Karl Hartfelder

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Philipp Hartfelder (born April 25, 1848 in Karlsruhe , † June 7, 1893 in Heidelberg ) was a German historian , archivist and educator .

Life

After graduating from high school, Hartfelder began studying Protestant theology at the University of Heidelberg in 1868 and moved to the University of Berlin in the spring of 1870 , where he also studied oriental languages . During the Franco-Prussian War he worked in voluntary nursing. In 1872 he passed the final theological examination and briefly took up a position as vicar in Eberbach . Soon he began again to study philology and archeology in Heidelberg , where he a. a. studied with Hermann Köchly , Otto Ribbeck and Karl Bernhard Stark . He passed the philological state examination in 1875 and received his doctorate with a dissertation on Cicero's philosophical writings ( De Cicerone Epicureae doctrinae interprete ). In the fall of 1875 he began as a teaching trainee at the grammar school in Freiburg im Breisgau , where he was appointed professor in 1876 and also studied history. Here he was also a member of the Freiburg History Association and published works on Breisgau regional history. From 1880 to 1882 he was then archivist in the service of the General State Archives in Karlsruhe . Since the state parliament no longer approved the budget for the archive office, he then worked as a professor at the grammar school in Heidelberg from 1882. Since 1885 he was an extraordinary member of the Baden Historical Commission , for which he sifted through a large number of community archives in the Heidelberg area.

His historical studies dealt in particular with the peasants' war in southwest Germany and humanism on the Upper Rhine . He paid particular attention to Philipp Melanchthon in his work . The list of his works is surprisingly extensive considering his age.

In 1893 he had to break off a trip to Italy prematurely for health reasons and died in June of that year at the age of only 45.

Honors

The theological faculty of Heidelberg University awarded him an honorary doctorate.
