Carl Richard Moench (auch: Karl, geb. 1850 in Wittenberg; gest. 1921) war ein deutsch-amerikanischer Philologe und Hochschullehrer.

Lebensweg

Der Vater von Carl Richard Moench war Pastor an der Schlosskirche in der Luther-Stadt Wittenberg.

Carl Richard Moench legte im Jahr 1870 sein Abitur am Gymnasium Wittenberg ab. Vermutlich war er Soldat im Deutsch-Französischen Krieg von 1870/1871. Moench studierte Alt-Griechisch, Latein und Hebräisch an den Universitäten in Halle, Berlin und Leipzig und wurde 1876 an der Universität Leipzig zum Dr. phil. promoviert. In den Jahren von 1880 bis 1883 war Moench Hilfslehrer am Gymnasium Wittenberg und Klassenlehrer („Ordinarius“) am Gymnasium Torgau.

Über Moenchs Leben in den Jahren zwischen circa 1871 und circa 1890 ist nichts Konkretes bekannt. Möglicherweise hat er als Hauslehrer für die Kinder einer Grafen-Familie gearbeitet.

Moench, der neben seiner Muttersprache Deutsch auch fließend Englisch, Französisch und Spanisch sprach und neben diesen lebenden Sprachen auch Latein, Alt-Griechisch und Hebräisch unterrichtete, wanderte etwa im Jahr 1890 in die USA aus.

Moench war von 1893 bis 1897 Professor für Alte Sprachen am Union College in Nebraska, einer von Siebenten-Tags-Adventisten betriebenen Privathochschule. In den Jahren 1897 und 1898 war Moench Professor für moderne Sprachen an der privaten University of Puget Sound. Im Jahr 1898 wurde Moench Professor für lateinische Sprache und Literatur und Hebräisch-Lehrer an der University of Washington in Seattle, die er bereits 1900 wieder verlässt, offenbar nicht ganz freiwillig. Im Februar 1900 hatte Moench das Manuskript eines ganz in lateinischer Sprache abgefassten Buches über das Verhältnis zwischen Religion und Staat bei Aristoteles und Platon fertiggeschrieben und einen Verleger dafür in Chicago gefunden.

Von 1900 bis 1901 war Moench Sprachenlehrer an der High School in Ogden, Utah, dann wechselte er als Lehrer für moderne Sprachen an die Landwirtschaftshochschule (das Agricultural College) in Logan (Utah). Seine Ehefrau hatte dort die Aufsicht über die Schlafsäle der Studenten. Am 18. Juni 1903 kam es zu Handgreiflichkeiten und Beleidigungen zwischen Carl Richard Moench und einem Redakteur des Logan Republican, der örtlichen Zeitung, wegen eines Zeitungsartikels, durch den Moench sich gekränkt fühlte. Bereits im Sommer 1903 verließ Moench die Landwirtschaftshochschule Logan wieder, in der Absicht, an eine Militärakademie in Missouri zu wechseln, vermutlich an die im Jahr 1889 in Mexico, Missouri, gegründete Missouri Military Academy. Bereits Anfang Dezember 1903 tritt Moench jedoch als „Secretary and Dean of Faculty“ am Lawrenceburg College in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, in Erscheinung. Auch dort blieb Moench nicht lange – ab September 1904 war er Lehrer für Deutsch, Französisch und Spanisch am Agricultural College in Fort Collins, Colorado. Im Jahr 1910 wurde Moench Sprachenlehrer am Atlantic Christian College (heute: Barton College) in Wilson, North Carolina, einer Bildungseinrichtung der Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Im Frühjahr 1911 schrieb Moench gelegentlich Beiträge zur lokalen Tageszeitung, der Wilson Times. Von etwa Mai bis etwa Oktober 1911 arbeitete Moench für die Bahngesellschaft Norfolk and Southern Railroad und andere Unternehmen aus North Carolina. Sein Auftrag bestand darin, in Deutschland Auswanderer anzuwerben, sich in North Carolina niederzulassen. Moench war von Anfang Juni bis Anfang Oktober 1911 in Europa. Anfang Juli 1911 erlitt er einen leichten Schlaganfall. Gleichwohl besuchte er auf dieser Deutschland-Reise seine Tante in Annaburg bei Wittenberg und hielt mehr als 70 Vorträge über Auswanderung nach North Carolina. Sehr bald nach seiner Rückkehr, im November 1911, ging Moench als Lehrer für moderne und tote Sprachen nach Wilmington, North Carolina.

