HEINICKE, SAMUEL (1727-1790)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 216 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HEINICKE, SAMUEL (1727-1790) , the originator in
Germany
  of systematic
education
  for the deaf and dumb, was born on the loth of
April
  1727, at Nautschutz,
Germany
 . Entering the electoral bodyguard at Dresden, he subsequently supported himself by teaching. About 1754 his first deaf and dumb
pupil
  was brought him. His success in teaching this
pupil
  was so
great
  that he determined to devote himself entirely to this
work
 . The outbreak of the Seven Years' War upset his plans for a time. Taken prisoner at Pirna, he was brought to Dresden, but soon made his escape. In 1768, when living in Hamburg, he success-fully taught a deaf and dumb boy to talk, following the methods prescribed by Amman in his
book
  Surdus loquens, but improving on them. Recalled to his own country by the elector of
Saxony
 , he opened in
Leipzig
 , in 1778, the first deaf and dumb institution in Germany. This school he directed till his death, which took
place
  on the 3oth of
April
  1790. He was the author of a variety of books on the instruction of the deaf and dumb.
