Artur Brabant

Artur Brabant's grave in the Loschwitz cemetery

Ernst Artur Brabant (born January 16, 1870 in Döbeln , † April 28, 1936 in Dresden ) was a German archivist and historian who published the series Geschichtliche Wanderfahrten in the 1930s and worked as a senior state archivist in Dresden. His grave is in the Loschwitz cemetery .

His works also include the publication of Otto Richter’s memoirs , which are particularly interesting in relation to his studies in Leipzig. We owe Brabant an important source not about Richter himself, but also about the teaching activities at the University of Leipzig in the second half of the 19th century. Richter had a lot to say about the professor of historical auxiliary sciences Heinrich Wuttke . This work also contains remarks on Georg Voigt , Hermann Langer and Wilhelm Roscher .
