Jakob Jatzwauk

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jakob Jatzwauk (Sorbian Jakub Wjacławk ; born February 15, 1885 in Horka near Kamenz, † September 3, 1951 in Bautzen ) was a Sorbian librarian and Slavist .

Life

Jatzwauk studied in Prague and Leipzig and received his doctorate in 1912 with "The population and financial situation of the city of Bautzen at the beginning of the 15th century".

From 1913 he worked as a librarian at the Royal Public Library in Dresden . After the departure of Rudolf Bemmann , whose successor he became, he collected around 22,000 titles on Saxon regional history in unpaid additional work between 1918 and 1930 . He made this available to the Commission for Saxon History and thus ensured the continuation of the bibliography of Saxon history , which follows Benjamin Gottfried Weinart's attempt at a literature on Saxon history and civics as a standard work .

In 1945 Jatzwauk took over the management of the city ​​libraries (public library, city library and Gersdorf library) in Bautzen and organized their amalgamation. From 1949 on, he headed the Saxon regional branch archive for Upper Lusatia . In 1952 the second edition of the "Sorbian Bibliography" appeared; this contained 7580 titles and covered the entire Sorbian literature. The first edition of this bibliography appeared in 1929 under the title "Wendische Bibliographie".
