Karl Justus Blochmann

In 1809 he relocated to Switzerland, where he spent eight years teaching classes at Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi's institute in Yverdon-les-Bains.

Pestalozzi's educational philosophy had a profound influence on Blochmann that lasted throughout his lifetime.

Desirous of a school system that took a more progressive, comprehensive approach to education, in 1824 with the support of Saxon cabinet minister Detlev Graf von Einsiedel (1773–1861), he founded the "Blochmannsche Institute" in Dresden.

Among those who spent time as instructors at his school were, philologist Alfred Fleckeisen (1820–1899), agricultural chemist Julius Adolph Stöckhardt (1809–1886) and historian Arnold Dietrich Schaefer (1819–1883).
