Herbert Nesselhauf

Herbert Nesselhauf (born May 26, 1909 in Karlsruhe ; † January 2, 1995 in Essen ) was a German ancient historian and epigraphist .

Herbert Nesselhauf studied in Freiburg and Berlin and received his doctorate in 1932 under Walther Kolbe with a thesis on the subject of investigations into the history of Delisch-Attic symmachy . He then worked for the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum and in 1936 submitted a volume with Roman military diplomas. At an early age he came into conflict with the National Socialists, who initially banned him from doing a habilitation. In 1937, however, he received his habilitation with Lothar Wickert's work on The Late Roman Administration of the Gallic-Germanic Lands in Königsberg . In 1939 he was a scientific official and professor at the academy in Berlin. In 1942 Nesselhauf was appointed to the professorship for Ancient History at Kiel University as the successor to Paul L. Strack, who had fallen in the war, but was only able to accept the call in 1946 due to the war. As a combatant in the war, he was seriously wounded in 1943. In 1948 he moved to Freiburg, and in 1966 finally to the newly founded University of Konstanz , where he taught until his retirement in 1975. From 1968 to 1974 Nesselhauf was Vice President of the German Research Foundation . For a short time he was a member of the board of the Association for the History of Lake Constance and its surroundings . In 1975 he retired. Nesselhauf's pupils include Jochen Martin , Rainer Wiegels and Dieter Timpe .

Nesselhauf's main research areas were the Delisch-Attische Seebund , the collaboration on the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL) and the late Roman Empire , especially the area of ​​Roman-Germanic relations. He was a member of the German Academy of Sciences in Berlin (since 1960) and the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences (since 1964). In Freiburg he successfully set up a second chair in ancient history and a department for provincial Roman archeology .
