His siblings were the later director of the sanatorium Schloss Sonnenstein , Professor Georg Ilberg (1862-1942) and Elisabeth Ilberg, wife of the consistorial councilor and superintendent Lothar Zechlin (1860-1935).

Career and performance

Ilberg was under the directorate of his father at the grammar school in Zwickau (1870-1871), the prince school St. Afra (1873-1874) and the royal grammar school in Dresden-Neustadt (1874-1879). From 1879 to 1884 he studied classical philology, German , classical archeology , history and philosophy at the universities in Leipzig , Bonn and Berlin . In particular, his teacher Hermann Usener in Bonn encouraged him to study the works of ancient physicians, whose manuscripts Ilberg thoroughly researched. His doctorate under Otto Ribbeck on the transmission of the Corpus Hippocraticum and the state examination took place in Leipzig in 1883.

In spite of his scientific research and the close ties with the leading scholars of his time, Ilberg continued to strive to combine science and high school education. Following the example of his father, he embarked on an educational career. In 1884 he became a non-permanent teacher at the Royal High School in Dresden-Neustadt . From 1884 to 1887 he worked as a permanent teacher at the Vitzthumschen Gymnasium in Dresden and then switched to the König-Albert-Gymnasium in Leipzig. In 1903 he was awarded the title of professor . From 1910 to 1914 he was rector of the high school in Wurzen and then in the same position at the high school in Chemnitz . From 1916 until his retirement in 1924, Ilberg was rector of the Königin-Carola-Gymnasium in Leipzig. In 1917 he became senior teacher here , and in 1919 senior director .

His philological research led him to participate in the Corpus Medicorum Graecorum founded by Hermann Diels . He wrote numerous articles for Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher's Detailed Lexicon of Greek and Roman Mythology and published reviews in the Berliner Philologische Wochenschrift , which were distinguished by their clarity and meticulousness . In addition, he wrote essays for scientific journals and compilations as well as for the reports of the Prussian and Saxon Academy of Sciences . Since 1897 was Ilberg editor and 1914-1929 editor of the Teubner-Verlag published periodical New Year Books for classical antiquity, history and German literature , which from 1925 under the title New Year Books for Science and Youth Education published and often short Ilbergs yearbooks were called .
