Richard Krummel

Richard Frank Krummel (born August 4, 1925 in Buffalo , New York , † December 30, 2017 in Edina , Minnesota ) was an American German studies scholar .

Krummel dealt with the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche from an early age . After the Second World War he lived as a soldier in the US Army in West Berlin , later as an editor and antiquarian . There he also met his wife Evelyn, who was an employee of the antiquarian Gerd Rosen at the time. In 1953 the couple returned to the United States, where Richard Krummel studied at the University of Buffalo ; however, they went back to Germany in 1957, where Richard Krummel worked as a teacher. In 1961 Krummel returned to the USA and received his doctorate in 1971 from the University of Kentucky with the thesis " Nietzsche and the German Spirit". From 1966 until his retirement in 1999 he taught as a professor of German studies at Bemidji State University in Minnesota . From 1975 to 2005, Krummel was editor of the bilingual (English / German) magazine Germanic Notes and Reviews.

His dissertation forms the basis of the now internationally recognized four-volume analytical bibliography Nietzsche and the German Spirit , partly with the collaboration of Evelyn S. Krummel. Richard Krummel's private collection, on which the work Nietzsche and the German Spirit is based, was bought by the city of Naumburg in 2001 and passed into the care of the Friedrich Nietzsche Foundation .
