Friedrich Leitschuh

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Leitschuh (born April 4, 1837 in Münnerstadt , † December 13, 1898 in Bamberg ) was a German librarian, manuscript researcher and regional historian.

Life

The son of the Munich school rector Johann Alois Leitschuh first studied theology in Würzburg, Erlangen and Munich, then switched to philology and history and received his doctorate in 1862. After working at the University Library of Würzburg , he was appointed director of the Bamberg Royal Library in 1874. In addition to the systematic listing of the printed matter and the indexing of the Joseph Hellers graphic collection , the catalog of the Bamberg manuscripts, which his assistant and successor Hans Fischer was able to complete in 1912 and from which Fridolin Dreßler obtained a slightly improved reprint, is still an indispensable key to this international one well-known inventory, the core of which goes back to the foundations of Heinrich II .

His estate is in the Bamberg State Library.

The " Leitschuh-Ruh ", a viewing platform near the Bamberg Altenburg, is named after him.

His son Franz Friedrich (1865–1924) was professor of art history at the University of Freiburg im Üechtland , his grandson Max (1889–1976) director of the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich .
