Valentin Friedland called Trozendorf (born February 14, 1490 in Troitschendorf near Görlitz , today rural community Zgorzelec , Poland , † April 26, 1556 in Liegnitz ) was a humanistic schoolboy and founder and rector of the first humanistic grammar school in Silesia .

Life

Valentin Friedland called Trozendorf, after his birthplace Troitschendorf, attended the school in Görlitz , studied in Leipzig and returned to Görlitz as a teacher in 1515, where he spread knowledge of Greek. Luther's demeanor induced him to resign and to go to Wittenberg in 1518 , where he  dearly joined the reformers, namely Philipp Melanchthon .

In 1523 he followed the call as rector of the high school in Goldberg in Lower Silesia. In 1527 he was appointed by Duke Friedrich II (Liegnitz) to the Protestant University of Liegnitz , which he founded and where the humanist Valentin Krautwald also taught. In 1529 he went back to Wittenberg, and in 1531 to Goldberg for the second time. Under his 33-year leadership, the school achieved European fame there. The language of instruction and colloquial use was Latin.

The school coetus was organized on the model of the Roman Republic: there were consuls , senators , censorships , quaestors and comitia ; Over the whole of the little state, Defiantendorf stood as a strict dictator perpetuus. Melanchthon said he was "born to be rector like the older Scipio Africanus was born to be a general". When the Goldberg schoolhouse burned down in 1554, he moved his school to Liegnitz.
