Dieter Lohmann

Dieter Lohmann (born January 7, 1938 in Siegen ) is a German classical philologist with a focus on Homer and didactics and methodology of ancient languages.

Life

After graduating from the Wilhelm von Oranien-Gymnasium Dillenburg , Dieter Lohmann studied Latin and Greek at the universities of Marburg , Tübingen and Thessaloniki from 1958 , followed by another year in Greece (Alexandroupolis) as a teacher at the Goethe Institute; After the first state examination in Tübingen in 1965, he did his doctorate under Walter Jens on the speeches in the Iliad . Following the second state examination, the traineeship and the first apprenticeship at the List-Gymnasium Reutlingen followed. Lohmann then taught at the Uhland Gymnasium in Tübingen from 1969 until his retirement in 2002 ; since 1990 he has held a teaching position for subject didactics of ancient languages ​​at the University of Tübingen - from 2000 as honorary professor.

He developed the three-step method ("DSM"), which, in order to understand and translate ancient texts, only leaves the specified sequence of information in the source language when the laws of the target language require it; This approach found its concrete expression in the textbook of interest, which is essentially based on the didactic preparatory work of Lohmann.

Dieter Lohmann lives in Tübingen today.
