Martin Johann Wikosch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Johann Wikosch (born November 8, 1754 in Hungarian Brod in Moravia , † October 28, 1826 in Vienna ) was an Austrian educator.

Life

Martin Johann Wikosch attended grammar schools in Straßnitz and Nikolsburg and then studied ancient languages, philosophy and law at the Olomouc University of Applied Sciences . From there he went to the University of Vienna and listened to lectures in stories and other branches of knowledge until he obtained his doctorate in philosophy.

In 1781 he became juridical prefect at the Theresian Knight Academy in Vienna and in 1784 he received the position of scriptor at the University Library in Vienna . In 1789 he was appointed librarian at the University of Innsbruck and joined this post as a professor of history, supplemented for some time by natural history. In the course of time he became pro-rector of the university.

When Tyrol was ceded to the Electorate of Bavaria in 1805 after the Peace of Pressburg on December 26, 1805 , he received the professorship of world history at the Lyceum in Olomouc , where he also became rector of the school over time. In October 1807 he was appointed full professor of world history at the University of Vienna and, on his own initiative, read about the historical auxiliary subjects of diplomacy and heraldry (from 1815) until he retired in 1823
