Life

Engelsgrube 58, home of Heinrich Wohlert's parents

Wohlert came from a Lübeck merchant family. He was the second of four children and the eldest son of August Heinrich Peter Wohlert (1824–1900) and his wife Berta, b. Deecke (1834–1902), a daughter of Ernst Deecke , sister of Wilhelm Deecke and half-sister of Hermann Deecke . He spent his school days at the Katharineum in Lübeck until he graduated from high school in Easter 1881. In contrast to family tradition, he did not become a businessman, but studied philology, philosophy and history from 1881 to 1885 and 1887 to 1888, including at the University of Strasbourg . He belonged to Fanny zu Reventlow's circle of friends , his sister Käthe Wohlert (1870–1936) was her classmate at Roquette's private teachers' seminar .

On October 1, 1893, he joined the Lübeck City Library as a library assistant . At that time he was the only full-time research assistant in the library, along with the director Carl Curtius , who was still a professor at the Katharineum until 1903, and Theodor Hach , who had worked as a part-time library assistant since 1889 . Over the years he rose to become 1st librarian . With the succession of Curtius in 1919, however, the high school authorities decided in favor of the reformer and social democrat Willy Pieth . In 1923 he was promoted to senior librarian.

Wohlert's main work in 1911 was the publication of the 5th edition of the Lübische histories and sagas published by his grandfather Ernst Deecke in 1852 ; He provided the popular work for the first time with detailed references to sources and literature.

Wohlert was not married and lived with his sister at Viktoriastraße 12. He was buried in the Burgtorfriedhof . 82 works from his estate came to the city library.
