Johann Gottlieb Lindner (17 March 1726 – 18 December 1811) was a German pedagogue, historian and author.[1] In 1894 he became the director of the Lyceum of Arnstadt and Schwarzburg.[2]
Life[]
Johann Gottlieb Lindner was born in Bärenstein,[3] a small town in Saxony, right on the frontier with Bohemia. The area was known for its ore mines, and Lindner's father was a miner.[1] His first recorded employment was as a teacher at the Kreuzschule (literally School of the Cross) in Dresden. During this period he supplemented his meagre earnings by working as a musical performer and was thereby able to work his way up the social scale.[1]
He commenced a study course at Leipzig University in 1748, becoming a Master (Magister) of Philology. In 1751, on the recommendation of the local Superintendent , Lindner was appointed co-rector at Langensalza, where he would have been working with Ernesti.[1] In 1761 he became a member of the . In 1765 he was appointed deputy to the Rector of the regionally important Grammar school (Gymnasium) in Arnstadt, where he himself took over as Rector[3] in 1794.[1] Subsequently he became the Advisor for School Matters to the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen.[4]
The writer[]
Lindner wrote extensively on Philology, History, Topography and Numismatics. One of his students, Johann Christian von Hellbach, later became a publisher and produced a compilation of his writings.[5] It was also von Hellbach who edited and published Lindner's autobiography.
