Liselot Huchthausen

Liselot Minna Christel Huchthausen (born June 5, 1927 in Rostock ; † March 5, 2020 ) was a German classical philologist , university professor and ancient historian .

Live and act

Liselot Huchthausen was born as the daughter of the Rostock factory owner Theodor Huchthausen and his wife Anneliese, b. Angel, born. In 1944 she passed her high school diploma and did her job. In the heavy bombing raids on Rostock in April 1944, which she did not see herself, she lost her father. After the end of the war, she attended a course for new teachers and was a teacher at various Rostock schools for several years. From 1952 to 1956 she studied history and Latin at the University of Rostock . She passed the state examination in 1956.

This was followed by a doctoral degree and an additional degree in English . Between 1956 and 1959 she was a scheduled academic aspirant at the Institute for Classical Philology. Her dissertation from June 1959 was entitled Boarding School Plans and Boarding School Trials in the Great Bourgeois Revolution in France 1789-1802 . Between 1959 and 1965, Huchthausen taught the methodology of English and Latin teaching at the University of Rostock as a senior research assistant. In June 1965 she presented her habilitation with investigations into the verb stock in the canon of Latin school writers and from then on taught as a university lecturer in classical philology and, from 1968, also ancient history at the history section in Rostock. In 1973 she also acquired the Facultas docendi for Ancient History and has been teaching this subject in a responsible position since then, because there was temporarily no teacher training in ancient languages ​​in Rostock.

In 1976 Huchthausen became deputy director for education and training at the history section. From 1977 - in that year she also joined the SED - until 1987, she was an indirect successor to Walther Kolbe and Ernst Hohl as an extraordinary professor for methodology of foreign language teaching and ancient history, and also held a chair for ancient history. In 1987 Huchthausen retired, but continued to teach until 1990.

Huchthausen stood out primarily as the editor and translator of Ovid , Cicero and Roman legal sources, but also with studies on the history of women during the Roman Empire . She co-wrote the school textbook for Latin in the GDR. Six autobiographical books were published between 1994 and 2010, describing her life from the beginning to 2007. In the press she wrote articles in Low German on general questions of life as Berta Footh .
