Heinrich Abermann
Heinrich Abermann (born September 19, 1583 in Tuttlingen , Württemberg , † April 21, 1621 in Vienna ) was a German historian.
Heinrich Abermann studied at the University of Vienna in 1609 , where he became professor of the Greek language in 1610. In 1613 he was Master of Philosophy, in 1614 Rector of the University and from 1615 to 1621 Rector of the St. Stephen's School, where he taught mathematics. He had been married to Ursula, Michael Schrömbser's widow, since 1614.
In addition to his work as rector of the university, Abermann's particular importance lies in the fact that he published the German translation of Wolfgang Lazius' Vienna Austriae in 1616 and 1619 . This is the first city history of Vienna in German.
Heinrich Abermann was awarded the title of nobility on February 28, 1620. In 1894 Abermanngasse in the Hetzendorf district in Vienna- Meidling was named after him.
