Wilhelm Junghans

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl August Wilhelm Junghans (born May 3, 1834 in Lüneburg , † January 27, 1865 ) was a German historian and medievalist.

His father was the principal at the grammar school in Lüneburg. Junghans studied classical philology with Friedrich Ritschl at the University of Bonn from 1853 and history with Georg Waitz at the University of Göttingen (doctorate in 1856). He then dealt with source editions on the history of Northern Germany and first went to Johann Martin Lappenberg in Hamburg and then to the Historical Commission of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in Munich, in order to publish files of the Hanseatic League on the recommendation of Lappenberg. He also travels to London, Copenhagen, the Rhineland, the Netherlands and Westphalia and also to Skåne . In 1862 he became professor in Kiel as the successor to Karl Wilhelm Nitzsch and turned to Schleswig-Holstein history. However, he died soon afterwards at the age of 30 in 1865. His notes, especially on the Hanseatic relations to England and Scandinavia, were later used by the publishers in the Hanseatic document books.

He is best known for his book on Childerich I and Clovis I (his dissertation), which was translated into French by Gabriel Monod in 1879.

Junghans was secretary of the Royal Schleswig-Holstein-Lauenburg Society for the collection and preservation of patriotic antiquities in Kiel.
