Life

Sigismund Andreas Cuno was a son of the Schöningen merchant and mayor Johann Heinrich Cuno (1642-1716). After attending school in Schöningen, he and his cousin were taught by a private tutor in Wolfenbüttel in the house of his uncle Sigismund Georg Schöps. From 1686 to 1694 he was a student of the Anna-Sophianeum grammar school in Schöningen and from 1694 to 1697 of the old town grammar school in Magdeburg under the direction of his uncle Anton Werner Cuno (1635-1707). From 1697 to 1701 he studied at the Juleum in Helmstedt.

After graduating, Cuno was first head of a grammar school in Tangermünde in Saxony-Anhalt from 1701 to 1707 . He then returned to his hometown Schöningen in the state of Braunschweig. At the Anna-Sophianeum there, he initially worked as deputy director ("Konrektor") and from 1717 to 1746 as director ("Rector"). After Werner Cuno (1600–1657), Rector of the Aegidienschule in Braunschweig and Anton Werner Cuno (1635–1696) - among others teacher of Georg Philipp Telemann - he was the third rector of his sex. He retired in 1746 for health reasons. His successor was the long-time vice rector Johann Friedrich Nolte .

Cuno married Katharina Elisabeth Goldbeck in 1706 and had four sons and a daughter with her (Johann Theodor I, 1707–1709; Johann Theodor II, 1709–1711; Carl August 1709–1760, pastor in Offleben and brother-in-law of Louise Menken, née Witte , a great-grandmother of Otto von Bismarck ; Johann Friedrich, 1711–1747, rector in Wolfenbüttel and ancestor of Wilhelm Raabe's wife , Bertha Emilie Wilhelmine Leiste; Bernhardine Elisabeth, 1714–1740, married to Professor Peter Gericke , 1683–1750). He was related to Friedrich Eberhard Boysen (1720-1800) through the marriage of his cousin Lucia Louise Cuno . His better-known descendants include Carl Cuno and Hellmuth Cuno .

Act

Cuno's importance is based on his educational and local historical writings. Among other things, he wrote 40 school programs in Braunschweig. Of his works, the Chronicle of Schöningen, the Memorabilia Scheningensia , published in 1728, deserves special mention. The chronicle is divided into subject groups, contains a very extensive source annex and is made accessible through a register. The salt pans and the high school , for example, are dealt with in separate sections .

Cuno is characterized as an “important school man” for the Braunschweig region , whose chronicle was an “impressive early scientific endeavor” to research the local history of Schöningen.
