Theophilus Grabener

Theophilus Grabener , also: Gottlieb Grabner , (born November 3, 1685 in Zschoppach , † April 15, 1750 in Meißen ) was a German educator.

Life

Theophilus Grabener was born in 1685 as the son of the pastor of Zschoppach near Leisnig, Johann Wolf Grabner. He had married a daughter of the Scheibenberg pastor Christian Lehmann and took over his office in 1689. Theophilus was familiarized with the historical research of his grandfather at an early age and attended school in Scheibenberg before he switched to the Princely School in Schulpforta . On September 19, 1704 he moved to the University of Wittenberg , where he trained in the Artes liberales . He attended, among other things, the lectures on poetics with Johann Wilhelm Berger, the lectures on ethics with Christian Röhrensee and Heinrich Ludwig Wernher , the lectures on history with Heinrich Leonhard Schurtzfleisch , the lectures in the Greek language with Georg Wilhelm Kirchmaier , the lectures in logic with Georg Friedrich Schröer , the lectures in mathematics with Heinrich Klausing and Michael Strauch , the lectures in physics with Johann Baptist Röschel and the lectures in rhetoric with Konrad Samuel Schurzfleisch .

With Johann Christoph Wichmannshausen he completed the philosophical lectures and acquired under his leadership with the dissertation de planctu Hadadrimmon on April 30, 1708 the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy. Grabener would have gladly devoted himself to academic life and for this purpose stayed a while in Wittenberg, where he worked as a private lecturer. Since the prospects for such a position were not good, however, he went in 1711 as the third teacher at the grammar school in Freiberg . Little is known of his work there. It is assumed that he was completely occupied with his work. He described himself as "tense at the torture of schoolwork".

In 1717 he went to the electoral state school Sankt Afra in Meißen in the same position . There he took over the administration of the library in 1722 and in 1732 advanced to the position of rector of the important Saxon educational institution. Grabener is one of the most important rectors of the electoral state school. During his time as rector, the school produced personalities such as Christoph Sar and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing . As an author, he mainly devoted himself to biographical topics. His son Christian Gottfried Grabener also gained importance as an author and educator.
