Life

After graduating from high school in Wiesbaden in 1886, Ludwig Pallat began studying Classical Philology and Classical Archeology at the Universities of Munich , Leipzig and Berlin , where he received his doctorate under Hermann Diels in 1891 and passed the state examination for the teaching post the following year. From 1892 to 1895 he was a travel fellow of the German Archaeological Institute until 1894 for a study visit to Greece and Italy. From 1895 he was initially acting as curator and from 1897 as head of the Museum of Nassau Antiquities in Wiesbaden.

In 1898 Pallat was appointed to the Prussian Ministry of Culture , initially as a research assistant for the reform of art teaching. In 1899 he received the title of professor, in 1908 he was promoted to the secret government council, three years later to the senior government council. From 1915 he was (formally only part-time) the first head of the Central Institute for Education and Teaching in Berlin, which developed into the central educational information and work center in Germany during the Weimar Republic. From 1928 to 1932 Pallat was also curator of the University of Halle-Wittenberg . After the National Socialist seizure of power, he took a leave of absence and stayed in Greece for archaeological research from autumn 1933 to spring 1934, but then took over the nominal management of the central institute again until 1938.

Pallat was the brother-in-law and friend of the poet Otto Erich Hartleben (1864–1905), known as the “chaperon”, in the language of the time “elephant”, Pallat and his future wife, Hartleben's sister Annemarie (1875–1972), on a trip to Italy accompanied. In honor of their brother-in-law, they named the street of their house in Wannsee "Otto-Erich-Straße". In the Logau booklet published by Hartleben (1904) there are two quatrains by Ludwig Pallat: Monotony , first titled An Elsam , and To a German poet . They have been "smuggled in" by the publisher. In 1939 Pallat moved to Göttingen, where he spent the last years of his life. In 1938 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences .

Pallat's daughter Rosemarie (1904–2002) married the educator and later resistance fighter Adolf Reichwein in 1933 , the son Peter Pallat (1901–1992) succeeded as a game inventor and architect.

Services

Pallat, who could not take up his original dream job of painter for family reasons, worked as a classical archaeologist a. a. with the Erechtheion on the Athens Acropolis . As Wiesbaden museum director, he was also the route commissioner of the Reich Limes Commission and led excavations in the Holzhausen fort . During this time, together with Emil Ritterling , he wrote what remains fundamental to the present day on Wiesbaden in Rome . A biography that he had written about the Berlin museum director Richard Schöne was published posthumously. He was a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute.

In the Prussian Ministry of Culture, Pallat mainly dealt with the reform of drawing lessons in schools, drawing on the contemporary art education movement and, among other things , achieving equality between art teachers and teachers in other subjects. As head of the Central Institute for Education and Teaching, Pallat held a key position in the German education system and promoted numerous educational reform projects.
