Gotthilf Christoph Wilhelm Busolt

He is known for his transcripts of Immanuel Kant's lectures at the University of Königsberg and his influence on the Prussian educational reforms.

[1][2] He started to study at the University of Königsberg (Kaliningrad) in 1788, where he attended lectures of Christian Jakob Kraus and Immanuel Kant.

Busolt left Königsberg in 1798 to travel through Germany and visit several schools and learn about their different pedagogic concepts.

When Napoleon reached Königsberg in June 1812 Louisenwahl was regarded too miserable for a king ("Miserable chateau pour un roi")[3] Busolt became a member of Königsberg's city parliament in 1809 and member of the school reform commission headed by Wilhelm von Humboldt.

[1] Throughout the period of Prussian reforms August Neidhardt von Gneisenau lived for several month at Busolt's home.
