Friedrich Maurer (5 January 1898 – 7 November 1984) was a German linguist and medievalist. == Biography == Maurer studied classical philology and comparative linguistics at the University of Frankfurt, starting 1916. The same year, he was drafted and in 1917 he was gravely injured while fighting at the Western Front of World War I,〔 causing him to spend the following period recovering in a military hospital at Heidelberg. After the war had ended, Maurer commenced full-time studies of Germanistics at Heidelberg University (1918) and Giessen (1919), where he also took courses in classical philology and Indo-European studies. Both at Heidelberg and at Giessen, Maurer was a member of the local chapters of the Wingolf. Maurer obtained a doctorate under the supervision of Otto Behaghel in 1922, who was to have a lasting influence on Maurer's work. He then obtained a habilitation in German philology in 1925, becoming professor extraordinarius in 1929, still at Giessen, and subsequently professor ordinarius at Erlangen (1931). Having previously been a member of Stahlhelm, Maurer joined the SA after the Nazi ''Machtergreifung'' but left the organisation in 1935. He joined the Nazi Party in 1937,〔 as well as the NS Teachers League, the NS-Dozentenbund and the NS-Altherrenbund. In the same year, he became a full professor at Freiburg, where he was to chair the Institute for German Philology until retiring in 1966. From 1938/1939, Maurer worked with the Ahnenerbe. After World War II, the allied military government of Germany called on Maurer, who then founded scientific institutes at the partially destroyed University of Freiburg and the University of Erlangen. In 1958 and 1959, Maurer chaired the League of German Scholars and co-founded the Institute for the German Language (''Institut für Deutsche Sprache'', IDS) at Mannheim. In 1979, Maurer fell gravely ill and had to cease his work. He died in 1984. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friedrich Maurer (linguist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
