Life

Paul Hagen lost his father Heinrich Hagen, the head of a girls' secondary school, at the age of two and a half and was given to him by his mother Johanna, nee. Carstens raised alone. From 1877 to high school at Easter 1883 he attended the Katharineum in Lübeck . From autumn 1883 he studied classical philology, German and history at the universities of Marburg , Leipzig , Bonn and Kiel . In Leipzig he was part of a circle of friends that included Thomas Lenschau , Alfred Hettner , Erich von Drygalski and Karl Spannagel . In Kiel he was in 1887 after one of Richard Foerster supervised dissertation on Dion Chrysostomos Dr. phil. PhD. At the same time he passed the Prussian state examination for teaching at grammar schools. After completing the probationary year in a grammar school in Marburg, however, he decided not to go to school and returned to Lübeck in 1890, where he initially worked as a private scholar with studies on Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival . He published a volume of poems under the pseudonym Paul Thronelk . He also tried his hand at translating and editing a tragedy by Thomas Otway .

In 1908, through Gustav Roethe , he received an order from the Prussian Academy of Sciences to catalog the manuscripts of the Lübeck city ​​library . This project was completed in 1912, but could not be published in parts until after the First World War .

From 1921 Hagen was constantly working as a research assistant with a small salary at the city library. He cataloged Friedrich Overbeck's estate . His investigations into two of the Middle Low German theological manuscripts from the Michaeliskonvent and their significance for the genesis and tradition of the Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis were of supraregional importance .

Hagen remained unmarried and lived with his sisters in Lübeck.
