Possibly "Heysinger"? In which case it could well be Konrad Heusinger (1752-1820), German classicist and educator. He studied with Christian Gottlob Heyne in Göttingen in the 1770s and went on to serve as Konrektor (deputy director) of the Gymnasium in Wölfenbuttel in 1778. In 1790 he became Direktor of the Katharineum in Braunschweig. He also co-edited the Braunschweigischer Journal and published school editions of Cicero and Livy.
