from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the list of classical archaeologist at the University of Leipzig all university teachers are collected, at the University of Leipzig taught and teach. 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 . In addition to academic councils as permanent employees as well as custodians of the Museum of Antiquities Leipzig University considered. Mid-level archaeologists (lecturers: assistants and employees ) are only included in justified exceptional cases.

The first beginnings of classical archaeological teaching began with the professor of poetry, Johann Friedrich Christ from 1735. In 1834 an “antiquarian society” was founded, from which the archaeological seminar emerged in 1874 as a permanent university facility. Since 1840, a teaching and study collection of ancient art has also been built in Leipzig. In 1968 classical archeology in Leipzig was put to an end as part of the third university reform. The chair was dissolved, the teaching and study collection banned in depots and teaching within the "Department of Archeology" was maintained. The seminar was not set up again until 1991. In 2014, Classical Archeology was proposed for deletion by the Rectorate of Leipzig University.

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 Leipzig University. 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.
