Karl Barwick
Karl Barwick (born May 14, 1883 in Oberndorf ; † March 23, 1965 in Jena ) was a German classical philologist who worked as a professor of Latin studies in Jena (1919-1954).
Life
Karl Barwick, the son of a wine grower from the Rheinpfalz , studied classical philology at the universities of Strasbourg , Munich and Jena . During his studies he became a member of the student choir Arion Strasbourg in the association of special houses . In Jena he closely followed Georg Goetz , where he received his doctorate in 1908 with the dissertation De Iunio Filargino Vergilii interprete . Barwick then worked for a few years as a high school teacher in Hildburghausen in Thuringia. He achieved his habilitation four years later with the font De Platonis Phaedri temporibus, which appeared in the Commentationes philologicae Jenenses (Volume 10.1, Leipzig 1913).
After his return from the First World War , Barwick was appointed associate professor at the University of Jena in 1919. When Goetz retired in 1923, Johannes Stroux from Kiel succeeded him. Just a year later, Stroux moved to Munich, so that Barwick was given the chair for Latin studies in 1925. He gave his inaugural lecture on May 16, 1925 on Cicero's ideal of education . Barwick worked in Jena during the Weimar Republic, the time of National Socialism and in the GDR as a professor of classical philology. His distance from the respective political system enabled him to work seamlessly in research and teaching. Barwick worked for many years with his colleague Friedrich Zucker , professor of Greek studies , until he retired in 1954. Since 1951 he was a full member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences .
