Life

Until the end of the Second World War

Studied in Strasbourg and Göttingen

Johannes Stroux was the son of the grammar school professor for mathematics Heinrich Stroux and his wife Maria Franziska Stroux nee Faber. From 1904 to 1909 he studied classical philology and history at the University of Strasbourg and at the University of Göttingen . His academic teachers included in particular Bruno Keil for epigraphy , Richard Reitzenstein for late antiquity and religious syncretism , Jacob Wackernagel for the linguistic consideration of ancient languages and old Italian dialects , Eduard Schwartz for methodical treatment of texts, and Friedrich Leo for the development of Roman literature . From 1909 he first worked as a high school teacher in his native Haguenau and at the Lyceum in Strasbourg. In 1911 he received his doctorate with his thesis De Theophrasti Virtutibus Dicendi on the influence of the theories of Theophrastus on Cicero's theory of rhetoric. In 1911/1912 he went on a one-year study trip with Werner Jaeger to do handwritten research in libraries in Italy , France and England , from which his writing on sources on Ciceros de oratore resulted.

Professor in Strasbourg, Basel, Kiel, Jena and Munich

Stroux became a professor in Basel: invitation to the public inaugural lecture in 1916 on the subject of the independence of Roman literature

He then worked as a private lecturer in Strasbourg for one semester in 1914 , after receiving his doctorate there in 1911 and habilitation in 1914 . In the same year he became an associate professor and, in 1917, a full professor of classical philology at the University of Basel . In Basel he was a co-founder of the adult education center , headed the university's book distribution and was vice-president of the “Swiss relief organization for German academics prisoner of war” from 1914 to 1918. In 1922 he was appointed professor of classical philology at the University of Kiel , but in 1923 he moved to the University of Jena . From 1924 he was full professor of Latin philology at the University of Munich . He received further offers for the universities of Greifswald (1922), Hamburg (1924) and Göttingen (1928), which he did not accept.

For the Notgemeinschaft der Deutschen Wissenschaft , the forerunner organization of today's Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft , he acted as the sole expert in the field of Latin studies.

Editor of the Philologus and Bavarian Academy

Johannes Stroux became a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in Munich in 1929 , and remained a corresponding member after he left Munich. In Munich, Stroux was involved in the scientific management of the academy company Thesaurus Linguae Latinae , the complete dictionary of the Latin language, from 1927 , initially as an individual member of the thesaurus commission of the Cartel of Academies , from 1931 as a representative of the Munich Academy and from 1934 to 1949 as President of the Thesaurus Commission. From 1925 to 1933 he was co-founder and editor of Gnomon , a specialist journal for classical studies. From 1929 to 1954 he was the editor of the renowned specialist journal Philologus , which had existed since 1848 , until 1937 together with his friend Albert Rehm , two-time rector of the University of Munich, from 1943 to 1947 with Instinsky and Snell and in 1954 with Zucker and Kleinknecht . The Philologus published a work by Friedrich Münzer in 1937 , but the planned publication of a work by Eduard Norden in the same year was prevented, which is why Rehm left the Philologus. In 1944 an article by Walther Kranz was able to appear in the Philologus . In the late 1920s, Stroux was close to active representatives of Third Humanism , such as Otto Regenbogen and above all Werner Jaeger .

Professor in Berlin, Prussian Academy and Wednesday Society

Home of the Stroux family in Berlin-Lichterfelde since 1935. Eduard Norden , Ludwig Beck and Eduard Spranger lived nearby .

In 1935, he succeeded and with the support of Eduard Norden and Werner Jaeger , a colleague and personal friend, as professor for Latin literature and language at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin , where he took over the management of the Institute for Classical Studies. In Berlin in 1937, on the recommendation of church historian Hans Lietzmann , he became a member of the Wednesday Society , which included Colonel General Ludwig Beck , the physicist Werner Heisenberg , finance minister Johannes Popitz and the educator Eduard Spranger . The Wednesday Society was a group of liberal to national-conservative scientists and politicians, some of whom were active in the resistance and were therefore executed after July 20, 1944 . In 1937 Stroux was co-editor with Schadewaldt and Schweitzer of the journal Die Antike founded and published by Jaeger and the Society for Ancient Culture , as he had to leave Germany and went to America. Also in 1937 he was elected to the Prussian Academy of Sciences , where he first worked under Hans Lietzmann and with Eduard Norden in the Church Fathers Commission and in the Corpus inscriptionum Etruscarum , later he also headed the Corpus inscriptionum Latinarum . His first lectures at the academy dealt with the ancient concept of Bellum Iustum and a comment by Porphyry on Ptolemy's theory of harmony.

