Ludwig Hanselmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Hänselmann (born March 4, 1834 in Braunschweig ; † March 22, 1904 there ) was a German historian and the first full-time archivist in the city of Braunschweig.

Life

Ludwig Hänselmann was the son of the Swabian type founder CG Hänselmann (1796–1874) and his wife Dorothee Rohde (1805–1869) from Braunschweig. He received his education at the Braunschweig orphanage school and at the Martino-Katharineum . From 1853 he studied first theology and later history at the University of Jena . His academic teacher, the historian Johann Gustav Droysen , influenced him with regard to his later career choice as archivist. Droysen accepted Hänselmann into the historical society and commissioned him to study Johannes Niderwhich, however, were never completed and with the evaluation of the early modern inventory of the city archive in Weimar.

Hanselmann learned the archival practice at the Grand Ducal Secret Main Archive in Schwerin before he returned to Braunschweig at the end of 1859. Since March 1860 he recorded the files of the city, which was preparing for the millennium anniversary in 1861. In 1862 he was appointed head of the “municipal collections” in the Neustadtrathaus , which included the city ​​archive , the city ​​library and the city ​​museum (until 1898). He held this office until his death in 1904. During this time he campaigned strongly for the repatriation of the city's archives that had been brought out of the city in 1671 after the subjugation of Braunschweig. In 1865, Hänselmann became the “city archivist”, received the title of professor from the regent Prince Albrecht in 1886, and in 1887 was awarded an honorary doctorate from the law faculty of the University of Göttingen . In 1878 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences .

Hänselmann was friends with the writer Wilhelm Raabe , with whom he met in the sociable association of “ clothing sellers ”. From 1871 to 1900 he was a member of the board of directors of the Hanseatic History Association. In 1873, at the annual meeting of the association, which met in Braunschweig, he gave a lecture on Braunschweig in its relations with the Harz and sea regions . In 1873 and 1900, Hänselmann published the first two volumes of the city's document book. He wrote the chronicles of the cities of Lower Saxony (1868, 1880), works on the history of the Hanseatic League , writings on Carl Friedrich Gauß (1878), Bugenhagen's church regulations of 1528 (1885) and Hermann Bote's shift book . He was also active as a poet and wrote the novellas "Der Nickerkulk ", "Unterm Löwensteine" and "Hans Dilien der Türmer".

Hanselmann had been married to Fanny Vaudroz since 1863, with whom he had three daughters. He died shortly after his 70th birthday in Braunschweig.