Über die Jahre von 1911 bis 1921, Moenchs letzte zehn Lebensjahre, ist wenig bekannt. Im Frühjahr 1912 hielt er einen Vortrag über Mormonentum am Clemson College in Clemson, South Carolina. Gestorben ist er im Alter von 71 Jahren, und wurde auf dem Oak Hill-Friedhof in Youngstown, Ohio beigesetzt.

Feb. 1900: Washington State University, The Seattle Republican, 23.02.1900

State University

Dr. Moench, the professor of ancient language, is this week addressing the Student assembly in a series of Latin lectures. They are proving a drawing card, particularly to the students of the classical department of the university. Dr. Moench is beyond question the most profound linguist that has ever occupied the chair of ancient languages at the State University. He is, at present, teaching advance work in Latin, Greek and Hebrew and speaks the leading modern languages very fluently. Since his election, about two years ago, to the chair which he now occupies, Dr. Moench has created an interest in the study of classical languages among the students, which had not existed before his time at the University.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Sunday, February 25, 1900, S. 16

End of the Winter Term University Closes Wednesday For A Short Vacation. Dr. Carl R. Moench Publishing a Philosophical Treatise in Latin — [...]

Dr. Carl R. Moench, head of the Latin and Greek department, has a book in the hands of a Chicago publishing house. It is a philosophical treatise, dealing with the relation of religion to the state in the times of Plato and Aristotle, and it is written entirely in Latin. Dr. Moench will use the book in his advanced classes. Advance sheets have sent to the most eminent professors in the leading German and American universities and their criticisms of the work are said to be highly favorable.

[...]

The chapel exercises of the last week were conducted by Dr. Moench who addressed the students on life in the German universities. He dealt Monday with the chapel exercises as managed in such institutions as Leipsic, Berlin and Halle. He described the meetings at which he had heard Prof. Gesenius, the great Hebrew scholar, and Prof. Theodore Mommsen, the famous Roman historian address the collegians. Tuesday he dismissed the examinations and their questions, which are much more voluminous he said, in Germany, than elsewhere. At the Wednesday exercises he told of Student life in the universities, of their much-abused and misunderstood duels, of which he had fought several himself. He commented on the growing college spirit of the University of Washington and congratulated the students on their high standard of honor, which rendered unnecessary any spying on the part of the authorities.

April 1900: Moench verlässt Washington State University, Seattle

State University [Washington State, Seattle]

During the time of the same meeting the regents also elected the faculty for 1900-01. All of the professors and instructors who constituted the faculty of last year were retained except Dr. Carl Richard Moench, professor of Latin literature and instructor in Hebrew. It is quite generally known that Dr. Moench sent in his resignation at the beginning of the present school year, owing, it is claimed, to a threat that if he did not do so certain charges would be filed against him. The man who will fill the chair left vacant by Dr. Moench is to be Prof. Thomas F. Kane, of Olivet College, Michigan. He is known as a man of great learning and broad and liberal views.

18. Juni 1903: Handgreiflichkeiten und Beleidigungen, The Logan Republican, 20.06.1903, S. 8

Thursday evening about 7 o'clock, Dr. Karl Moench, of the A. C. of U. [Agricultural College of Utah], visited this office with the intention of using a buggy whip on the editor. The doctor had the whip taken away from him and used on his own pedal extremities until the whip was taken from the editor's hands by W. H. Hurst. Dr. Moench then proceeded to brand us as a "coward", "scoundrel," and what not, finally getting into his buggy and driving away. The affair occurred in front of the Republican office, and furnished some fun for a large number of spectators. The trouble grew out of an item written at the time of the Lincoln Hotel fire, in which a little foible of the Dr.'s was touched upon in a jocular manner, and at which the old man became offended. The affair was most disgraceful and sincerely regretted by us.

