Life
Århammar studied German in Uppsala , Münster , Cologne and Marburg . In the early 1960s, Århammar carried out field research on the use of the North Frisian dialects Öömrang and Fering on the islands of Amrum and Föhr as a research assistant at the North Frisian Dictionary Office at Kiel University . He then worked at the German Institute of the University of Marburg, where he became a lecturer for Swedish from 1966 .
In 1968, Århammar received the order from the Mainz Academy of Sciences to continue the Heligoland scientific dictionary , which was later withdrawn. In 1974 the habilitation for "Germanic Philology with special consideration of Frisian and Low German" took place. In 1976 he accepted a professorship for Frisian and Gothic at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands . In 1988 he became the first professor for "Frisian and its didactics" at the then Flensburg University of Education , so that Frisian teachers could be trained for the first time in Germany. The position of director at the Nordfriisk Instituut in Bredstedt was associated with the professorship in Flensburg .
After his retirement in 1996, he and his wife Ritva Århammar resumed work on the Helgoland dictionary . The professorship at the PH Flensburg has been converted into an honorary professorship.
