Ernst Julius Leichtlen
Ernst Julius Leichtlen (born March 4, 1791 in Emmendingen , † April 2, 1830 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a Baden historian and archivist .
Life
Leichtlen was the son of the senior secretary of Emmendingen, Christoph Magnus Leichtlin, who later became general registrar at the Baden Ministry of Finance in Karlsruhe. Julius Leichtlen attended grammar school in Karlsruhe and then took up a position in the administration of the Gottesaue domain , while also writing a chronicle of the Benedictine abbey Gottesaue, which was published in 1810. His historical interest motivated him to change his job and to devote himself to archival and history studies , which he studied for three years at the universities of Heidelberg and Göttingen . During his studies, Leichtlen also published on historical topics. In 1815 he got a position at the General State Archives in Karlsruhe and in 1817 he switched to the Provincial Archives in Freiburg as archive registrar. Here he became archivist in 1819 and took over the management of the provincial archives. He held this position until his death.
Leichtlen was a founding member of the Society for the Promotion of History in Freiburg in 1826 .
Leichtlen died in 1830 a few months after his wedding. Posthumously , Karl Zell published Leichtlen on the Zähringer , with the printing being financed by Grand Duke Leopold of Baden .

From 1818 to 1825 some of his historical works appeared in the series Research in the Fields of History, Antiquity, Linguistics and Literature in Germany. In addition to historical works, he also wrote three guides in his series of non-profit art books and a textbook on shorthand . An incomplete directory of his works can be found on Wikisource. He also published a number of articles in the supplement to the Freiburger Zeitung .