1. Juli 1903: Dr. Moench geht vom Agricultural College in Logan, Utah, an eine Military School in Missouri

Dr. Karl Moench Resigns. It is given out that Dr. Karl Moench has tendered his resignation to Pres. Kerr, and that it is his intention to leave Logan at the end of the present school year. Last January the genial Dr. was tendered a position in connection with a military school in Missouri, and after due consideration has decided to accept. He goes as an associate in the work and not as instructor. The school is mentioned as being of considerable importance, ranking high among military schools. Dr. Moench has held the chair of Modern Language and Latin in the A.C. during the past two years and his work has been very successful. This change will take Mrs. Moench from the dormitory which will be much regretted by the students, who regard her as being the most satisfactory matron the dormitory has ever had. Both Dr. and Mrs. Moench have a large circle of friends among the townspeople who will regret to have them leave the city, but will wish them much happiness and success in the now field. The Dr. 's resignation is to take effect on July 1st.

He is a veteran of the Franco-Russian war, has been in this country teaching in leading colleges for 20 years and has traveled extensively. He is a German of distinguished appearance, and says he comes to Wilson to aid Prof. Caldwell in making the Atlantic Christian College among the first educational institutions of this country. We welcome him to our midst.

Dr. Moench Sails For Germany, in: The Wilson Times, 19.05.1911, S. 8

Dr. Moench Sails For Germany. Tomorrow night Dr. Moench leaves Wilson for Baltimore, where in a few days he will sail for Germany. As already announced, while in the old country, be will inaugurate a movement to swing towards Eastern North Carolina some of the immigra tion that has been going West. We have come to value the friend ship of Dr. Moench very highly and to feel that, his presence in the com muni ty has been very beneficial. He is a big hearted German and gener ous to a fault His education is of the highest type, for the Germans are thorough and do all things well. We can imitate them in many things to profit. : Dr. Moench is a staff corre spondent of the Times and will nrnish during his absence letters to our readers. So greatly "appreciated iave beenhis contributions that we 'eel sure his communications will be mticipated with pleasure by the thou sands of Times readers scattered over Eastern North Carolina' who are also interested in the progress and development of the b,est section un der the sun. At the present price for advertising space we find there is no profit in the publication of a newspaper of a suf ficient size and containing the news matter necessary to command the re spect of our readers. Neither does there allow - any room for ' expansion upon the present rate of space. Of course at $4.00 per year there is nothing to bs made on the .sub scription price. . We also realize with the present volume of business our business men cannot afford to pay us a greater price for advertising until the volume of business increases, and our. cities build up, we must move along the best way we can. ' . " Again, in order to increase business and build cities there must be an in crease in population, that our busi ness men may be justified in an in Urease of their appropriations for ad; vertismg. " - - . By getting more people into the country, dividing up our farms Into smaller tracts, increasing the produc tiveness of the soil, making two bales of cotton grow where one grew be: fore, increasing the bank accounts of the farmers so they will have money to invest in factories which in turn will build up the cities, we hope to accomplish something for ourselves as well as others. Therefore we are trying to increase the population in this country, and Dr. Moench, who is fond of Wilson people and desires to make his home here, has become deeply interested in the immigration proposition, and will endeavor to see what, can be done towards bringing the thrifty Germans to Eastern North Carolina. .. "' DR. MOENCH'S FAREWELL. He Writes a Very Appreciative Letter to His Friends. ' On the eve of my departure for Germany I am compelled to use The Times as a medium of bidding a hearty and sincere farewell to my many and dear friends young and old, in Wilson. It would be utterly impossble to see every one of my friends, here in person, as much as I would like to do so. Wilson and her people are near and dear to my heart and it seems almost a hard ' matter for me to say "good bye" even for a few months or weeks. The kindness I have received from the people in Wilson will be an inspiraton for me to do good solid work for Wilson and Eastern North Carolina whilst on my mission in Germany. I shall be -for one month or longer, if neccessary. and if properly supported by the peo ple of North Carolina, busy to give lectures and talks in my native coun try on North Carolina, her people, climate, agricultural prospects, etc , and try to induce some colonies of in dustrious, sturdy German farmers and their families to make their homes' in North Carolina, settle on the vast areas of unsettled lands and become good American citizens. In this en deavor I feel I will be successful" and pay in this, way my gratitude for the kindness received in the dear old Tar Heel State. More about my success in my undertaking through the columns of The Times when on the other side of the ocean. I will, of course, return to Wilson in August, and take up my work again as an educator and teacher. My address in Germany will be, Dr. K. R. Moench, Annaburg, Bezirk Halle, Prussia, Germany, and I will be de lighted to receive there some postal cards or letters from friends and will be thus constantly in communication with my Wilson friends. ' Once more and only for a brief period, good bye to my friends, and such only I leave behind me. K. R. MOENCH, Ph. D.

