Born: January 18, 1882 in Salem
Died: October 22, 1962 in Wiesbaden

Carl Broglie came from Lake Constance. He first attended elementary school in Salem, then secondary school in Überlingen and the commercial training school in Mehrerau (1896-1898). He wanted to become a teacher and trained at the Grand Ducal Baden Teachers' College in Ettlingen. He also passed his two state examinations there in 1901 and 1905.

Until 1910, he worked at various elementary schools as an assistant teacher, sub-teacher and finally as a main teacher. He then moved from Baden to Prussia and was employed as a teacher at the Blücherschule in Wiesbaden on August 1, 1910. At his last position in Nordhalden, he was already active as organist, at the further education school, in the gymnastics club and as leader of the choral society. He quickly became involved in Wiesbaden outside of the school environment in the Old Catholic parish and the Wiesbaden Teachers' Association.

He also joined the SPD. During the First World War, he served in a military unit from 1915 to 1916. After the founding of the adult education center in Wiesbaden, he became an employee. He took over the "Pedagogical Experimental Department". In public lessons, he gave examples of teaching reforms. He was soon a member of the magistrate's school deputation. Despite his great commitment, his application for a principal position at another school was unsuccessful.

After the National Socialists seized power, his socio-political commitment in the Weimar Republic led to him initially being suspended for political reasons under the "Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service" and then dismissed from his post by decree of the Prussian Minister for Science, Art and National Education on September 21, 1933. He had to support himself and his family on a very small pension.

After the end of the so-called "Third Reich", he was immediately reappointed to the teaching profession. On July 1, 1945, he was appointed principal and principal of the Hebbel Boys' School in Wiesbaden. He retired on November 1, 1948.

In 1945, he had already become a member of the "New School" committee of the Hessian Minister of Education. Even after his retirement, he made a name for himself with numerous publications on school issues.
