Johannes Roediger
Johannes Roediger (born October 15, 1845 in Halle (Saale) , † December 29, 1930 ) was a German librarian .
Life
Roediger was the son of the orientalist Emil Roediger . He attended secondary school in Halle, then from 1860 to 1864 the Werdersche Gymnasium in Berlin . He then studied oriental and classical philology in Berlin, Leipzig and Halle aS, where he received his doctorate in 1869.
In 1870 he went to the Leipzig University Library as an assistant. In 1872 he became curator of the Royal University Library in Breslau and in 1876 he was made head of the Royal and University Library in Königsberg . In Königsberg, Roediger resisted building an extension and pushed for a new building for the library. The library did not receive such a new building until 1901, 14 years after Roediger's departure from Königsberg.
In 1887 he was transferred to the Marburg University Library as director , which he directed until 1920. In Marburg, he succeeded Carl Julius Caesar , a professor of classical philology who had only run the library on a part-time basis. In 1888 Roediger applied for a new building for the university library in a memorandum, which bore his signature down to the last detail.
