Wolfgang Stammler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Stammler (born October 5, 1886 in Halle (Saale) ; † August 3, 1965 in Hösbach , district of Aschaffenburg ) was a German philologist and literary historian .

Life

Wolfgang Stammler's father was the German legal philosopher Rudolf Stammler .

In 1908 he received his doctorate from the University of Halle and in 1911 became a senior teacher at the Leibniz School in Hanover . In 1914 he became a private lecturer for German language and literature at the Technical University of Hanover . At the First World War Stammler took part as an aviator. In 1918, Wolfgang Stammler was a professor at the University of Dorpat (now Tartu ), and from 1924 to 1936 at the University of Greifswald . He was involved in the book burning in Greifswald on May 10, 1933 . On October 15, 1933, Stammler joined the Navy SA as a Rottenführer. In 1936 he was forcibly retired. Utz Maas took the assumption that he had been "politically disciplined" (1996). Joachim Lerchenmüller and Gerd Simon (2009) contradicted such a view. That is "clearly wrong". The explanation lies rather in the “hopeless indebtedness due to an addiction”, in which his doctoral student Manfred Pechau was included as a lender. During the Second World War he was employed in the Air Force in the press and propaganda department in Norway.

When he retired, Stammler lived as a private scholar in Berlin, and from 1948 in Hösbach . From 1951 to 1957 he was a professor in Freiburg im Üechtland . He published mainly on literature from the Middle Ages and modern times . Throughout the time after the collapse of National Socialism and from his Swiss chair, he saw his subject with a völkisch tongue as the “science of the intellectual life of the German people”.

He was a member of the RSC-Corps Holsatia Berlin, Brunsviga, Marchia Greifswald (Honorary AH ), Franco-Guestphalia and SV Die Rodensteiner .
