from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Schmid (born January 17, 1811 in Vaihingen an der Enz , † April 2, 1898 in Tübingen ) was a German historian who wrote about the history of the Hohenzollern , among other things .

Life

Schmid was born in Vaihingen an der Enz, Württemberg in 1811 and completed a degree. He then became court master at the Minister of War Ernst von Hügel in Stuttgart and worked as a teacher until 1874, most recently in a secondary school in Tübingen. After his retirement he devoted himself to his private studies.

He researched Swabian history for many decades and was honored for his research by Kaiser Wilhelm I and the Prince of Hohenzollern . He wrote specialist books about the Count Palatine of Tübingen and the Count of Zollern-Hohenzollern . The Monumenta Hohenbergica document collection is particularly worth mentioning .

Schmid's most important work was "The oldest history of the illustrious general house of the Royal and Princely Hohenzollern until the acquisition of the burgraviate of Nuremberg " in three parts (1884/88). In the third volume he represented the prevailing view today that the kings of Prussia descended from the Swabian Hohenzollern . Other scholars, however, were of the opinion that the kings of Prussia came from the Frankish counts of Abenberg .
