Life

Hermann Stadler, the son of the notary Erdmann Jakob Stadler (1825–1871), grew up in Neunburg vorm Wald and in Kelheim , where his father was transferred in 1867. After the death of his father in 1871 he attended the Royal Lyceum in Regensburg and studied in Munich at the Ludwig Maximilians University and at the Technical University of Classical Philology and Natural Sciences . In 1879 he was reciprocated in the Corps Makaria Munich . After the state examination in 1883, he taught at what was later to be the Descartes Gymnasium (Neuburg an der Donau) , where he was appointed teacher on August 16, 1888. At the same time he wrote his doctoral thesis on the Naturalis historia of Pliny the Elder with Wilhelm von Christ . In 1891 he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD .

He later moved to the grammar school in Bamberg , on December 13, 1898 to the royal humanistic grammar school in Freising , where he was appointed professor on January 1, 1899. On October 8, 1901, he went to the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich ; at the same time he worked from 1902 to 1912 as a private lecturer (later as honorary professor) for the history of descriptive natural sciences at the Technical University in Munich. In 1909, at an advanced age, Stadler was appointed vice principal at what would later become the Reuchlin Gymnasium (Ingolstadt) . A few years later (1912) he was appointed headmaster at the Kurfürst-Maximilian-Gymnasium in Burghausen . In 1916 he returned to the Royal Humanistic Gymnasium in Freising as senior director of studies , where he died after two strokes at the age of 60.

Stadler's scientific work focused on the Latin scientific writings of late antiquity and the Middle Ages . In an obituary praised Karl Sudhoff "embodied in his best knowledge of ancient and medieval biological science," Stadler in various special studies on the writings of Pedanius Dioscorides , pseudo Soranos , pseudo Macer and other demonstrated. He also used his knowledge of these writings for the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae , both through contributions to the archive for Latin lexicography and grammar (from 1894 to 1906) and through his excerpts for Zettelarchiv (Latin translations of the writings of Galenus and Dioskorides) and articles for the Volumes 2 and 3 (1906, 1909).

Stadler's great achievements include the studies of Albertus Magnus , whose importance as a biologist he fully explored and documented - especially in editions of Albert's writings De principiis motus processivi (1909) and De animalibus libri (1916–1920). Stadler also applied his extensive knowledge in contributions to Pauly's Realencyclopadie of Classical Classical Studies (from 1901). He was a member of the Geographical Society in Munich (from 1894), the Royal Botanical Society in Regensburg (from 1901) and the German Society for the History of Medicine and Natural Sciences , where he was also a board member and co-editor of the Archive for the History of Natural Sciences and Technology .
