Johann Heinrich Rosenplänter (12 July/23 July 1782 in Valmiera – 15 April/27 April 1846 in Pärnu) was a Baltic German linguist and Estophile. He edited one of the first scientific journals on the Estonian language, Beiträge zur genauern Kenntniß der ehstnischen Sprache (commonly referred to as Beiträge...).[1]
Early life
editRosenplänter was born in Valmiera (then Wolmar), Livonia, in the Russian Empire, the son of a postmaster. He was educated by private tutors and attended the Tallinn Gymnasium for approximately one year, as well as the Riga Dome school for a similar period. He lost his parents early in life and was forced to begin working while still young.[2] His engagement with Estonian language and culture was shaped by the intellectual currents of Romanticism and Rationalism, particularly the ideas of Johann Gottfried Herder.
