Life

Paulheinz Ahlert, the son of the surveying assistant Emil Ahlert and Karoline born. Fischer, attended elementary school and from 1924 to Easter 1933 the Ratsgymnasium Bielefeld . After graduating from high school and six months of labor service , he studied classical philology, philosophy , archeology and German at the University of Münster from the winter semester of 1933/34 . In the summer semester of 1935 he moved to the Berlin University , where he was part of the philological proseminar for two semesters and then two semesters of the philological seminar. His doctoral thesis emerged from the seminar, which he wrote from 1937 under the direction of Ludwig Deubner ; Christian Jensen was the co-referee . After the oral examination on February 9, 1939, Ahlert prepared for the teaching examination, which he completed that same year.

In September 1939, the Second World War interrupted Ahlert's career. He took part in the war as a medic and continued his scientific training as best he could while on vacation. On December 5, 1939 he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD . His doctoral thesis appeared unchanged in 1942 and was well received by the professional world. Ernst Kalinka wrote in a review: "[It] compensates for the lack of factual results for the abundance of subtle interpretations that give the dissertation lasting value."

In addition to his dissertation, Ahlert also undertook other scientific work. At the request of Wilhelm Kroll , he wrote an article about the poet Phokylides for Paulys Realencyclopadie der Classischen Antiquity (RE) . On behalf of the Prussian Academy of Sciences , he and Rudolf Güngerich arranged the estate of the philologist Hugo Rabe , who had prepared an edition of the rhetorical work On the Expression of Demetrios . The edition was completed by Ludwig Radermacher , but was not published because the sentence burned in the printing works in 1943 during an air raid.

Ahlert was in the field from 1943 at the latest. During a home vacation that year he married Johanna Charlotte Elisabeth Niederwellend. Towards the end of the war, Ahlert is missing. At the request of his widow, the Bielefeld District Court declared him dead by a decision of March 21, 1951 and set the formal date December 31, 1945.
