Wilhelm Stieda
Wilhelm Christian Hermann Stieda (* 1 April . Jul / 13. April 1852 greg. In Riga , † 21st October 1933 in Leipzig ) was a German economist , economic historian and social reformer .
Life
In addition to studying economics and political science at the universities in Dorpat, Berlin, Paris and Strasbourg, Wilhelm Stieda devoted himself to studying history and social policy in Strasbourg, thanks to the influence of his teacher Gustav Schmoller . As a student in Dorpat he was a member of the Fraternitas Rigensis . Stieda still devoted himself to statistical topics in his doctoral thesis, but with his habilitation in Strasbourg on the "emergence of the German guild system" in 1876, his real interest became clear.
Throughout her life, Stieda worked primarily in the field of trade and business history as well as social policy and thus revised Wilhelm Roscher's economics of trade and industry .
Since 1876 he had chairs in Strasbourg, Dorpat and Rostock, before he accepted a call to the University of Leipzig in 1898 and accepted the chair for economics. From 1916 to 1917 he was also rector of the university. Since 1904 he was a full member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences . He was an honorary doctor of the University of Leipzig. He was also a member of the General Evangelical Lutheran Conference .
Edition of the Veckinchusen letters
Above all, Stieda's edition of the letters by the Hanseatic merchant Hildebrand Veckinchusen is commendable . Since not only an extensive corpus of letters from this merchant, but also some merchant books, some of which have now been edited, have come down to us, his importance for Hanseatic research should not be underestimated. Stieda's letter edition is still in use today and has not yet been replaced by a current edition.
