Life

After studying in Frankfurt / Main , Freiburg and Berlin, Hans-Friedrich Rosenfeld became a professor in Berlin in 1931.

For the years 1935 and 1936 he proposed the nationalist writer Erwin Guido Kolbenheyer , who was heavily supported by the National Socialists , for the Nobel Prize for Literature .

From 1948 to 1955, Rosenfeld was head of the Pomeranian Dictionary at the German Academy of Sciences . From 1955 he was a professor for (old) German studies at the University of Rostock , from 1956 back in Greifswald, where he first became director of the institute. There, on the initiative of SED officials, he was banned from teaching by the Faculty Council in 1958 because of his “bourgeois attitude”.

Rosenfeld then left the GDR ; his successor in Greifswald was Hans Jürgen Geerdts , who was sponsored by the party leadership . Rosenfeld took over a professorship in Munich. In 1967 he retired.
