Life
Walther Schubring was a son of the classical philologist Julius Schubring .
As a student of Ernst Leumann (1859–1931) in Strasbourg , he specialized in Jainism research. From 1907 on he worked at the Prussian State Library in Berlin , whose Jaina manuscripts he later cataloged. In 1917 he completed his habilitation and in 1920 was appointed to the Indology chair at the University of Hamburg , where he taught until his retirement . In November 1933 he signed the German professors' confession of Adolf Hitler . In 1938 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences .
Walther Schubring owned an autograph of the Bach cantata Alone zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ (BWV 33), which was probably given to his grandfather Julius Schubring by his friend Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy . It was sold through the Stargardt auction house in 1965, is now in the Scheide Library at Princeton University and has been digitized.
