Rudolf Langhammer

Rudolf Anton Langhammer (born September 19, 1889 in Klösterle , † January 28, 1958 in Berlin ) was a German-speaking Czechoslovakian teacher, archivist and local history researcher.

Life

Langhammer was born in Klösterle an der Eger in 1889 as the son of the innkeeper Johann Langhammer and his wife Anna Fischer. He studied at the German Karl Ferdinand University in Prague and the University of Innsbruck . He completed his studies in 1918 with a doctoral thesis on historical folk songs as Dr. phil. from. He worked as a high school teacher in Eger and Pilsen , later he was director of the teacher training institute in Chomutov .

In the 1930s Langhammer published historical writings on the development of the Egerland as a professor at the German state teacher training institute for boys in Eger and director of the teacher training institute in Komotau . His work dealt with the robot during the time of hereditary submission , with the region around his hometown Klösterle - of which he became an honorary citizen in 1934 - and with the first phase of the Waldsassen monastery from 1136 to 1537. He thus expanded the history of the monastery of the humanist and Count Kaspar Brusch . The founding history of the monastery is closely linked to the history of the town of Eger, for example through the stone house , the land development in the Schönbacher Ländchen and the distribution of income from the Frais . Langhammer researched a. a. also the succession of the abbots of the monastery up to the Reformation . A planned second volume on the history of the monastery has apparently no longer appeared as a result of the occupation of the Sudetenland by troops of the German Reich after the Munich Agreement in 1938.

After the Second World War, Langhammer published in May 1945, as head of the Altmärkisches Museum and the city archive, writings on historic Stendal . From 1953 he lived in Berlin.
