from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Wilhelm Grauert (born March 25, 1804 in Amsterdam , † January 10, 1852 in Vienna ) was a German historian and classical philologist .

Life

Heinrich Wilhelm Grauert, the son of a businessman from Osnabrück, grew up in Münster and from 1821 studied philology and history at the young University of Bonn , where he received his doctorate in 1825 and qualified as a professor in 1826 . In addition to the conductors of the philological seminar Karl Friedrich Heinrich and August Ferdinand Naeke particularly influenced him the historian Barthold Georg Niebuhr , who also influenced his career crucial: He made Grauert first to tutor his son Marcus and gave him in 1827 as an associate professor of history and the Classical studies at the academy in Münster (later the university). Grauert held historical and philological lectures in Münster. In 1836 he was appointed full professor.

Grauert's lectures, his historical lectures and especially his publications gave him a reputation that extended beyond the borders of Westphalia. So he seemed to the University of Vienna the right candidate for the leadership of the newly founded historical seminar. In 1850 Grauert accepted the call to professor of history and head of the seminar, whose statutes he laid down based on the model of the Münster seminar. After only a short period of activity, Grauert died on January 10, 1852.
