Hans Philipp (full name Hans Hugo Rudolf Philipp , born December 23, 1884 in Berlin , † February 17, 1968 in Schondorf am Ammersee ) was a German geography historian .

Hans Philipp, the son of the factory owner Rudolf Philipp, attended the Kölln high school and after graduating (September 11, 1906) studied history, classical philology and geography at the Berlin University . He was most influenced by the geography historian Wilhelm Sieglin , who headed the seminar for historical geography since 1899. Philipp already worked as an executive assistant at the seminar during his studies. In the summer semester of 1911 he was given leave to complete a major scientific work. After his doctorate as Dr. phil. on December 20, 1911, on February 4, 1913, Philipp took the teaching exams in Latin, Greek and history. After the seminar year at the Steglitz grammar school (from Easter 1913) and the probationary year at the Köllnisches grammar school (from Easter 1914), Philipp was employed on April 1, 1915 as a scientific assistant teacher at the Steglitz grammar school. At the First World War, he did not participate. On April 1, 1918, Philipp was permanently employed as a senior teacher at the Steglitz grammar school. He was later appointed to the teaching position.

After the end of the Second World War , Hans Philipp moved to Schondorf am Ammersee , where he taught at the Landschulheim for several years.

In addition to his school service, Philipp was also scientifically active. As an expert in ancient geography, he revised several historical maps by Heinrich Kiepert and wrote numerous articles for the real encyclopedia of classical antiquity (RE). For the school he created source collections and presentations. His focus was the Germania of Tacitus .
