Richard Keilholz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Keilholz (born December 29, 1873 in Haynrode / Untereichsfeld ; † May 6, 1937 in Königstein / Saxon Switzerland ) was a weaving teacher, weaving school director and self-taught local and natural scientist in Katscher (Polish: Kietrz ) in Upper Silesia .

Life

Richard Keilholz completed an apprenticeship as a weaver with his father Johann Keilholz, who ran a model training workshop for weavers in Haynrode from 1885. He then completed an apprenticeship sponsored by the Prussian state as a traveling teacher for weaving in Frankfurt am Main and Berlin . Wedge wood was then used in various places in Silesia .

In 1897 Keilholz worked as a weaving teacher in Katscher, then he was assigned to the legging master in Neurode as an assistant. He then took over the management of the Royal Weaving Training Workshop in Mittelwalde , and then in 1905 the management of the technically modernized Royal Weaving Training Workshop in Katscher.

In addition to his professional activity, he devoted himself to numerous other local tasks, e.g. B. as secretary of the association for support and job placement for needy weavers in Katscher and the surrounding area , as a member of the church council of the small local evangelical community or as a local politician of the center party . In Katscher in 1932 he helped to revive the Weber journeyman brotherhood by founding a new one. He also led the local study group for local history .

Already in the time before the First World War he began to publish on technical problems and scientific research attracted attention from well-known Silesian botanists. After 1920 the natural science interests developed into a diverse scientific activity: Keilholz led geological and botanical excursions for academic naturalists and carried out archaeological excavations. Since 1926 he was a member of the Silesian Antiquities Association.

In addition, Keilholz collected rare plants and animals. He created the first complete systematic representation of the Pontic plant community on the Kalkberg near Katscher and described over 40 of the rare plants found there. The Kalkberg near Katscher nature reserve , which still exists today, is largely the result of his initiative.

With the seizure of power by the National Socialists and the associated ideologization and harmonization of academic activities , his work was suddenly interrupted. He left Katscher in a hurry in 1935 and moved to Königstein / Saxon Switzerland . The political situation at that time as well as the turmoil of the war and post-war period meant that his work was almost forgotten. Especially in Poland you can see your findings as a homeland researcher again today. His studies of the biocenosis on the Kalkberg in Katscher still form a basis for local nature conservation work.

These hiking instructors visited the home weavers, checked the weaving equipment and the working methods, gave technical advice, organized vocational training and qualifications for the home weavers. In addition, they helped with the procurement of the basic materials and with the sale of the finished goods. See: W.
