Live and act

Weißbrodt attended grammar school in Trier until 1857 and then initially studied Catholic theology. From 1863 he studied classical philology at the Theological and Pedagogical Academy in Münster , where he received his doctorate on April 16, 1869 with a dissertation on the development of consonant doubling in Latin under Franz Winiewski . In September 1869 Weissbrodt became an associate professor of philology at the Philosophical Faculty of the Lyceum Hosianum in Braunsberg, and from 1873 until his death he was a full professor there. There he began to build an "Antique Archaeological Cabinet" which, in addition to casts, included numerous antique inscriptions and small finds.
