Konrad Alexander Friedrich Duden (3 January 1829 – 1 August 1911) was a Gymnasium (high school) teacher who became a philologist. He founded the well-known German language dictionary bearing his name Duden, somewhat like Noah Webster in the United States. == Life == After receiving his Abitur in 1846 in Wesel, Duden studied history, Germanistics, and classical philology at Bonn. There he joined the ''Wingolfsbund'' student organization and took part in the political activities of the student societies during the revolutionary year 1848. He broke off his training phase in Soest and took a position as a home tutor in Genoa, Italy. There he met the daughter of the German Consul, Adeline Jakob, whom he married in 1861 and had six children with. In 1859 he returned to Germany and worked as a teacher and rose to the position of Director of the ''Archigymnasium'' in Soest. In 1869 he was appointed "Gymnasium" (High-School) director in Schleiz and in 1876 became director of the Royal Gymnasium in Hersfeld. It was here he published his most important work, the "Complete Orthographic Dictionary of the German Language" (''Vollständiges Orthographisches Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache''). In 1905, he retired to Wiesbaden/Sonnenberg. He died in 1911 and was buried in the family grave in Bad Hersfeld. 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「Konrad Duden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
