from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur Willibald Hübner (born September 17, 1885 in Neudamm , Königsberg district in the Neumark , † March 9, 1937 in Berlin ) was a German professor and German studies professor.

Life

Hübner studied German and Classical Philology from 1904 to 1909 at the Universities of Graz and Berlin . In 1910 he did his doctorate in Berlin with Gustav Roethe as Dr. phil. , The habilitation took place in 1913 at the Germanic seminar in Berlin. Huebner then worked there as a private lecturer until he was called up for World War I in 1915 , in which he was injured several times and buried once.

After the First World War, Hübner became an associate professor for German studies in Berlin in 1918, and in 1924 he was appointed professor for ancient German studies in Münster , where he also gave lectures on folklore . From 1927 onwards, Huebner was Roethes' successor, full professor of German philology at the University of Berlin, and from 1932 a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences there . In 1925 Hübner was elected a full member of the Historical Commission for Westphalia , from which he resigned in 1927. During the time of National Socialism , Hübner opposed Herman Wirth, who was supported by the SS, and finally unmasked the Ura Linda Chronicle, which Wirth had declared to be genuine, as a forgery. However, Huebner himself was also a strong advocate of the Nazi system and its ideological-political goals.
