List of Classical Archaeologists at the University of Graz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the list of classical archaeologist at the University of Graz all university teachers are collected, at the Karl-Franzens University Graz taught. 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 1865 an "archaeological cabinet" was set up at the university, which was initially supervised by classical scholars. In 1877, a "Chair for Classical Art Archeology" was set up, an extraordinary professorship that was converted into a full professorship in 1890. Since 1894 it has been allowed to call itself "Institute". The chair was occupied without major interruptions until 1945. After the war in 1948 only an associate professorship was restored. In 1963 it became its own chair again. From 1999 to 2008 it was not filled due to appointment problems.

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 Graz. 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.
