Ernst Christian von Walz
Ernst Christian Walz , from 1853 von Walz , (born February 28, 1802 in Münklingen , † April 5, 1857 in Tübingen ) was a German classical philologist and archaeologist .
Life
Christian Walz was a son of pastor David Friedrich Walz. After attending the Latin school in Nürtingen , he passed the state examination. From 1815 to 1819 he was a pupil at the theological seminaries in Schöntal and Maulbronn , then from 1819 to 1823 he studied theology at the Tübingen monastery . After working as a repetiteur at the lower seminary in Urach from 1823 to 1825 and at the monastery in Tübingen from 1825 to 1827, in July 1827 he embarked on a three-year trip, the costs of which he paid himself. This journey has become decisive for his scientific direction. In 1831 he returned to Tübingen and taught again as a tutor at the monastery.
In 1832 he became an associate professor, in 1834 he was given a full professorship for classical philology at the University of Tübingen and became head of the archaeological collection of the philological seminar. In 1845, after the death of August Friedrich Paulys, he and Wilhelm Siegmund Teuffel edited the real encyclopedia of classical antiquity . Walz and Teuffel recruited numerous new employees for the project, so that it was completed in 1852. Walz fell seriously ill in 1847 and was only able to continue his work to a very limited extent. In 1853 he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of the Württemberg Crown excellent, which with the personal title of nobility ( ennoblement was connected).
Walz was particularly concerned with the writings of the classical Greek historians. His largest independent company, however, was the edition of the Rhetores Graeci , which appeared in nine volumes from 1832 to 1836. The collection was last reprinted in 1968.
Since 1839 Christian von Walz was married to Marie Feuerlein (born June 26, 1812 in Stuttgart, † July 14, 1897 in Tübingen), a daughter of Stuttgart's Lord Mayor Willibald Feuerlein . The marriage resulted in three daughters and one son.
