Karl Julius Schröer (January 11, 1825 in Bratislava (German: Pressburg/Preßburg), then part of the Austrian Empire – December 16, 1900 in Vienna) was an Austrian linguist and literary critic. == Life == Schröer studied literature and linguistics from 1843-1846 in Leipzig, Halle and Berlin. In 1849 he became a professor of German literature and language in Pest. He returned to Bratislava in 1850 and became a schoolteacher. Political developments in 1860 forced Schröer to leave Hungary for Vienna. From 1861-1866 he was the director of the Evangelical Lutheran School in Vienna's Karlsplatz district. In 1866, he became a professor of Literary History at the Vienna University of Technology. In the following years, Schröer researched the folklore of ethnic Germans in Hungary. As part of this research, he discovered the popular Christmas Plays of Oberufer, a cycle of Medieval mystery plays from the village Oberufer in the vicinity of Bratislava. He collected manuscripts, prepared text-critical comparisons, and published the book "Deutsche Weihnachtspiele aus Ungarn" (German Christmas Plays from Hungary) in 1857/1858. Several scholars later extended this work, especially Schröer's student Rudolf Steiner who founded the Waldorf system of education and included the Oberufer plays in a curriculum still that still includes the plays today. In Vienna, Schröer became an exponent of the Goethe movement (German: Goetheforschung). He was a founding member of the Vienna Goethe Society in 1878 and edited the society's chronicles until 1886. He was especially concerned with Faust research, providing editor's commentary in a two-volume edition of that play. He also edited a six-volume edition of Goethe's dramas. Schröer campaigned for the erection of a Goethe monument in Vienna, which was approved in 1894 with a design by Edmund Hellmann. Schröer died one day before the monument was unveiled. Rudolf Steiner asserts in the last lecture of his ''Karmic Relationships Volume IV'' that Karl Shroer was a reincarnation of Plato. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karl Julius Schröer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
