Ludwig Friedländer

Ludwig Heinrich Friedländer (born July 16, 1824 in Königsberg (Prussia) , † December 16, 1909 in Strasbourg ) was a German classical philologist and cultural historian .

Life

Friedländer was the son of the dealer Hirsch Friedländer (1791–1871) and Emma Levia Perlbach (1801–1863). He was raised Jewish, but later converted to Protestantism. In 1856 he married Laura Gutzeit. Friedländer studied at the Universities of Königsberg , Leipzig and Berlin and completed his habilitation in Königsberg in 1847 with a thesis on Greek grave reliefs for classical philology. In 1856 he became associate professor, and in 1858 full professor of classical philology in Königsberg. He taught archeology there at the same time . After his retirement he moved to Strasbourg in 1892 . In 1865/66 and 1874/5 he was rector of the Albertina . Since 1883 he was a foreign member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences . In 1900 he was accepted as a corresponding member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences .

After working on Greek culture and a one-year trip to Italy (1853/54) Friedländer turned to his main work, the depictions of the moral history of Rome in the period from August to the end of the Antonine (first published 1862–1871), a very detailed and comprehensive one Presentation of the cultural history of the Roman Empire in the first two centuries after Christianity. To this day it is regarded as a standard scientific work for private life in ancient Rome. It saw numerous editions (later edited by Georg Wissowa ) and reprints. Friedländer also published annotated editions of the ancient poets Juvenal , Martial and Petronius .

His son Paul became an important chemist, the press illustrator Lieselotte Friedlaender was his granddaughter, the art historian Georg Dehio his son-in-law.
