| Abstract | Peter Engelmann--educator, scientist, scholar and liberal thinker--was one of the towering figures to emerge from Milwaukee's German-American community in the middle of the nineteenth century. The foundation for what became the German and English Academy of Milwaukee, or more popularly, the "Engelmann Schule," grew out of a meeting of free-thinkers. The Schuleverein was first organized then the German and English Academy was established. Peter Englemann was hired as director and teacher at the school. Peter Engelmann's contributions to the intellectual life of the Milwaukee community were both significant and lasting. He brought to the city the depth and strength of German educational training, preserving its traditions for his fellow countrymen and sharing its benefits with non-Germans as well. |
