Friedrich Maier (classical philologist)
Friedrich Maier (born October 21, 1935 in Neunburg vorm Wald ) is a German classical philologist and a leading didactic specialist in ancient languages.

From 1993 to the winter semester 2000/2001 he was a full professor for the didactics of ancient languages at the Humboldt University in Berlin and played a decisive role in the reconstruction of the ancient languages in the new federal states. As long-time chairman of the German Classical Philology Association (1993-2001), he campaigned for the modernization of classical language teaching at a central point and with publicity.
His three-volume work " Latin Lessons Between Tradition and Progress " (1979) shaped the specialist discussion for decades.
