Career
Hübschmann studied in Jena , Tübingen , Leipzig and finally in Munich , where he received his doctorate in 1872 . During his studies he became a member of the Germania Jena fraternity in the winter semester of 1868/69 . His habilitation took place in Leipzig in 1875, where he was appointed full professor the following year . In 1877 he received offers from the universities in Graz and Strasbourg , from which he accepted the latter.

As a scientist, he was able to prove above all that Armenian is an independent language, the core of which he exposed by isolating loan word components.
