List of classical archaeologists at the Westphalian Wilhelms University

The list of classical archaeologists at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität includes all university lecturers who have taught and are teaching at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster . 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.

Classical archeology has been represented at the university with an extraordinary degree since 1883, which was first taught by Arthur Milchhoefer . In 1907 it was converted into a full chair during Friedrich Koepp's tenure . Today it is a C-4 professorship. In 1962 Ludwig Budde became a scientific adviser and professor, and Hans Wiegartz became a C-3 professorship. In addition, since 1951 there has been a professorship for Classical Archeology with a special focus on late antiquity , which was first held by Josef Fink . In 1993 the subject became an independent subject.

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 lists the highest position achieved at the Westphalian Wilhelms 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.
