Life
He was the son of the landowner Erich von Schultz (1856–1932), including 1892 goods inspector of the city goods of Riga , and his wife Valerie von Moczulski from Lithuania . First, Schultz attended the German von Eltz'sche private grammar school in Riga and in 1904 passed the school leaving examination at the local Alexander grammar school. In 1906 Schultz came to Berlin to the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität (today Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ) in order to continue the studies he had begun in Moscow and Dorpat in 1904 . During the holidays in the years 1901–1904 study trips to the Caucasus and Russian Central Asia took place. Due to the unrest of 1905, studies at the University of Dorpat were interrupted, and von Schultz went on a six-month study trip to Central Asia. After returning from this trip, von Schultz went to the University of Gießen , where he devoted himself to studying geography with Wilhelm Sievers . After another trip to the Pamir in 1909 , he received his doctorate in Gießen in 1914 on the Pamir Tajiks .
As a war geologist, von Schultz published an image atlas about Poland in 1918 . After the First World War he went to the new University of Hamburg as a private lecturer in geography (Siegfried Passarge). In 1923 he was appointed to succeed Prof. Friedrichsen at the Albertus University in Königsberg .
Schultz made extensive trips to Asia and was considered one of the best German experts on Russia of his time. He was a member of the board of trustees of the Johann Gottfried von Herder Prize .
Schultz married Hella Fanny Gertrud Suhr on April 4, 1914 in Grünstelde near Stuhm (West Prussia) (* April 24, 1893 in Grünstelde; † September 2, 1952 in Düsseldorf-Benrath).
