After
he had passed his examination as a teacher in 1903, Maximilian Katzer
worked as a teacher in Berlin until 1942. He published two pedagogical
books: "Vom Eindruck zum Ausdruck" (published in 1945 by Georg
Westermann Verlag) and "Das Lehrgespräch in der Volksschule" (published
in 1951 by Pädagogischer Verlag Schwann).In 1927 he was appointed headmaster
of the school. In 1944 his home in Berlin was destroyed by an air-bomb.
So he had returned to Grafenort in Silesia, where he stayed until the
end of the war. As a refugee he had to move to West Germany where he
found a new home in Hohenlimburg. Maximilian Katzer had 13 brothers and
sisters. We thank Joachim Katzer, the son of one of the brothers of Maximilian
Katzer, for extensive information about them. Maximilian Katzer himself
had 8 children, one of whom (Gerhard Katzer) was the father of the author
of this page.
