List of Classical Philologists at the Kaiser Wilhelms University of Strasbourg
The list of Classical Philologists at the former Kaiser-Wilhelms-Universität Strasbourg includes the representatives of the Classical Philology department at the German University of Strasbourg , which existed from 1872 to 1918.
When the Kaiser- Wilhelms -Universität was founded, two chairs for Classical Philology were set up, the owners of which were also supposed to represent Classical Archeology. The first professors to be appointed were the 34-year-old epigraphist Ulrich Köhler and the 29-year-old philologist Wilhelm Studemund . The philological chairs at the University of Strasbourg were the third or fourth station for most of the later holders. Eduard Schwartz was particularly closely connected with the university (professor 1897–1902 and 1914–1918).
After the defeat of the German Reich in World War I , the University of Strasbourg was taken over by the French government and the professors were expelled from the university.
Fourteen volumes of the series Dissertationes philologicae Argentoratenses selectae were published in Strasbourg from 1879 to 1918 .
