Life

Schrader's father was a cantor in Harbke. He received his first lessons from him. He then attended the Julianum grammar school in Helmstedt, but passed the Abitur at the Martineum (Halberstadt) . In 1836 he moved to the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin to study classical philology and philosophy. In the meantime he was tutor in Suderode . In 1843 he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD. From Christmas 1843 to Easter 1846 he was an assistant teacher at the Joachimsthal School . At the same time he was tutor to the sons of the director August Meineke . At Easter 1846, Schrader was transferred to Brandenburg an der Havel as Vice Rector . The March Revolution aroused political commitment in him. He sat on the Committee of Seven and in June 1848 came to the Frankfurt National Assembly as a member of the Brandenburg constituency . There he belonged to the casino . In April 1849 he resigned from the "Academic Parliament".

Schrader's son Ernst Schrader (writer) was born on September 18, 1852 in Brandenburg an der Havel . After three years as director of the grammar school in Sorau , he became the Provincial School Council of the Province of East Prussia in Königsberg in 1856 . For 27 years he was an excellent conservative school man. He was one of the founders of a conservative provincial association and from 1873 actively participated in church-synodal life. The East Prussian provincial synod of the Evangelical Church of the older provinces of Prussia elected him three times as its chairman and as a member of the general synod.

Appointed as curator of the Friedrichs-Universität Halle in 1883 , he initiated structural extensions and improvements, including the construction of the Melanchthonianum , the auditorium and seminar building. He was a member of the December conference in 1890 and gave the keynote address at Meineke's Zentenarium that same year .

classic

In 1879 Schrader defended the humanistic grammar school against contemporary accusations:

“We read the classics because they are ideal role models in terms of form and sensation; we praise antiquity because it has left us clear and true types of humanity; we admire ancient art because it knew how to give physical expression and beautiful form to the highest ideas. "
