Bernhard Rehm

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard Rehm (born February 19, 1909 in Munich ; † July 14, 1942 near Voronezh ) was a German classical philologist .

life and work

Rehm was the son of the classical philologist and educator Albert Rehm . After graduating from the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich in 1927, he passed the entrance exam for the Maximilianeum , but then renounced the admission. At Munich University he studied with Eduard Schwartz , Rudolf Pfeiffer , Johannes Stroux , Ferdinand Sommer , August Heisenberg and Paul Lehmann . In 1928 in Göttingen he heard Richard Reitzenstein and in Berlin 1929–1930 Werner Jaeger , Eduard Norden , Wilhelm Schulze and Ulrich Wilcken . In 1931 he passed the teaching examination in ancient languages, German and history and received his doctorate in the same year. After receiving his doctorate in 1931 , he worked briefly at the school with Johannes Stroux on a subject from Virgil , but switched to the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae in 1933 , of which he became general editor on September 5, 1936. In the nine years of activity, in addition to his duties as an editor, he printed around 400 columns of the lexicon (including the article "ex" with 49 columns).

In addition to his lexical work, Bernhard Rehm dealt with a completely different topic. At the suggestion of Eduard Schwartz, he devoted himself to the early Christian texts for his habilitation in 1939, which were ascribed to Pope Clement I , the third successor of the Apostle Peter . First he clarified the tradition, then he prepared an edition of the so-called pseudo-clementines for the corpus “ The Greek Christian Writers ” . This was as good as ready for printing when he died, but could only appear after the war.

Little is known of his life and other plans. As part of the publication of the father's diaries, Richard Schumak also shared some information about his son. Attached is the address that Rehm's successor as editor-in-chief, Hans Rubenbauer , gave on October 6, 1942 in the library of the thesaurus in memory of his predecessor. A portrait photo is also included.

Bernhard Rehm was killed in World War II in 1942 .
