Johannes Karl Hermann Willy Scheel (born September 29, 1869 in Berlin ; died March 30, 1929 ) was a German pedagogue , philologist, and textbook author .

After graduating from Friedrich-Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Berlin, Willy Scheel studied German and Classical Philology as well as History at the Universities of Berlin , Tübingen and Marburg . In Marburg he was in 1891 with the work contributions to the history of the New High German standard language in Cologne at Edward Schroeder doctorate . The work appeared in an expanded form in 1893 under the title Jaspar von Gennep and the development of the New High German written language in Cologne.

On June 30, 1893, he passed the examen pro facultate docendi, the forerunner of the state examination for high school teachers . This was followed by a short traineeship at the Royal Library in Berlin before he began his military service on October 1, 1893 with the Emperor Franz Garde Grenadier Regiment No. 2 , which he performed until September 30, 1894. Willy Scheel then returned to the Berlin library as an unskilled worker until July 1, 1895, before starting his seminar year at the Königliches Wilhelms-Gymnasium on October 1, 1895 and then starting his probationary year at the Ascanisches Gymnasium in Berlin on October 1, 1896 . From October 1, 1897 to March 31, 1898 he was employed as an assistant teacher at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Gymnasium, and from April 1, 1898 as an assistant teacher at the Steglitz grammar school . There he was promoted to senior teacher on April 1, 1899, taught there until March 31, 1909, in order to then take over as director of the Realgymnasium in Nowawes . One of his students in Nowawes was the German-American photographer and archaeologist Ernst Nathan , who dedicated his thesis, published in 1916, “Excavations and inscriptions as explanations of selected passages of Horace”.

Willy Scheel researched in particular the development of the New High German written language, edited the grammar of Albert Ölinger , a German grammarist of the 16th century, and published the work of Jörg Wickram together with Johannes Bolte . With Josef Kohler he edited the critical edition of the Constitutio Criminalis Carolina in four volumes, which is still fundamental to dealing with this legal source of the early modern period .
