German classical archeologist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernhard Schweitzer (3 October 1892, in Wesel – 16 July 1966, in Tübingen) was a German classical archeologist.
From 1911-1917, he studied classical archaeology and philology in Heidelberg and Berlin. He received his doctorate in 1917 in Heidelberg under Friedrich von Duhn with a thesis on "Studies on the chronology of the geometric styles in Greece I".[1] In 1921, Bernhard Schweitzer studied in Heidelberg and in 1925 became a professor. He succeeded Herbert Koch in Leipzig.
In November 1933, he was one of the signers of the Confession of Professors at German universities and colleges to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist state. Schweitzer was not a member of the Nazi party, but only joined its affiliated social welfare organization, the National Socialist People's Welfare (Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt), in 1937.[2] In 1945, he became the first rector of the University of Leipzig to the end of the war. In 1948, he was the successor of Carl Watzinger at Tübingen, where he retired in 1960.
