from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the list of Altorientalisten at the Free University of Berlin , all university teachers are collected, at the Free University of teaching and teaching. As a rule, this includes all regular university professors who were allowed to give lectures, i.e. who had completed their habilitation . In particular, these are full professors , non-scheduled professors , junior professors , guest professors , honorary professors , chair representatives and private lecturers . Mid-level staff (lecturers: assistants and employees ) are only taken into account in justified exceptional cases.

The subject was founded at the university in 1949 and has been taught since 1950. It is closely connected with the Near Eastern Archeology , with which it shares the premises. The library is equipped in such a way that separation is no longer possible. Initially, Ancient Near Eastern Studies was also represented for two years by the Near Eastern Archeology, as archeology was called at the instigation of the first professor, Anton Moortgat . Today, the community of both subjects, with two professors each, is unique in terms of form and equipment, and is also close to the most important archaeological collection ( Vorderasiatisches Museum Berlin ) and the German Archaeological Institute .

The first column shows the name of the person and their life data, the second column shows entry into the university, and the third column shows their departure. Column four names the highest position achieved at the University of Cologne. At other universities, the corresponding lecturer may have made an even more extensive scientific career. The next column lists special features, the career path or other information relating to the university or institute. The last column shows pictures of the lecturers, which is currently difficult due to the image rights.
