Gottfried Primisser

Gottfried Primisser (born October 8, 1785 in Innsbruck , † September 26, 1812 in Munich ) was a historian and archivist from Tyrol .

Life

Primisser, son of the poet and archivist Johann Friedrich Primisser , came from the South Tyrolean Primisser family , attended the University of Innsbruck and was awarded the Dr. iur. His real interest, however, was history. After his first publications, the Bavarian government became aware of him and sent him at their own expense to the University of Heidelberg and the University of Göttingen , where he was allowed to study history until 1812. His academic teacher was Arnold Heeren in Göttingen .

Primisser returned from Göttingen in 1812 and on May 27, 1812 was appointed adjunct at the newly founded Reich Archives in Munich . Shortly after he took up the job, he fell ill with an intestinal disease from which he died a short time later. He was buried in his hometown of Innsbruck.
