Friedrich Eduard Schulz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Eduard Schulz (born July 12, 1799 in Darmstadt , † late 1829 near Başkale ) was a German philosopher and orientalist .

Life

Schulz studied at the universities of Gießen and Göttingen. During his studies he became a member of the Gießen Germanic Association (1815) Gießener Schwarzer , was a member of the honor mirror fraternity and the Göttingen fraternity . He received his doctorate and habilitation in Giessen and was appointed associate professor of philosophy in 1822. In 1823 he went to Paris to deepen his studies in the oriental languages . There he was one of the editors of the Journal Asiatique , in which he reviewed Wilhelm von Humboldt's 1824 lecture on letter writing, among other things .

In 1826 he traveled to Persia and Turkey. He deciphered the stone stelae in what was then the van and discovered the Bronze Age city ​​of Behura . His research marked the beginning of the exploration of Urartus .

During the years 1828/29 the researcher passed through Kurdistan and Armenia and discovered the " Kel-i-Schin-Stele " of the Urartian kings Menua and Išpuini . From Kel-i-Schin his way led to the Kurdish village of Başkale, where the local prince Nur Ullah Bey had him murdered. Schulz's undoing was the fact that he took notes during conversations with the villagers, thus fueling the suspicion that he was a spy for the Turks.
