The educator Samuel Heinicke did not make the spelling and memorizing of difficult texts such as the catechism, which was common at the time, the goal of his lessons, but rather the recognition of syllables and words and the understanding of simple texts first. In addition, he tried to make the concepts associated with words accessible to his deaf students through direct visualization, images and gestures. Since he wanted to return to his homeland in Electoral Saxony towards the end of his life, he asked Elector Friedrich August III to allow him to move his institute to Leipzig. In 1778 he moved to Leipzig with his family and nine students and founded the “Saxon Institute for the Dumb and Other People with Speech Impairments.” This first deaf-mute school in Germany exists to this day as the “Saxon State School for the Hearing Impaired, Samuel Heinicke Support Center.” Heinicke died in Leipzig in 1790.

A granite stone donated by the Eppendorf Citizens' Association was placed here in 1990 to mark the district's 850th birthday. The bust of Samuel Heinicke stands on a massive stone base directly at the southern entrance to Seelemann Park. It represents the link between the green area and the neighboring St. Johannis Church in Eppendorf, because it was here that the educator became well known as the founder of the "German Method" of deaf education. The monument was inaugurated in 1895, but initially stood a few meters away on the corner of Heinicke and Ludolfstrasse, until it was finally given its current location.

When Heinicke came to Hamburg with his wife and son in 1758, he had already educated himself and, as a teacher of writing and music, had also taught a deaf boy spoken language. In Hamburg, he served the Danish treasurer Heinrich Carl von Schimmelmann as tutor and private secretary from 1760 to 1768. He then moved to St. John's Church in Eppendorf, where he worked as a schoolmaster and cantor for ten years and taught deaf students using the teaching method he had developed.

In the Seelemann Park in Eppendorf, the bronze bust of the pedagogue Samuel Heinicke stands on a high pedestal made of reddish granite. He was born on April 10, 1727 in Nautschütz near Zschorgula (in present-day Thuringia). In 1768 he became a schoolmaster and cantor at St. John's Church in Eppendorf. He taught several deaf children, among others, and attracted public attention with his methods and successes.
Through direct observation, pictures and gestures, he made the concepts associated with the words accessible to children. In 1778 he moved with his family and nine students to Leipzig and founded the first school for the deaf and dumb in Germany.
Samuel Heinicke died on April 29, 1790 in Leipzig. In addition to the bust of the sculptor Peter von Woedtke, a portrait in the nearby St. Johannis Church, painted in 1890 by Anton Kaulbach, commemorates the work of the educator in Eppendorf.
