Vischer in Stuttgart

Education for the widest audience

His years in Stuttgart were a triumph for Vischer. His lectures were soon an integral part of the educational canon of Stuttgart society, and the students worshipped him too.

His precisely and meticulously prepared lectures and speeches, with his inimitable free and flawless delivery, soon became his hallmark and made the Polytechnic, which had previously focussed almost exclusively on technical disciplines, into the educational heart of the capital. Soon it was the done thing to go to the opera, theatre and "to Vischer". His lecture cycles on German literary history and aesthetics were celebrated as pinnacle achievements in the very highest circles.
