List of Classical Archaeologists at the University of Cologne

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the list of classical archaeologist at the University of Cologne all university teachers are collected, at the University of Cologne taught or teach. As a rule, this includes all regular university professors who were allowed to give lectures, i.e. who had completed their habilitation .

After the university was re-established in 1919, a quick establishment of a chair for Classical Archeology was planned from the start. Both the interest due to the collection of Roman-Germanic antiquities in the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum (today Römisch-Germanisches Museum ) and the general interest in the Roman past in Cologne as well as the interest of neighboring disciplines to establish classical archeology supported the request. In the winter semester of 1928/29, the subject Classical Archeology was set up in Cologne. Andreas Rumpf became the first professor . In 1960 a second professorship was established. The Monumenta Artis Romanae archive had existed since 1966 and functioned as an independent part of the institute and was expanded over time to become a research archive for ancient sculpture. In the meantime it has been extended to the CoDArchLab with the Arachne object database (image database) Arachne . The heads have the rank of unplanned professors. In 1972 a professorship for Near Eastern antiquity was added, which was rededicated in 1988 to a professorship for archeology in the Roman provinces. Today the three full professors of the institute form the institute's executive board.

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.
