List of Classical Philologists at the Philipps University of Marburg
The list of classical philologists at the Philipps University of Marburg includes well-known university lecturers in this subject who worked and are working at the Philipps University of Marburg .
Until the early 19th century, Classical Philology in Marburg, as at many other universities, was a basic subject for academic propaedeutics. A professorship in the Greek language has existed since the university was founded (1527), but its holders did not advocate the independence of philology. This changed during the time when Marburg belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia : The General Studies Director Justus Christoph von Leist founded a philological seminar on May 2, 1811, following the example of other universities, which was supposed to provide the preparatory training and financing of philology students. It was originally intended to prepare students for teaching at school, but gradually developed into a place for research. It was originally headed by four directors who change every six months ( Wilhelm Münscher and Albert Jakob Arnoldi from the theological faculty, Ludwig Wachler (literary historian) and Karl Franz Christian Wagner from the philosophical faculty ). The members of the philological seminary were initially divided into three classes; A scholarship totaling CHF 1,000 was available for everyone. In 1812 Georg Ludolf Dissen was called in to lead the seminar, who had already gained experience of such an institution in Göttingen and Berlin.
After the reestablishment of the Electorate of Hesse , the seminary was confirmed by the sovereign in 1815. In addition to Wagner, the chairpersons were Professors Börsch, Platner and Koch. In the years that followed, the seminar leaders were frequently exchanged, until in 1825 Wagner was the sole director.
When Karl Friedrich Hermann took over the leadership of the seminar in 1833, first alongside Wagner and then in his place, he redesigned the seminar. From now on, the seminar members were to be trained in the philological-critical method of treating writers. Hermann's successor Theodor Bergk (from 1842) introduced seminar statutes in 1844 to maintain order, which had to be signed by the new members by 1868. After Bergk's departure (1852), Karl Friedrich Weber was his successor, after his death (1861) Carl Julius Caesar , who led the seminar from 1863 together with Leopold Schmidt . The two reformed the seminar again in 1863, setting standards for the seminar leadership, the library, the budget and the exercises, among other things. The number of ordinary members was eight, in addition there were twelve to 20 extraordinary members. The budget was increased to 300 thalers in 1866. Since then, the directors have been the two professors in Classical Philology. In 1879 a philological proseminar was established.

List of Classical Philologists
The following list starts at the beginning of the 19th century, because Classical Philology was established as an independent subject in Marburg at this time.
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 Marburg. At other universities, the corresponding lecturer may have made an even more extensive scientific career. The next column names special features, the career path or other information relating to the university or the seminar. In the last column there are pictures of the lecturers.
