Friedrich Bock (historian)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Bock (* 1890 ; † October 10, 1963 in Uelzen ) was a German historian .

Life

From 1929 to 1933 Bock was head of the advanced high school in Falkensee near Berlin and employee of the Constitutiones department of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (MGH). Until his death he worked on the edition of the rulers' files of Ludwig of Bavaria . His other research areas were Edward III. of England and in later years the history of his hometown Uelzen . He was considered a fanatical National Socialist.

1933–1945 he was the second secretary of the German Historical Institute in Rome , which in 1935 was attached to the " Reich Institute for Older German History ". In July 1937 he gave a lecture at the Historikertag in Erfurt , which was dedicated to the synchronization of research in the Third Reich. With the President of the Reich Institute Edmund Ernst Stengel (President 1937–1942), Bock clashed several times over organizational issues. The dispute reached its climax in 1941 and intensified because Stengel was pursuing a competing edition project on the conflict between Ludwig the Bavarian and the curia. Bock was supported by the former MGH President Paul Fridolin Kehr . In 1942, Bock tried to reorganize the German Historical Institute. In autumn 1943 he was assigned to the so-called "Art, Archive and Library Protection" within the framework of the German military administration in Italy and organized the transport of Italian archival documents and art objects across the Alps. Since he was classified as incriminated in the denazification process, he was banned from working and worked as a private scholar from 1945 to 1963. He fell out with the MGH reorganized by Friedrich Baethgen . Among other things, he planned an extensive biography of Paul Fridolin Kehr and a history of the city of Uelzen. His scientific legacy is in the archive of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica.
