Peter Garlic

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Knoblauch (born August 13, 1911 in Berlin ; † 1945 ) was a German classical archaeologist .

Peter Knoblauch studied in 1930/31 and 1934/35 with Paul Jacobsthal at the University of Marburg , in between with Herbert Koch at the University of Halle . In 1933/34 he inventoried and worked on the Minoan , Mycenaean , Greek and Roman antiquities in the Robertinum . His inventory numbers are still valid today. The planned doctorate in Marburg bei Jacobsthal did not materialize because he was relieved of his teaching post in 1935 for racial reasons. Knoblauch received his doctorate in Halle in 1938 with the highly praised work Studies on Archaic Greek Tonbildnerei in Crete, Rhodes, Athens and Boeotia . Subsequently, he got into trouble with the Reich Ministry of Education because he had also thanked Jewish friends in the preface to the dissertation . As the holder of the Wülfing grant , Knoblauch has been able to dig in Megalopolis since 1939 as an employee of the Athens branch of the German Archaeological Institute . In 1939 he researched the theater, in 1940 the Zeus Temple . In 1987/88 the archaeologist Hans Lauter Knoblauch's estate found in the archaeological seminar of the University of Marburg. There were over 70 construction drawings, a diary and a negative film documenting the surveying and excavation campaign. With the help of the documents, Lauter was able to clarify long controversial questions about megalopolis. Garlic himself could no longer process his research. He was drafted into the Wehrmacht in the winter of 1940/41 and took part in the Second World War. He died in 1945.
