Franz Winter (archaeologist)
Franz Winter (born February 4, 1861 in Braunschweig , † February 11, 1930 in Bonn ) was a German classical archaeologist .
Franz Winter studied classical studies in Vienna and Munich , but initially switched to studying philology at the University of Bonn and attended the seminars of Reinhard Kekulé von Stradonitz , with whose family he also entered into a personal relationship. In 1885 he received his doctorate with Franz Bücheler with the philological thesis De Plauti fabularum deperditarum fragmentis .
After completing his doctorate, Winter turned completely to archeology. Through his work on The Younger Attic Vases and their Relationship to Art , published in 1885, he received a travel grant from the German Archaeological Institute from 1886 to 1888 . In 1889, at the suggestion of Kekulé, he was commissioned by the central management of the German Archaeological Institute to edit the type catalog for the corpus of ancient terracottas . To this day it is the authoritative work on terracotta research.
In 1890 Kekulé brought him to the Royal Museums in Berlin . In 1894, Winter completed his habilitation in Berlin, where he also performed numerous teaching assignments from 1897. In 1899 he was appointed full professor at the University of Innsbruck , in 1905 in Graz , in 1907 in Strasbourg , and in 1912 he returned to Bonn as Georg Loeschcke's successor , where he taught until 1928.
