Paul Stengel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul August Wilhelm Stengel (born February 18, 1851 in Szabienen , Darkehmen district , East Prussia ; † February 23, 1929 in Schlachtensee , Berlin - Zehlendorf ) was a German classical philologist and high school teacher.

Life

Born as the son of the local superintendent Wilhelm Stengel (1822–1895), Paul passed his Abitur in 1869 at the Kgl. Lyck high school . Then he enrolled for the winter semester 1869/70 to study theology at the University of Königsberg, later switched to philology and graduated in December 1874 with the certificate of teaching qualification. The following year he received his doctorate from the University of Jena with a dissertation on Aeschylus . After his trial half-year as an assistant teacher in Graudenz , he worked as a grammar school teacher at the Joachimsthal School in Berlin from autumn 1875 until his retirement in 1913 , with the title of professor from 1891 . In November 1919 he moved to Linz am Rhein .

From 1879, Stengel was a regular contributor to the New Yearbooks for Philology and Pedagogy (or the Yearbooks for Classical Philology ), and from 1891 he published numerous articles in the magazine Hermes . In his work he mainly dealt with questions of religion and cult and in particular the sacrificial customs of ancient Greece. He is the author of a volume on The Greek Cultural Antiquities of the Handbook of Ancient Studies (2nd and 3rd edition, co-author of the 1st edition). He was also a collaborator in Paulys Realencyclopadie of classical antiquity . Paul Wendland considered his book on the sacrificial customs of the Greeks , the fruit of his decades of preoccupation with the subject, to be "a model of religious-historical method".
