Franz Winiewski (born October 8, 1802 in Thorn , † June 4, 1874 in Münster in Westphalia ) was a German classical philologist .

After graduating from the Gymnasium zu Thorn , Winiewski studied classical philology at Berlin University from 1821 to 1824 , where he was influenced by August Boeckh and Friedrich August Wolf . He then took up the preparatory service for teaching at grammar schools and taught at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Gymnasium until he was appointed private lecturer for philology and history at the Theological and Pedagogical Academy in Münster in 1825 . Here he joined the Pedagogical Examination Commission in 1834, of which he was a member until 1871.

Due to his teaching and research work Winiewski was appointed associate professor and librarian at the Pauline Library in 1829 . After completing his doctorate in Giessen in 1838 , he was appointed full professor in the same year, and in 1853 he was made second director of the Philological Seminary. After the death of the first director of the seminar, Ferdinand Deycks (1867), Winiewski was appointed his successor in 1868. As early as 1855 he had received the Order of the Red Eagle, IV class , in 1864 he was appointed Privy Councilor and in 1867 Chief Librarian.

In addition to his work in the academy and the examination committee, Winiewski was a member of the city council from 1849 (from 1867 as head) and from 1851 the board of trustees of the secondary school and the provincial trade school. As a researcher, Winiewski stood out particularly through a commentary on Demosthenes' wreath speech (1829) and through a list of the program treatises of the Prussian grammar schools (1844).
