Heinrich Heydemann
Heinrich Heydemann (28 August 1842, in Greifswald – 10 October 1889, in Halle an der Saale) was a German classical philologist and archaeologist, largely known for his studies of Greek and Roman vases.
He studied classical philology and archaeology at the universities of Tübingen, Bonn, Greifswald and Berlin, receiving his doctorate at the latter institution in 1865. While a student, his influences were philologist Conrad Bursian, art historian Anton Springer and archaeologist Eduard Gerhard.[1] Following graduation, he spent several years in Greece and Italy, devoting himself mainly to the study of ancient vases. In 1869 he obtained his habilitation for archaeology at the University of Berlin, and in 1873 became a directorial assistant at the Antiquarium of the Royal Museum in Berlin.[2][3]
In 1874 he was named an associate professor of archaeology at the University of Halle, where in 1882 he attained a full professorship. For a number of years he was editor of the publication Archäologischen Zeitung.[2][3]
