Margarethe Gütschow
Margarethe Gütschow , also Margarete Gütschow (born September 9, 1871 in Niendorf , † July 29, 1951 in Schleswig ) was a German classical archaeologist .
Margarethe Gütschow was the fourth child and third daughter of the landlord Ludwig Theodor Gütschow (1832–1908) and his wife Maria Elisabeth, née Fehling (1838–1886). Else Gütschow was her older sister; Carl Philipp Gütschow and Johannes Christoph Fehling were her grandfathers. She was tutored by private tutors and attended the Roquette private teacher seminar in Lübeck. Since then she was friends with her classmate Fanny zu Reventlow , who the Gütschow sisters processed autobiographically in Ellen Olestjerne with the family name Seebohm . Together they belonged to the liberal Ibsen club in Lübeck , which was also joined in 1889 by the Danish painter Vilhelm Petersen, and later Willy Gretor . Young people met in the Ibsen Club to exchange ideas about modern literature; he was surrounded by "an aura of mystery and scandalousness".
From 1910 she worked as an assistant for the German Archaeological Institute (DAI) in Rome, initially on the real catalog. With Margarete Bieber she was one of the first two female employees of the DAI. Gütschow never completed her studies with a doctorate, so she could never and never wanted to pursue an academic career. In the professional world she first attracted attention with her work on the Corinthian capital . Her most important activity, however, was her long-term collaboration in the project The ancient sarcophagus reliefs , for which she also made various photographs. In 1928 she was elected as the third woman after Margarete Bieber and Elvira Fölzer to the corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute. Gütschow received an honorary doctorate from the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Hamburg . In 1938 she set up the museum at the Pretextat catacomb with numerous pagan sarcophagi and wrote a publication of the same name. Gütschow was close friends with the pediatrician and religious scholar Paula Philippson .
