life and work

Vaupel was born the son of a railway chief secretary. In 1912 he graduated from the Wilhelmsgymnasium Kassel and then studied history and German in Marburg and Berlin . As a student he became a member of the Christian Wingolf associations in Marburg and Charlottenburg. In 1919 he received his doctorate under Edmund E. Stengel with a dissertation on the Chartulare of the Fulda Monastery in Marburg.

After the state examination for the higher service in 1920, he was seconded to the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam , where he was appointed State Archives Council in 1923. From 1928 he served in the Brandenburg-Prussian house archive in Berlin-Charlottenburg , whose director he was appointed in April 1929. Vaupel was appointed director of the State Archives in Wiesbaden in 1933.

From 1938 to 1945 he was head of the Hessian State Archives in Marburg . In 1939 he was given a teaching position at the Philipps University of Marburg , where he was made an honorary professor in 1943. In 1944 he became a lecturer at the Marburg department of the Institute for Archival Studies and Historical Studies , Berlin-Dahlem . From 1939 until his death he was a member of the Historical Commission for Hesse and from 1935 to the Historical Commission for Nassau , of which he was chairman from September 1936 to August 1938.

After Vaupel's sudden death, the American military government, which had set up the Marburg Central Collecting Point in the State Archives at the end of the war, temporarily appointed archivist Ewald Gutbier as director. This was followed in 1946 by Ludwig Dehio , with whom Vaupel had had a collegial friendship since their training in Berlin.
