life and work

Koschwitz received his doctorate in 1875 in Breslau under Gustav Gröber on the old French Charles trip and was a high school teacher for two years . In 1877 he completed his habilitation with Eduard Böhmer in Strasbourg , where he was a private lecturer, and in 1880 he was appointed full professor of Romance philology in Greifswald , where he was rector in 1894/95 . In 1896 he went to Marburg as the successor to Edmund Max Stengel (who became his successor in Greifswald) . In the same year he became a member of the Marburg Burschenschaft Rheinfranken . In 1901 he moved to the Albertus University in Königsberg .

Koschwitz's particular merit lay in the pioneering phonetic and morphological description of the French language of his time (partly in collaboration with the French phonetician Abbé Jean Rousselot ) and in the scientific attention to the New Provençal, whose poet Frédéric Mistral he knew personally. He was committed to the practical relevance of the course, both in the linguistic and in the literary component (inclusion of newer literature). From 1879 he was the editor of the magazine for New French language and literature with special attention to the teaching of French in German schools (from 1889 Z. f. French language and literature ). In Marburg, in 1896, he launched the university vacation courses, international advanced training courses for teachers of modern language school subjects. In 1902 he founded the magazine for French and English teaching .
