List of classical archaeologists at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of classical archaeologists at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg includes all university lecturers who taught at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg . 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 archaeologists (lecturers: assistants and employees ) are only included in justified exceptional cases.

In 1738, Johann Heinrich Schulze first used ancient coins in his lectures. Since 1845 there has been a professorship at the university, which was initially filled with Ludwig Ross . In 1882 Heinrich Heydemann's extraordinary full professorship was converted into a professorship, which lasted until Herbert Koch left in 1950. In the GDR, the professorship was refilled with Manfred Oppermann in 1984, and there has been a chair again since 1994, which Andreas E. Furtwängler held until 2010 . Classical archeology has been linked to ancient history and classical philology in a joint institute since 1927, and oriental archeology was also added at times during the GDR period. Since 2006, the Chair of Classical Archeology has belonged to both the Institute for Classical Studies and the Institute for Art History and Archeologies of Europe. The building, erected in 1891 as the University's Archaeological Museum , now houses the museum collections and classical archeology as well as the Institute for Classical Studies and the shared library.

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 reached at the University of Halle-Wittenberg. 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 not always possible due to image rights.
