Life
Professional background
Sturmius Fischer - called "Sturmi" - was born as the fifth child of a family of teachers in Steinau near Fulda . The rare first name Sturmius comes from the founder and first abbot of the Fulda monastery .
His father Georg Leonhard Fischer (1881–1933), a native of Offenbach, was a teacher at a school in Steinau (from 1901 to 1929) and a local poet. In 1929, when Sturmius Fischer was six years old, his father, who wrote plays in his spare time, took up a position as deputy headmaster in the Somborn district of Freigericht , which he held until his death in 1933. The story of Rebecca Löwenstein, the title character of the 1982 award-winning radio play “Becca comes again”, also plays in Somborn.
On March 15, 1941, Sturmius Fischer passed the final examination.
After the war, Sturmius Fischer began his professional career at the elementary school in Somborn. He saw his real calling later in his work as a special school teacher.
In 1969 Sturmius Fischer took over the management of the Pestalozzi School in Offenbach am Main . When the school moved to new premises in the Lauterborn district in 1979, the school was renamed “Ludwig-Dern-School” after the first rector of the old Offenbach “auxiliary school”. Sturmius Fischer was director of the Ludwig-Dern-Schule for almost 20 years. On July 21, 1988, at the age of 65, he retired from school and retired. Until 1988 he was also an enthusiastic footballer in charge of the school teams.
Writing
He became known through his second hobby. In his free time he wrote radio plays about historical figures and local history, which were broadcast by the ARD stations. In 1982 his radio play Becca comes again was voted radio play of the month .
The Hessischer Rundfunk writes in the radio play information summer 1983:
“In a series of historical episodes, the Offenbach am Main-based author Sturmius Fischer, director of a school for children with learning disabilities, describes the life of the poor house worker Sebastian and the rich but disabled Becca from the mid-twenties until the post-war period based on actual events. "
Sturmius Fischer also dealt critically with the former namesake of the school. In his radio play “Savior of the Poor” he portrays the school reformer Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746–1827) as an inhuman egocentric: “He talks about poor people as if he were into you and you, but he doesn't talk to them. He hits children and kisses them again right away. He dresses like a clochard, lives like a monk and, as a court lord, exceeds the landlords in terms of effort. ” This is how contradicting Fischer describes the pedagogue Pestalozzi, the main character of his radio play“ Savior of the Poor ”. Pestalozzi made the upbringing of the "poor people" his life's work. In 1769, the Swiss founded Gut Neuhof near Birr in Aargau, and in 1775 he converted it into an educational institution for poor children. Here he tried to give them a basic education. Fischer's radio play deals critically with this period. The radio play ends with the failure of the project in 1779, when Pestalozzi had to send the children away "with a heartfelt speech".