Dr. Moench Engaged By N. & S. R. R. To Travel Over Northern Europe, The Wilson Times, 26.05.1911, S. 1

IMMIGRATION PLAN GOOD DR. Moench ENGAGED BY N. & S. R. R. TO TRAVEL OVER NORTHERN EUROPE OTHERS ARE INTERESTED The immigration proposition is working out nicely. Dr. Moench, in company with Mr. Rice, of the Land and Industrial Department of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad Com pany, was taken over the fine truck ing section of that road and given data to present to his European coun trymen. From thence he was taken to Nor folk and in company with Mr. Rice and Mr. W. W. Croxton, General Pas senger Agent of the road, he wfi shown ever Norfolk and taken over their lines to Virginia Beach and Cape Henry. Following a conference with the of ficials of the road, at which Dr. Moench was employed to tour Ger- many ,and Northern Europe, he was accompanied by Mr. Rice to Balti more, where a conference was held with Mr. Schoemaker, President of the North German Lloyd line of steamships, who will keep in toticti with Dr. Moench and transport the emigrants he secures. We have letters before us frofia both Dr. Moench and Mr. Croxton confirming the above and both write enthusiastically of the proposition. Dr. Moench sends his love to th& people of Wilson, whom he wwrltea he will ever hold in dearest and fond est remembrance. He sails on th 31st, Mr. Croxton writes: "Dr. Moench is certainly a wonderful man. He pos sesses a splendid ppersonality and a world of intelligence. We have ar ranged to accept his proposition for a six weeks' campaign in Europe and I hae great hopes for results." We have another letter before u& from Mr. Grosvenor Dawe, Managing Director of the Southern Commercial. Congress, an organization that is dov . ing a great wrork for the South. Mr. Dawe's letter follows: "Washington, D. C, May 24, 191U. "Mr. John D. Gold, Editor, "The Times "Wilson, N. C. i "My Dear Sir: "Yours of the 9th has only just reached my hand, as I have beea away for five weeks, covering a num ber of the broader interests of the Southern Commercial Congress in the Southern States. I wish that it had been possible for me to have gotten in touch with Dr. Moench before he started, since you say it is unquqes tionably true that if we do not want the kind of immigration that will hurt our civilization, then we have got to go out and find the kind that will help. The South must face this problem. It cannot any longer re main indifferent to the immigration stream. I am personally glad that It can not; for the South, as soon as ft recognizes that national problems are Its own, will then come back rapidly Into national participation and I be lieve into national leadership. When Dr. Moench returns I hope he will be able to stop off in Washington and that we may become acquainted. Kindly send me his European address, that I may communicate with him. "Yours very truly, G GROSVENOR DAWE, "Managing Director."

Dr. Moench Sailed Yesterday. It is said that 45,000 good Ameri cans, with $30,000,000 of property, have recently gone to northwestern Canada or are now on the way there. Many of these people could have been turned this way and into the South, which needs them so much, if the advantages of this section had been set before them. The Western rail roads go after, them and get them. Raleigh Times. The Times is correct, but Canada is spending lots of money in advertising while the South is doing little or nothing in this direction. It is the purpose of Mr. W. W. Croxton, General Passenger Agent of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad Company, and a live wire, to see what can be done in this line. The Norfolk and Southern is paying the expenses of Dr. Moench in Germany this sum mer, that he may travel among the inhabitants of Northern Europe and acquaint them with the posibilities of this section. Such progressiveness is worthy of mention and of encouragement. We received a telegram from Dr. Moench yesterday afternoon sending his love to Wilson people and stating that his ship was preparing to' weigh anchor.

Has Done Fine Work

Dr. Karl R. Moench who has been in Germany for the past four months delivering addresses and advertising Eastern North Carolina in the interest of the Norfolk Southern railroad Company returned to Wilson last evening. Dr. Moench is still on the Times staff and will give our readers a number of interesting articles concerning his trip to Europe. He has done a great work abroad, delivering 76 addresses in different parts of the Empire where he found the people pretty well acquainted with conditions in the western part of America but totally unfamiliar with those in the South. His work should bear good fruit in the immediate future as well as the years to come.