War years, academy and Union Académique Internationale

From 1939 to 1945 he was Vice President of the Union Académique Internationale and there at the same time a representative of the Association of German Academies of Sciences together with Heinrich von Srbik from Vienna, who was then President of the Austrian Academy of Sciences . The Union Académique Internationale, based in Brussels, was created in 1919 by dividing the International Association of Academies into a branch for the natural sciences and one for the humanities, which in turn had been formed in 1899 by merging thirty academies. Stroux took over the affairs of the Union in July 1941 after consultation with the permanent secretary of the UAI Baron de Selys-Longchamps, since the presidency of the American Waldo G. Leland had already expired at the end of 1940, elections did not seem possible at this time and a takeover of the presidency had already been considered at the last conference of the UAI in London in 1939. When the position of President of the Berlin Academy was to be filled in March 1943, Stroux was under discussion as an internal candidate of the two classes of the Academy against the candidates of the Reich Minister for Research Bernhard Rust . Since no agreement was reached, the position remained vacant until the end of the war.

The National Socialism was Stroux over distances, he was neither a member of the Nazi party still he used the Nazi speech or thought. However, at the end of 1933 he became a member of the NSLB , whose members , who were active as university lecturers, were incorporated into the NSDDB from 1935 , although he did not take on any functions in either organization. An application for an honorary doctorate to be awarded by the University of Bonn in 1943 was rejected by the Rosenberg office due to the “lack of any active advocacy for National Socialism in ideological terms”. It was also said: "It is reported about Prof. Stroux that he is still counted among those representatives of his subject who have not yet overcome the old humanistic attitude of the Werner Jaeger School in classical studies."

Post-war period, Soviet Zone and GDR

Rector of the Berlin University

After the end of the Second World War , Stroux played a significant role in the reconstruction and reopening of the Berlin university and academy. His rapidly developing, very good relationships with the control officers of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD) in Karlshorst were helpful , in particular with Pyotr Solotuchin , the head of the public education department of the SMAD with officer rank and rector of Leningrad University before the war, and with Pyotr Nikitin , a PhD in physics. Stroux not only negotiates scientific and educational issues, but also the provision of building materials and means of transport. On October 13, 1945, he was appointed by the SMAD and the German Administration for National Education (DZV) to succeed Eduard Spranger as acting rector of the Berlin University, after he had already been commissioned by the latter on June 1, 1945, “first preparations for a first semester that will hopefully start soon ”. With this appointment, the SMAD withdrew the Berlin University from the control of the Allied Command and the Berlin Magistrate , and placed it under the DZV. On January 29, 1946, after being officially appointed rector , Johannes Stroux opened the Berlin University in a festive ceremony. The investiture with the official insignia was carried out by the representative of the DZV , the physician Professor Brugsch . During his rectorate time, there were conflicts between students and the university administration, which arose from the increasing influence of the SED , via the DZV and its director Paul Wandel , on the selection of students and the teaching content, which also affects newspapers such as the West- Berliner Tagesspiegel , which appeared under a license from the ICD of the American military government .

In May 1946, he took part with Spranger and Wolfgang Schadewaldt at the DZV pedagogical conference, whose concern was the redesign of the pedagogical and philosophical faculty and its curricula, and was elected chairman of the “Philosophy, Pedagogy and Psychology” commission at Berlin University . As a result, the pedagogical faculty with the task of teacher training was accepted as a new faculty at Berlin University. With the DZV, he planned a rectors' conference for the universities of the Soviet occupation zone in July 1946, at which the basic principles for the “future democratic structure of the universities” should be discussed. In contrast to the representative of the DZV, Josef Naas, Stroux emphasized the importance of research as the center of the idea of ​​the university, referring to Karl Jaspers . Unlike Jaspers, Stroux saw the special importance of practical science for the university. Due to his health, Stroux was on leave from August 1947 and was represented by Vice-Rector Hermann Dersch , who, after his official resignation on December 9, 1947, succeeded him as Rector. The renaming of the Berlin University to “Humboldt University” finally took place in February 1949 at the suggestion of the Vice Rector Stroux, following a proposal from the Academic Senate to the DZV.

In addition to his tenure from 1946 to 1947 as the first elected rector of the Humboldt University after its reopening and as vice rector from 1947 to 1949, he held the chair for classical philology until 1954 and, as before the war, director of the university institute for antiquity.

