Otto Immisch

Joannes Heinrich Otto Immisch (born June 18, 1862 in Wartha near Malschwitz , Upper Lusatia ; † October 29, 1936 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a German classical philologist.

Life

Otto Immisch came from a family of foresters and farmers. His parents were Pauline geb. Wiedemann (1834–1876) and the elementary school teacher Carl Otto Immisch (1833–1899). From 1867 the family lived in Dresden, where the father taught at the 9th district school. Otto Immisch himself attended the 1st Citizens' School, took private lessons in Latin and was admitted to the Kreuzschule in 1875 , where he passed his school leaving examination in 1882. With some of his classmates, he founded the “Litterarian Evening in Leipzig” in June 1882, a student association from which the Leipzig gymnastics club Fridericiana (now based in Mannheim) emerged. He studied classical philology at the University of Leipzig under Otto Ribbeck and received his doctorate in 1885. Until his habilitation in 1889 with the script Klaros, he taught research on Greek foundation legends at the König-Albert-Gymnasium and at the university. After six years he became associate professor in 1895, followed a call to Giessen in 1907 and, after a one-year professorship in Königsberg , received a call from the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg in 1914 , which he accepted. From 1924 to 1925 he was rector of the university and was retired in 1930 . His successor was Eduard Fraenkel .

From 1915 to 1927 he was chairman of the grammar school association (since 1927 honorary chairman), which advocated the preservation of humanistic grammar schools in Germany. He therefore published many articles in the association magazine Das humanistische Gymnasium .

In 1917 he was appointed Privy Councilor and a member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences .
