Life

Rudolf Weynand, the son of a merchant, attended the community school and then began training as a goldsmith in 1888 , which he completed in 1891. He then went to the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium in Trier, where he graduated from the school in 1895. From 1896 he studied classical philology, archeology and history at the University of Bonn ; in addition, he worked from 1899 as an assistant teacher at the grammar school in Birkenfeld. In 1901 he completed his studies in Bonn with a doctorate and state examination. In his doctoral thesis De cipporum Germaniae Romanorum ornamentis , he dealt for the first time with provincial Roman archeology, which remained one of his main research areas.

Through the mediation of his academic teacher Franz Bücheler , Weynand received an assistant position at the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae in Munich in 1901 . He wrote numerous articles for the company's first two volumes, which include the letters A and B. In this work Weynand deepened his command of the Latin language.

After the assistant position expired in 1903, Weynand went to the Hohenzollern-Gymnasium in Düsseldorf to begin the probationary year for secondary school service. Due to his practical experience as an assistant teacher, he was waived the probationary year and on October 1, 1903 Weynand was permanently employed as a senior teacher. Since 1906 he has been in charge of the historical museum of the city of Düsseldorf. From October 1908 to May 1909 he took a leave of absence from school service for a study trip to Italy and Greece.

On October 1, 1912, Weynand moved to the State High School in Wesel, which he headed as director from July 1, 1917. Two years later he moved to the Johanneum Lüneburg , which at that time was divided into a high school and a real train. From 1923 to 1927 Weynand was director of the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Kassel. On April 1, 1927, he went to Magdeburg as a high school supervisor, where he worked until his retirement in 1937. He spent his old age in Wiesbaden.

Rudolf Weynand wrote a Greek reading and exercise book (Palaistra) for school lessons , along with a concise grammar and several abridged text editions. In the Provincial Roman Archeology he emerged after his dissertation through several essays, literature reports and reviews. He wrote an extensive article on the Flavians for the realcyclopedia of classical antiquity .
