Life

Hans Gossen was the son of the post office clerk German Friedrich Cäsar Gossen († 1894) and Elisabeth born. Hanisch. His father worked as a secret registrar in the Reich Telegraph Office, where, among other things, he worked on improving the telephone . His son Hans Gossen attended the grammar school in Groß-Lichterfelde from 1890, passed his school-leaving examination there on March 4, 1902 and then studied classical philology at the Berlin University , where he was particularly influenced by Hermann Diels and Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff . Gossen completed his studies in 1907 with a doctorate as Dr. phil. (February 2; Rigorosum on December 6, 1906) and the state examination for the higher teaching post (July 2). In his dissertation he examined the pseudo-galenic font De pulsuum differentiis . With the state examination he received the qualification to teach Greek and Latin for all classes as well as for French up to the second level.

Then he entered the Prussian school service. From October 1, 1907, he completed the seminar year at the Royal Wilhelms-Gymnasium and from October 1, 1908 the probationary year at the Realgymnasium in Charlottenburg and (from April 1, 1909) at the Kaiser-Friedrichs-Realgymnasium in Rixdorf . There he was employed as an assistant teacher on October 1, 1909. Two years later he moved in the same capacity to the Realgymnasium in Schwiebus and from there on October 1, 1912 to the Realgymnasium in Cottbus , where he was appointed senior teacher on April 1, 1913. During the First World War he was a member of the Landsturm .

After the end of the war, Gossen returned to Berlin on April 1, 1919 and taught Latin, Greek, French and natural sciences at the Prinz-Heinrichs-Gymnasium there . From there he switched to the Goethe Gymnasium in Hanover on April 1, 1928 . He was retired on April 1, 1935, well before the legal age limit. He lived again in Berlin, where he had received a teaching position for the history of ancient medicine and natural sciences from the winter semester 1935/36 to 1944 .

In addition to teaching, Gossen was always scientifically active. He continued his medical history studies, worked on the Corpus Hellenisticum Novi Testamenti research project from 1926 and was a member of the History of Science Society from 1927 . He has published articles in various scientific organs (for example in Urania , the Ciba magazine and the sources and studies on the history of natural sciences and medicine ) as well as numerous scientific articles for Pauly's Real Encyclopedia of Classical Antiquity (RE).

Hans Gossen was married and had three children. After his death in 1955, his widow gave his scientific estate to the Institute for the History of Medicine , which passed it on to the CMG working group of the German Academy of Sciences in Berlin .