President of the Academy of Sciences

In June 1945 Johannes Stroux was commissioned to assume the duties of the President of the Prussian Academy of Sciences . A year later he became the first president of its successor organization, the newly founded German Academy of Sciences in Berlin and later the Academy of Sciences of the GDR. He held the office until 1951 and was then Vice President until 1954. With his dual function as rector and as president of the academy, Stroux had moved to a top position in German science in 1946 and at the top of political science in the Soviet Zone, as both institutions were the most important of their kind in all of Germany.

Reconstruction of the academy

On June 14, 1945, Stroux presented a provisional version of a new statute to the plenary session of the Academy. There it said:

“The academy is a society of scholars, which serves the maintenance and enhancement of the sciences, it is primarily dedicated to strict research, contributes to the spread of science in wider circles and in this way contributes to the preservation and further development of culture . "

From June 1945, Stroux conducted negotiations on the re-admission of the academy with Colonel Berdeli from the SMAD, with Major General Kulebakin, the representative of the Soviet Academy of Sciences and representatives of the other occupation authorities and the Berlin magistrate. The first contact with the Russian military authorities was established by the academy director Helmuth Scheel immediately after the fighting ended . The negotiations were particularly critical for the academy as a complete closure also seemed possible. The academy immediately began resuming its work, which at that time was mostly historical and humanities and basic science and natural science, which had been interrupted by the war. When the Allied Command canceled the Academy's budget on October 27, 1945, Stroux sent a letter to the supreme head of the SMAD, Marshal Shukov , requesting direct subordination to the SMAD until a central government for Germany was formed. This process ensured Stroux for the entire time of his presidency direct access to the highest commander or his political deputy Semjonov , whom he uses for problems or wishes for the academy. In his answer, Zhukov recommended subordination to the east zone DZV, which was accordingly approved again on July 1, 1946 by order of the SMAD as the "German Academy of Sciences in Berlin". In his opening speech, Stroux said: “It is a new life that we receive. [..] Awakening to new life - that means: to be resurrected to a new certainty of existence and to a new freedom of thought and action after the onerous pressure of threatening insecurity has been relieved from us. The right, which is necessary for every great intellectual work, to plan for a further future, to begin long hopes, has been given back to us. [...] But from this new life of the academy everything will be kept away and banished that is in the period that we leave behind us forever, of false doctrines and corruption of science, of misuse of its inventions and complicity. Our work will help to heal the damage that humanity has suffered and help to regain the trust that German science has lost. Where in history there is a resurgence after a deep fall, a renewal after a cultural decline, the tradition gives us the sigh of relief of the people of these generations that a new life, a vita nova has begun for them [..]. ”With the naming DAW connected was the goal of a central academy, i. H. one of the highest scientific institutions in Germany. At the same time, based on the Soviet model, the academy was expanded into a universal research academy by also being given responsibility for all scientific research. In this context, various institutes, in particular the institutes of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society , later the Max Planck Society , located in the Soviet zone , were affiliated and new ones were founded. Stroux is successfully negotiating with SMAD about the return of outsourced research funds, libraries and archives, a new main building on Gendarmenmarkt, founding of the Akademie-Verlag, expansion of printing capacity, procurement of foreign scientific literature, institute buildings, salaries, spa stays, food allocations, company vehicles and also direct ones Subordination of the academy to the DWK , created since 1948 , instead of the DZV. When the budget was cut by a third despite Semjonov's cultural ordinance of 1949, which envisaged the expansion of the academy into Germany's highest scientific center, Stroux sent an ultimately successful letter of protest to Paul Wandel from the DZV and a copy to Karlshorst with the request for support. Accordingly, the academy grew considerably: at the end of 1949 it had 120 full members, compared to 61 in 1946, a total of 612 employees, including 311 scientists, as well as 20 institutes, seven research and work centers and a budget of around twelve million marks, what an increase of 14 times compared to 1946.

Festival of Science

Epicurus (341 BC – 271 BC). The Academy Institute for Hellenistic-Roman Philosophy, headed by Stroux, was primarily supposed to research and publish sources on the philosophy of Epicurus.

