Heinrich Handelmann

Gottfried Heinrich Handelmann (born August 9, 1827 in Altona , † April 26, 1891 in Kiel ) was a German historian.

Live and act

Heinrich Handelmann was born in the Duchy of Holstein , then ruled by the King of Denmark, and was a student at the Christianeum in Altona from 1841 to 1847 . From 1847 to 1853 he studied philology and history in Heidelberg, Kiel, Berlin and Göttingen. From 1848 to 1850 he took an active part in the uprising of the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein against the Danish king, who planned to convert the personal union of the duchies with Denmark into a real union, i.e. to integrate them de facto Denmark. Even after that he was one of the leaders of the German party, that is to say, those forces who fought for the duchies to belong to Germany.

In 1866, after the German-Danish War , he was appointed curator of the Museum of Patriotic Antiquities in Kiel and Professor of History at Kiel University.
