (1 Cor. 13: 9f): “Our knowledge is piecemeal, our planning is piecemeal. But when the perfection comes, the piecemeal is dismissed ”.
