Joachim-Friedrich Schulze (born September 19, 1924 in Cottbus ; † July 12, 2010 in Halle an der Saale ) was a German classical philologist .

Joachim-Friedrich Schulze passed his Abitur in 1942. He then did his Reich Labor Service and then took part in the Second World War as a soldier . He was taken prisoner by the Soviets and was released from this in 1945. He first became a textile worker and began a new teacher training course in 1946 and then became a new teacher for German, geography, biology and Latin. In 1949 Schulze passed the first teacher examination and began studying classical philology, pedagogy and psychology at the Brandenburg State University of Potsdam , in 1951 he moved to the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), where he gave up studying psychology. He passed the state examination in 1955 and became a lecturer for Latin and Greek at the Language Teaching Department of the MLU. From 1958 Schulze was initially a managing scientific assistant, from 1959 a senior assistant at the seminar, later at the Institute for Classical Philology and the Philology department of the Oriental and Classical Studies section of the MLU. The doctorate took place in 1961 with Werner Peek and Berthold Häsler with a thesis on the subject of the story of Hymnos and Nikaia in Nonnos' Dionysiaka (Book 15, 169-422) , the habilitation in 1970 on research on the erotic narratives in the Dionysiaka of Nonnos of Panopolis with the same reviewers. The facultas docendi was awarded to him in 1974. As a non-party member, he was denied a professorship, for which the university apologized after the fall of the Berlin Wall . In 1990 Schulze retired.

From 1955 Schulze worked on Werner Peek's project of a lexicon on the late antique poet Nonnos von Panopolis and headed the project during Peek's stay abroad. Schulze's doctorate and habilitation resulted from this work. He also researched medicine and the position of the doctor in antiquity. His special merit, however, lay in teacher training. Schulze was honorary chairman of the Saxony-Anhalt regional association of the German Classical Philology Association .
