This article presents and analyses the life and work of Kvirin Vidačić (1839–1906). He was a prominent teacher and pedagogue, whose importance in the history of Križevci stems from his work. He graduated from teaching school in Zagreb and was one of the founders of the Voluntary Fire Brigade in Križevci, as well as the Choral Society “Zvono”. From 1861 until his retirement in 1890, he was a teacher at the public school in Križevci. He was its headmaster from 1877 to 1890. He researched the history of Križevci and the public school.
