Karl-Sigismund Kramer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl-Sigismund Kramer (born January 16, 1916 in Halle (Saale) , † September 8, 1998 in Dießen am Ammersee ) was a German folklorist .

Life

Karl-Sigismund Kramer, son of the Nienburg pastor and later Bitterfeld superintendent Martin Kramer, studied folklore at the Universities of Halle , Kiel and Munich after graduating from high school , before doing military service from 1939 to 1945.

Subsequently, Karl-Sigismund Kramer worked with Hans Moser at the Bavarian State Office for Folklore in Munich. In addition, he had been teaching at the universities of Munich and Münster from 1962 until he was given the chair of folklore at the University of Kiel in 1966 , which he held until his retirement in 1984.

Act

Together with Moser, Kramer is considered to be the founder of the Munich School - a historical folklore that is precise and critical of the source and that also deals with the historical folk culture of otherwise neglected population groups. In addition, Karl-Sigismund Kramer made numerous contributions to religious folklore and dealt - in some cases critically - with legal folklore .
