Kleine deutsche Sprachlehre

by Hermann Bohm, Walter Steinert

About the author

Hermann Bohm is a relatively obscure author, and the clearest confirmed record available here is his co-authorship, with Walter Steinert, of Kleine deutsche Sprachlehre. Project Gutenberg lists that work under his name, and modern library and catalog pages identify it as a concise guide to German grammar and usage.

From the surviving descriptions of the book, Bohm appears to have been an educator or language instructor focused on straightforward teaching rather than literary fame. The book was designed to explain essential rules of German clearly and usefully, suggesting a practical, classroom-minded approach.

Because reliable biographical information about his life is scarce in the sources I could confirm, it is safest to remember him through that work: a compact instructional text that helped preserve and pass on the structure of written German.
