Wilhelm Lermann (born April 6, 1874 in Kaiserslautern , † March 28, 1952 in Munich ) was a German high school teacher and numismatist .

Life

Wilhelm Lermann was the son of the legal trainee and, in 1874 , the lawyer Wilhelm Lermann , who was transferred to Kaiserslautern as a District Office Assessor and who was raised to the personal nobility in the course of his career. The mother was Johanna, nee Martin, from Aschaffenburg; the sister Margot (* 1875, † 1962) married the philosopher Adolf Dyroff .

Lermann attended the humanistic grammar school in Würzburg , the Munich Maximiliansgymnasium and finally the grammar school in Münnerstadt and was accepted as a scholarship holder in the Maximilianeum Foundation in Munich due to his excellent graduation . However, he broke off the planned study of law because he was called up for military service. In 1895 he was promoted to lieutenant in the reserve, but had to say goodbye due to illness. He studied classical philology at the universities of Würzburg and Munich, specializing in archeology and numismatics. In 1898 and 1899 he passed the state teaching examinations with the grade "very good" and in 1899 received his doctorate from Munich University with an archaeological-numismatic dissertation. At the end of the year he was appointed grammar school assistant and assigned as head (together with the school's principal, Nikolaus Wecklein ) the educational and didactic preparatory course at the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich. On the basis of a travel grant, he was given leave of absence for the 1901/02 school year for a study trip to Rome and Greece. He was then promoted to study teacher and appointed full professor and subject teacher for the subjects German, Latin and geography.

In 1904 Lermann married the daughter of a Danish councilor. At the beginning of the war, in 1914, he joined the army as an officer, was employed as a company commander with the rank of first lieutenant in the Landsturm Infantry Battalion "Augsburg" and was awarded the Iron Cross, 2nd class .

After the end of the war, he returned to the Maximiliansgymnasium and was retired as a "professor with the title and rank of senior student council" by a ministerial resolution of May 1, 1939. He died in Munich at the age of 78 and was buried in the city's forest cemetery.
