from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Wilhelm Steinmann (* 24. March 1817 in Hanover ; † 26. October 1859 ) was a German teacher and textbook - publisher .

Life

After completing his school lessons, Wilhelm Steinmann attended a secondary institute of the Royal Hanover School Teacher Seminar , but also received further training for a total of three years through private studies in modern languages, mathematics and, among other things, music and drawing.

He then worked as a private tutor for three and a half years at Gesmold Castle near Osnabrück, returned to Hanover at short notice in 1836 and from Michaelis 1836 worked as a private tutor in Bettensen . About a year later, around Michaelis 1837, he was accepted into the main institute of the Hanover Teachers' College for three years, before Michaelis took over the position of a class teacher of the third elementary class or the 9th class of the higher middle school in the residential city of Hanover in 1840 .

In this position, Steinmann and the teacher Heinrich Schulze, who worked at the Hanover Lyceum, published the multi-volume textbook Kinderschatz , which was intended as a reading book for elementary classes and, according to its subtitle, was "put together according to the children's capacity". The first part, which appeared in 1846 with a foreword by Adolf Tellkampf , was, according to its subtitle, a “German reading book for the earliest adolescents [and] at the same time as material for narrative and memory exercise”. The second edition, printed by Friedrich Culemann , was published by Louis Ehlermann in Hanover in 1848 . The work with the overall title Preschool zum Kinderschatz appeared in four editions by 1871, and with its three volumes in one to several dozen editions each, only from 1886 by Heinrich Schulze, but now together with the pedagogue Friedrich Kiel .

In 1850 Steinmann went "as the first teacher of the preparatory classes for middle school ". He had to stop teaching due to an incurable physical ailment and finally succumbed to it in 1859. Wilhelm Steinmann's tombstone , an approximately 1.30 meter high stele, was placed in the old St. Nikolai cemetery with the inscription on the back: “Rest gently after yours long suffering. "