The 250th anniversary of the Academy, which was planned for 1950 as an all-German “Festival of Science”, was not attended by many invited academics living in the West because of the increasing tensions between the emerging German states. West German institutions such as the sister academies, universities and the Max Planck Society boycotted the anniversary because they did not want to "become extras for Eastern propaganda" and because the Federal Government, in particular the Federal Minister for All-German Affairs Jakob Kaiser , asked them to do so in writing would have. There was even a wave of withdrawals from the academy. This was reinforced by a congratulatory telegram from the Academy President Stroux on the 70th birthday of Stalin, which was not discussed with the Academy and used the rhetoric customary in the Soviet sphere of influence . For example, the academy member Friedrich Meinecke , prominent historian and first rector of the Free University of Berlin , announced his exit from the academy shortly before the anniversary. Criticism was expressed in particular at the founding event of the congress for cultural freedom by Hans Nachtsheim and published in the Tagesspiegel. This congress was an organization similar to the East German Kulturbund, but structured internationally, supported by the American government and united academics and intellectuals critical of the Soviet Union. At the academy, there was particular criticism of the increasing control of processes by the SMAD and the SED, which was particularly evident in the election of new academy members. This control was carried out internally by the academy director Josef Naas from the DZV, later professor of mathematics, with whom Stroux had a tense relationship. Addressed to the Academy's executive committee about the unauthorized telegram, Stroux offered to resign immediately, which, however, was not accepted with reference to the upcoming new elections in the academy. Since Stroux was already seriously ill at this point, the election of a new academy president became necessary, while Stroux became vice-president. In the following years the academy gave the all-German claim, i. H. the claim to speak for the whole of German science and to preserve the unity of German science, and became the central and highest scientific body of the GDR, with the aim of making science useful for the economy and enhancing the reputation of the GDR at home. and to increase abroad. However, in 1968, 15% of the full members of the academy lived in West Germany or West Berlin, at times almost all presidents of the German academies of science and the Max Planck Society were members of the academy with voting rights, and there were also West German scientists on the executive bodies of the research institutes. It was not until 1968 that they were excluded by an amendment to the statutes.

Institute for Hellenistic-Roman Philosophy

In addition to being the president of the academy, Johannes Stroux also served as the director of the Academy Institute for Hellenistic-Roman Philosophy that he initiated from 1946 to 1954.The institute planned a critical text edition of the entire ancient tradition of the Ekipur school as well as work in the field of the Stoa , the middle Platonic Academy , the younger Aristotelian Peripatos and skepticism . Berthold Häsler was in charge of the work . a. Otto Luschnat , Emilie Boer , Jürgen Mau , Günther Freymuth and Ilse d'Orville von Loewenclau. A small series of publications of its own, mostly on Epicurus, was published, and in some cases it was also published in the Philologus, which has been published again since 1954 . From 1955 to 1961 the institute was continued as a working group in the Academy Institute for Greco-Roman Antiquity.

Private and family life

Johannes Stroux (1947) with his wife (center) at a reception

Johannes Stroux was born in Hagenau in 1886 as the eighth of nine children of Heinrich Stroux and Franziska Faber. Heinrich Stroux was a grammar school professor for mathematics, physics and biology who had moved with his family from Essen to Hagenau after 1871 to teach at the grammar school there, where Johannes Stroux and his brothers also received their school education. Johannes Stroux lost his father in 1899 at the age of 13. He gained his first experience with research on original documents as a schoolboy in the archives of his hometown Hagenau. After studying and taking up his first professorship, he married Paula Speiser in Basel in 1922, who came from a well-known Basel family and, after training in social work, was involved in the London settlement movement and in Basel, but was also a successful violin player. At his wedding, Stroux changes from the Catholic to the Protestant faith of his wife. Johannes Stroux was the father of seven children. The couple found a wide circle of friends in Munich. Johannes Stroux became a member of several lecture groups in Basel, Munich and Berlin, such as the Munich Kyklos, the Berlin Professor Wreath and the Berlin Wednesday Society, where people met in small groups, gave lectures and socialized. Due to his successful scientific publications and his professorships, he was known by the ancient philologists in Germany since the 1920s and worked with many. For a long time there was an intensive, friendly correspondence with Werner Jaeger in particular . In Berlin there were frequent meetings with the Schadewaldt couple , after the war with the Friedrich Zucker couple . On March 10, 1944, he and his family barely survived a heavy night bombing raid on Berlin in their house in Berlin-Lichterfelde . He lost his eldest son, who was a soldier in a telecommunications unit in Samland, in the war in early 1945. Johannes Stroux himself was drafted into the Volkssturm shortly before the end of the war at the age of almost 60 , but did not experience any combat deployment. He kept his residence in West Berlin until the beginning of 1951 and only then moved to the district of Niederschönhausen in East Berlin. Most of his children left the GDR by 1954. After the death of his wife in 1954, Stroux applied for his retirement from the Humboldt University, where he had taught and examined until the end, in order to be able to devote himself fully to the work in the academy. However, confirmation of the application did not reach him. Johannes Stroux died in Berlin in 1954 after a long and serious illness.

