Life

Hans Heinrich Brüning came to Peru as a marine engineer in 1875 , signed off there, earned his living with the maintenance and further development of agricultural machines and began touring the country and documenting the way of life of the local population through more than 2,000 photographs, the glass plates of which have been preserved. From his travels he came to deal with the pre-Hispanic cultures in northern Peru. In the vicinity of the village of Túcume he discovered the remains of the Lambayeque culture ( Pyramids of Túcume ). For several now extinct Indian languages, including Muchik , he created word lists. In Lambayeque , the Brüning Archaeological Museum ( Museo Arqueológico Nacional Hans Heinrich Brüning de Lambayeque , usually in short form: Museo Brüning ) is named after him. His extensive Peru collection, which was only made accessible in the 1970s, is part of the permanent exhibition at the Museum für Völkerkunde Hamburg .
