Karl Friedrich Becker (11 March 1777 – 15 March 1806) was a German educator and historian. His major work was World History for Children and Teachers of Children (German: Weltgeschichte für Kinder und Kinderlehrer) which was widely used. It was much edited and revised by others after Becker's death.

Biography

Becker was a native of Berlin. He studied history and philosophy at the University of Halle, and after finishing his studies, worked as a tutor in Cottbus. From 1798 to 1800 he was a schoolteacher in Berlin, but due to poor health had to resign from teaching and devote his time to literary and historical work. Becker died on 15 March 1806 at the age of 29. His grave is preserved in the Protestant Friedhof I der Jerusalems- und Neuen Kirchengemeinde (Cemetery No. I of the congregations of Jerusalem's Church and New Church) in Berlin-Kreuzberg, south of Hallesches Tor.