November 1911: Dr. Moench Goes to Wilmington

Dr. Moench Goes to Wilmington. For the second time in a short space of time I am compelled to say "good bye" to my many and good friends in Wilson. When in May I left Wilson to begin my work in Germany for North Carolina I had great hopes to do a good work for the good old Tar Heel State to bring over and to induce good, industrious German farmers to come as soon as possible to North Carolina and help to make the old State what in time it will and must be. I worked hard for three long months and with fine results as the future will show when conditions forced me to return sooner than my work in Europe demanded. Have I given up my work ? Have I lost faith in the ultimate good results of my many lectures, especially in the interest of North Carolina. By no means. Time will teach. In the meantime I must live and as a good opportunity for teaching seems open in Wilmington, I have decided to move there and settle down in my old profession to teach. Some prominent people in Wilmington have very kindly invited me to make my home with them and I shall, do so. While I expect to make new friends, I can assure my old friends in Wilson that their kindnesses, with which they have received me in their homes will never be forgotten. I have only the best feelings to wards Wilson, the Wilsonites and the constant progress of beautiful Wilson is my every direction. Wilson is my every wish. PROF. K. R. MOENCH, Phd.

»... is an instructor of modern and ancient languages and will open a class in Wilmington ... Dr. Moench comes to Wilmington from Wilson where he had made his home for a number of years «

Dr. Moench in Wilmington. We are deeply gratified that our friend, Dr Karl R. Moench is receiving a warm welcome at the hands of Wilmington people. Dr. Moench is a wonderful man, with a wonderful mind. He is a master of language has a big heart and wins his way easily into the affections of the people. The following notices both editorial and local have appeared in the Wilmington Star. "We spent a delightful hour yesterday chatting with Dr. Karl R. Moench who within the past few days took up his residence in Wilmington. The doctor especially is an instructor of modern and ancient languages and will open a class in Wilmington, but he is also a traveller of note and a charming gentleman in conversation. Polished, suave of manner, with fascinating fluency of a real conversationist and the beautiful thoughts of scholar, he is from first to last decidedly entertaining and a rich source from which much learning can be obtained. Dr. Moench comes to Wilmington from Wilson where he had made his home for a number of years and where he is greatly beloved. The past summer he spent in Europe, particularly in his dear Fatherland. We trust he will do well in Wilmington, and Wilmington like other cities its size, should furnish a fruitful field for teaching languages, because Americans are now beginning to realize that they have been poorly equipped with languages in the past, in comparison with the people of other countries. The need is not only felt by those who may be fortunate enough to travel abroad, but by those at home, because this country is being brought in closer personal and business contact with other countries year by year. The need of the German language is frequently felt, and soon the need will also be felt for the Spanish language, when the Panama Canal is opened, and Wilmington gets one of the big gest slices from the trade cake." In order to show the line of work Dr. Moench has taken up we reproduce the following from the Star: "Dr. Moench, a language professor of note, will speak at the Bijou Theatre this afternoon at 5 o'clock, taking as his subject "Practical Christianity and Personal Reminiscences" Dr. Moench has recently returned from Germany, where he went to visit his old home in Wittenberg, his father being at one time the pastor of the famous Luther's church. The service is held under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and because of Dr. Moench's popularity among the young people of the city, a large number of young people and older people, too no doubt, will hear him. This service will begin the world-wide week of prayer for young men in this city and prayer services will be held every day in the association parlors at 1 o'clock.

What of Mormonism? [...] The lecture will be given by Dr. Carl R. Moench, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Moench is a native of Germany, having received his education at the Universities of Halle, Berlin and Leipsic; and holds the Doctor of Philosophy degree from the great University of Leipsic. For two years, Dr. Moench was professor of languages at the University of Utah; and he is intimately familiar with with the life of the people of that state. Both from his personal contact and from a scholarly study of conditions among the Mormons, he has been able to gather some most interesting, and at the same time, some thoroughly reliable information about their life and customs. This will be an unusual opportunity for cadets to obtain information on this great problem, and it is hoped that many will avail themselves of it.
