Life

family

Tittmann was the son of the lawyer Ernst Tittmann († 1828); his mother Louise Tittmann , née Becker (1794–1878), later became a supervisor at the Hoftöchterschule in Hanover and in 1842 published a short epic called "Alfhilde" about the Christianization of the Rhume area . His son died in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870.

Life

Julius Tittman first attended the school in Northeim and - after the early death of his father - the school in Holzminden for two years and then the Lyceum there in Hanover . From Easter 1834 he studied theology at the University of Göttingen , which he passed with the first theological exam in 1839. Then, however, he increasingly turned to the study of beautiful literature and aesthetics, possibly influenced by his mother, who was the supervisor of the court daughters' school and published in 1842 "a sweet punch epic" called Alfhilde.

Julius taught at the court daughters' school for a short time from 1839 to 1840, and in 1840 also briefly accepted an apprenticeship at the Osnabrück commercial school. From 1842 to 1846 he taught again at the Hoftöchterschule in Hanover, but his mother's attempt to make him inspector of the Hofsöhneschule through mediation failed.

Finally , Tittmann completed his habilitation in literature at the University of Göttingen. In 1848 he got a teaching license there . Until 1867 he could show little success. After Karl Goedeke moved to Göttingen, the two began a fruitful collaboration.

From then on, Tittmann wrote numerous works. These are mainly biographical studies of authors from the 17th century as well as source studies from this and other centuries. His treatises refer to Jakob Ayrer , Paul Fleming , Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen , Andreas Gryphius , Martin Opitz and others.
