Karl dike diggers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Marienus Deichgräber (born February 10, 1903 in Aurich , † December 16, 1984 in Bovenden near Göttingen ) was a German classical philologist and medical historian .

Life

Karl Deichgräber attended the Ulricianum grammar school in Aurich until 1922 . From 1922 he studied classical philology , but also other subjects in Göttingen , later in Berlin and Münster , where Hermann Schöne obliged him to concentrate on the history of medicine. In 1928 he received his doctorate in Münster with a thesis on the Greek medical school of the so-called empiricists. Returning to Berlin, Deichgräber completed his habilitation in 1931 with an investigation into the first and third epidemic books of Hippocrates . In 1935 he received a call to Marburg as Associate Professor of Greek Studies ; three years later he was clearly the successor of Max Pohlenz in Göttingen because of his professional qualifications , but also because, according to the rector of the university, "from an ideological point of view there were only excellent reports". From 1939 to 1945 he also served as dean of the philosophy faculty there. He turned down calls to Graz, Würzburg and Frankfurt. In 1938 he joined the NSDAP . From 1938 to 1945 he was a full member of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen .

On January 25, 1946, Deichgräber was dismissed from his position, which he himself felt as deeply unjust throughout his life. He never questioned his role in National Socialism. In 1951, like most of his colleagues, he became a professor of recycling through the §131 Law . He appealed against the motion of the Senate of the University of Göttingen to retire, which would have resulted in a lower pension. He finally threatened lawsuit in order to obtain his reuse on the Latte Chair. In 1957, after the retirement of Kurt Latte , who had been expelled by the National Socialists but had returned to Göttingen , he was reinstated as full professor of classical philology.

He then taught in Göttingen until his retirement in April 1968. His successor was Klaus Nickau .

Karl Deichgräber was the brother of the architect Ludwig Deichgräber . He was married to Ilse Deichgräber (née Lammers) since 1934. The couple had a son Reinhard and daughters Almut and Gisela.
