Paul Sartori

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Gottfried Carl Sartori (born November 5, 1857 in Lübeck , † August 26, 1936 in Dortmund ) was a German philologist and folklorist .

Live and act

Paul Sartori was the son of August Sartori , a professor at the Katharineum in Lübeck and a respected citizen of Lübeck, who was very active on a voluntary basis. Paul Sartori passed his high school diploma at his father's school at Easter 1877, then completed military service and then studied classical philology and German in Bonn , Leipzig and Göttingen from 1878 . After completing his studies in 1882, he was initially an assistant teacher in Göttingen. Three years later he moved to the Dortmund City High School , where he stayed until his retirement in 1932. In 1889 he had married Elena von Holten (1868-1951).

Sartori became enthusiastic about folklore at an early age. Together with Karl Prümer and others, he founded the Association for Rhenish and Westphalian Folklore in 1903 . He joined the Masonic Lodge Zur alten Linde, to which many members of the Dortmund upper class belonged, and headed it from 1915 to 1921.

From Paul Sartori's estate there are 400 volumes of 19th century literature and folklore in the Dortmund City and State Library . A running meter of scripts is still unrecorded. The lodge's archive contains letters from the period between 1885 and 1887 as well as two extensive volumes of speech manuscripts.

Honors

Paul Sartori was awarded an honorary doctorate in 1927 by the Philosophical and Natural Science Faculty of the University of Münster for his services to folklore. The Masonic lodges in Cologne, Soest and Witten made him an honorary member. The city of Dortmund has named a street after him.
