Jürgen Bolland (born January 8, 1922 in Hamburg , † December 1, 1974 in Hamburg) was a German archivist and historian .

Jürgen Bolland was the son of the teacher Gustav Bolland and his wife Maria Paula, née Gaerner. Bolland graduated from the Johanneum in Hamburg in 1940 . Since 1935 he belonged to the Hitler Youth . In 1941 Bolland joined the National Socialist Student Union . In the same year he joined the Wehrmacht and, after a short training period, was sent to the Eastern Front in 1942 . In February 1944, Bolland was released as a war disabled man because of a hand wound . During the war he studied history, Latin and German at the University of Hamburg . In the winter semester of 1942/1943 he became a member of the Tübingen fraternity Derendingia . In 1945, before the end of the Second World War, he received his doctorate in Tübingen with the thesis The Courtly Environment of King Ottokar II . In January 1947, Bolland passed the state examination for higher education at the University of Hamburg .

Due to his activity of copying manuscripts of medieval Burspraken in Low German , Bolland received an unpaid position as a research assistant at the State Archives of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg until 1949 . In the year mentioned he was appointed archivist there. In 1960, as senior archivist, he succeeded the retired Erich von Lehe as archives director. As early as 1937, Bolland had become a member of the Association for Hamburg History . In 1957 he became its chairman. The almost two decades of preoccupation with the Burspraken culminated in a source edition in 1960 . As a historian, Bolland was particularly concerned with the history of Hamburg. One of his main themes was the participation of the citizens in the city regiment.

At the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg there is a tombstone for Jürgen Bolland at grid square R 16 (east of the Ringstrasse north of Cordesallee ).
