Georg Heinrich Lünemann

Georg Heinrich Lünemann (born September 3, 1780 in Göttingen , † January 8, 1830 ibid) was a German classical philologist and lexicographer .

Life

Lünemann attended high school in Göttingen, where he was a student of Georg Friedrich Grotefends , who had worked there as a collaborator since 1797 . From 1799 to 1802 Lünemann studied at the University of Göttingen. When Grotefend switched to the grammar school in Frankfurt am Main, Lünemann was his successor at the Göttingen grammar school in September 1803 as a teacher of Greek and Latin. At that time the grammar school was reorganized under the new director Johann Friedrich Adolph Kirsten. In 1806 Lünemann submitted his dissertation. In 1813 he followed Ernst Karl Friedrich Wunderlich in the position of second teacher (Rector) of the grammar school.

After the death of Immanuel Johann Gerhard Scheller, Lünemann was the editor of Scheller's Latin dictionaries and published various editions of Latin classics for school use. He belonged to the Göttingen Freemason Lodge "Augusta to the Golden Circle".

His younger brother Johann Heinrich Christian Lünemann (1787–1827) was also a classical philologist and published dictionaries on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey , among other things .
