Life
Heinrich Wilhelm was born as the son of the bookseller and publisher Heinrich Wilhelm Hahn of the same name and attended school in Worms for a time. Hahn completed an apprenticeship as a bookseller and studied history with Arnold Heeren from 1814 to 1816 at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . He was a member of the Corps Hannovera Göttingen .
After several educational trips abroad, he joined the Hahnsche Hofbuchhandlung in Hanover in 1818 . The Leipzig business was managed by his younger brother Bernhard Heinrich Hahn until 1843 .
With the death of his father, Heinrich the Younger took over the royal bookstore in Hanover and the Leipzig business in 1843.
After Karl Goedeke moved to Hanover in 1842 , a close friendship began between the two men; - Goedeke published his first works in the Hahnschen Hofbuchhandlung.
Hahn further expanded the publishing bookstore and became the publisher of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica in 1826 through the mediation of his former fellow student Georg Heinrich Pertz in Göttingen . Among the numerous published scientific works, those of Leibniz stood out in terms of reputation. Pertz's successor in the Presidium of Monumenta Georg Waitz also published at Hahn and thus contributed to the focus of the publishing house on German medieval studies, which continues to this day .
On Heinrich Wilhelm Hahn the Elder In 1848 the idea of setting up a German national library went back to J. J. However, it was only realized long after his death with the establishment of the German library in Leipzig in 1912. Hahn's submission to set up an imperial library was accepted as a political demand by the President of the Frankfurt National Assembly Heinrich von Gagern in 1848 , but initially not implemented.
