Karl Christian von Leutsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Christian von Leutsch (born December 22, 1798 in Wetzlar , † 1881 in Celle ) was a German historian and geographer.

Life

Karl Christian von Leutsch was the second eldest son of seven children of Friedrich August von Leutsch, who was then an attorney at the Imperial Court of Justice in Wetzlar, and his wife Caroline Christiane, née. Hoffmann (1775-1820). The classical philologist Ernst von Leutsch was one of his younger brothers. He attended the Princely School of St. Afra zu Meißen from 1814 to 1817, but was also matriculated at the University of Leipzig in 1813 . However, Leutsch did not study law at the Universities of Göttingen and Leipzig until 1818. In Göttingen he became a member of the Corps Hannovera . He was wounded on July 22, 1818 in disputes with the Northeimer Hussars deployed in Göttingen against the student body. The events led to the move to Witzenhausen . Then he changed the place of study and went to the University of Leipzig. There he became a member of the Corps Lusatia .

After his studies and the death of his parents, he worked primarily as a historian and geographer and examined the early administrative structure of Germany, the Gaue . His Prussian history led to arguments with the censor Naudé. Biographically, he was one of the first to deal with the Margrave Gero in a notable biography. He was a member of the German Society for Research on the Patriotic Language and Antiquities in Leipzig. Just as his brother made a name for himself as a classical philologist, Karl Christian von Leutsch restricted his own publication activities around the same time. There is little evidence of his later life; Often his life data are mixed up with those of his other brothers, especially with those of his eldest brother, the royal Hanoverian judiciary Friedrich Ernst von Leutsch (1797-1852).
