Leiste, Christian
Christian Leiste (August 17, 1738 - February 21, 1815) was a German educator, geographer, and mathematician who spent nearly his entire career at the Große Schule in Wolfenbüttel, first becoming the deputy head (Konrektor) of the school in 1766, the Headmaster (Rektor) in 1778, a position he held until his death. From this position, he exerted considerable pedagogical influence in Wolfenbüttel and even throughout Germany. He also published his own work on mathematics, natural sciences, and geography, and was a collaborator of philosopher Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729 - 1781).
