Wilhelm Schulze, the son of the postal worker Rudolf Schulze and his wife Dina born. Denhardt, after graduating from high school in Burgsteinfurt, studied comparative linguistics and classical philology in Berlin from 1881 (with Johannes Schmidt ). In 1883 he moved to Greifswald to join Heinrich Zimmer , Adolph Kießling and Georg Kaibel , where he received his doctorate in 1887. His dissertation was published in an expanded form in 1892 under the title Quaestiones epicae . A few years after his habilitation (1890), Schulze was appointed professor of classical philology at the University of Marburg in 1892 . In 1895 he moved to Göttingen to take the chair for Indo-European Linguistics. He found his final place of work in Berlin, where he took over the chair of his late teacher Johannes Schmidt in 1902. Here he taught and researched until his retirement in 1932.
Schulze represented a philologically oriented linguistics and used sources from many languages for his research. His main research interests were Latin and Greek (metrics and language of the Greek epic, Latin personal names), but he also dealt with general Indo-European topics. For example, he worked with Emil Sieg and Wilhelm Siegling , the discoverers of Tocharian texts in Central Asia, on the grammatical development of this language. Her Tocharian grammar was published in 1931 .
