List of classical archaeologists at the Humboldt University in Berlin
In the list of classical archaeologists at the Humboldt University of Berlin , all university teachers are collected, which at the Friedrich-Wilhelms University and its successor, the Humboldt University of Berlin , Classical Archeology taught. As a rule, this includes all regular university professors who were allowed to give lectures, i.e. who had completed their habilitation .
The subject was taught from the beginning of the Berlin University, but initially still belonged to the canons of art history and classical philology . This is one of the reasons why some scientists are included in the list who were not classical archaeologists but were active in neighboring disciplines, but gave archaeological events.
Classical archeology was established as an independent subject in 1851 with the establishment of the "Archaeological Apparatus" by Eduard Gerhard . In Berlin there has always been a close connection between the university and the Antikensammlung . Eduard Gerhard, Ernst Curtius and Reinhard Kekulé von Stradonitz were both director of the museums and professor at the university. Further connections existed with the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences . Many scientists from the museum and academy worked as professors or honorary lecturers at the university. It was only under Georg Loeschcke in 1912 that the university and museum offices were separated and an independent archaeological seminar was set up. Under Gerhart Rodenwaldt , it was named " Winckelmann Institute " in 1941 .
After the Second World War, Classical Archeology was continued at the Humboldt University, but Friedrich Wilhelm Goethert and Gerhard Kleiner left the University in 1948 and founded Classical Archeology at the Free University of Berlin . The pre-war library came to the Free University in 1948. Ludger Alscher was appointed to the Humboldt University in 1951 . Classical archeology quickly lost its importance in the GDR and at Berlin University. In the end, the research was mainly carried out by the Central Institute for Ancient History and Archeology . The institute very quickly lost a large part of its premises to other departments. It was only after the political change in 1989 that the institute could begin to expand again and many of the old premises, including the teaching collection, were regained. Since 1995 there have been two professorships.
The first column shows the name of the person and their life data, the second column shows the entry into the university, and the third column shows the departure. Column four names the highest position achieved at Berlin University. At other universities, the lecturer may have made an advanced academic 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.
