Jacob (also: Jakob) Wackernagel was a son of the German Germanist Wilhelm Wackernagel and brother of Rudolf Wackernagel .
From 1871 to 1875 he studied classical philology , German and history in his hometown of Basel, in Göttingen and in Leipzig . The doctorate took place again in Basel in 1875, the habilitation in 1876 there. From 1879 to 1881 he taught Greek language and literature as an associate professor in Basel and later (1881–1902) as a full professor. From 1902 to 1915 he was a full professor for Indo-European Linguistics in Göttingen. From 1915 to 1936 he taught Indo-European studies in Basel.
Wackernagel married Maria, née Stehlin, in 1886. Two of his children were Hans Georg Wackernagel and Jacob Wackernagel Jr.
The German Archaeological Institute appointed him on Winckelmannstag 1897 as a corresponding member. Since 1901 he was a member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences . In 1931 he was accepted as a corresponding member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences . In the same year he received the Bavarian Maximilian Order for Science and Art .
Jacob Wackernagel is one of the most important "linguists in the philological direction", as he called himself, and his works are still among the most important in Indo-European studies.
In 1923 Otto Roos created a bust of Wackernagel. His estate, which has only been partially developed, is kept at the University Library of Basel .
His final resting place was in the Hörnli cemetery .
