Wilhelm Baehrens

Wilhelm Adolf Baehrens ( born September 3, 1885 in Groningen, † January 23, 1929 in Göttingen ) was a German classical scholar.

Life

Wilhelm Baehrens was the son of the Groningen professor of philology Baehrens Emil ( 1848-1888 ). He attended the grammar school of his native town and started after the final examination because he was unfit for military service, studying classical philology and Papyrology at the University of Groningen on. After semesters in Halle, Göttingen and Berlin Baehrens in 1910 received his doctorate in Groningen with the dissertation Panegyricorum Latinorum editionis novae Praefatio maior accedit Plinii panegyric. The following two years he worked as an assistant teacher at the grammar school of Groningen. In 1912, he published articles on Latin syntax. In 1913 he was commissioned by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences with the publication of the Latin homilies of Origen and traveled in this context until 1915 by Italy, France and Germany, to compare manuscripts. For his work he received from the University of Groningen in 1915 the venia legendi and was appointed by the German Government to full professor at Ghent University in 1916.

When, after the end of the First World War ended the German Occupation of Belgium, Baehrens in 1919 reported as a collaborator. The benevolence of the Halle professor Georg Wissowa enabled him in May 1919, the Umhabilitierung there. In October of the same year Baehrens gave his inaugural speech in Hall, 1920, he was appointed associate professor. In 1922 he was appointed professor at the University of Göttingen as a personal professor with the budget of a Extraordinarius. His Origines edition published 1920-1925, a copy of Fulgentius remained unfinished due to his early death. The preliminary work on this issue are now in the Lower Saxony State and University Library Göttingen.