Act

In science

Lapis Niger : Oldest surviving Roman inscription, discovered in 1899. In 1931, Stroux made the first successful attempt at an addition and translation in his article The Forum Inscription at Lapis Niger . He interpreted the mention of the "Rex" (king) as a mention of a "Rex sacrorum" (sacrificial king) and thus moved the date to the time of the republic.

Empirical research

The areas of research that Johannes Stroux particularly attracted were, according to his own statements, "the philological textual criticism, the history of language and style and the parts of the ancient legal history that belonged to the ancient speakers and rhetoric". A particular focus of his research was Roman legal history . Individual works deal with the legal policy of the emperors Augustus , Claudius and Caracalla . He also published articles on papyrology , the epigraphy of especially Latin inscriptions and the history of Roman literature. He published almost exclusively in German, e.g. Sometimes also in Latin, and mostly in the publication series of the Bavarian, Prussian and German Academy of Sciences and the Philologus . The reviews of his work in French, Italian, English and German journals and his membership in various European academies and scientific organizations show him as a scientist with an impact in Europe. The focus of his scientific publication activities lies in the years between 1920 and 1940. From this point onwards, other activities that lead to the publication of scientific policy speeches and interviews come to the fore. There are also a number of unpublished works. The Basel philologist Peter von der Mühll found the following assessment for Stroux's scientific work: "Stroux was undoubtedly and acknowledgedly one of the leading Latinists of his generation, and he was an excellent university professor."

Science organizer

In addition to his research work, Johannes Stroux worked in a variety of ways as a science organizer. Both before and after the Second World War he headed several commissions and scientific enterprises, first of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences , then the Prussian Academy and the German Academy of Sciences and other academies. From 1934 to 1949 he was chairman of the international editorial commission of the Union Académique Internationale for the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae , the most complete dictionary of the Latin language, 1937-1945 chairman of the thesaurus commission in the Association of the German Academies of Sciences and 1946-1954 the representative the DAW at the thesaurus. From 1938 to 1945 and from 1950 to 1954 he was also head of the academy company Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum , a collection of all inscriptions of the Roman Empire, from 1938 to 1945 head of the Prosopographia Imperii Romani , a representation of the ruling classes of the empire from Augustus to Diocletian , from 1950 to 1954 chairman of the Corpus Inscriptionum Etruscarum project , whose work was suspended, and of the company Rhetores Graeci, and from 1952 to 1954, as successor to Wolfgang Schadewaldt, chairman of the Corpus Medicorum Graecorum / Latinorum and the Polybios Lexicon. From 1946 to 1950 he was a member of the academy company Goethe Dictionary , chaired by Wolfgang Schadewaldt, which aimed at a comprehensive lexical indexing of Goethe's vocabulary. From 1946 to 1954, Stroux chaired the Academy's Leibniz Commission and chaired the Commission for Late Antiquity Religious History , whose aim was the comprehensive edition of Greek and Latin church literature from the first three centuries after Christianity. He was also head of the Deutsche Literaturzeitung company from 1946 to 1950 , which was to publish critical reviews of works in the humanities. From 1952 to 1953 he was co-editor of the academy journal Wissenschaftliche Annalen , whose task was the dissemination of new research results and a member of the commission for the popularization of the sciences . In particular, from 1946 to 1954 he was director of the Academy Institute for Greco-Roman Antiquity and, from 1952, of the Section for Classical Studies. He was also a co-founder of the Middle Latin dictionary published by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences until the late 13th century .

Scientific trips

He traveled to Basel in 1937 for scientific lectures and for scientific organization purposes, in 1939 to London to the conference of the Union Académique Internationale with Heinrich von Srbik , in 1941 to Lund in Sweden, in 1942 to Barcelona and Madrid to the Instituto Antonio de Nebrija , 1943 to Rome and Bologna . 1948 to Basel and again to Sweden. In 1949, Stroux, together with the miner and national prize winner Adolf Hennecke, first visited Leningrad , then Moscow , where he met Vawilow , the President of the Soviet Academy of Sciences , and then Tbilisi in Georgia . He was no longer able to carry out a trip planned for 1952 with his wife to the second International Epigraphers Congress.

Johannes Stroux was elected in February 1946 as one of the vice-presidents of the Kulturbund for the democratic renewal of Germany . He remained in this position until the beginning of 1954, at times together with Anna Seghers and Arnold Zweig , under the presidency of Johannes R. Bechers . In the Kulturbund he took over the chairmanship of the Central Science Commission from 1946 to 1948 . As a member of the Kulturbund and at times also as an individual, he was a member of the People's Chamber until his death . From 1947 to 1949 he took part in the People's Congress movement for the Kulturbund, together with Becher , and in 1947 he was elected to the Presidium of the first German People's Congress.
