Otto Benndorf (September 13, 1838 – January 2, 1907) was a German-Austrian archaeologist who was a native of Greiz. He was the father of physicist Hans Benndorf (1870–1953). He studied under Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker (1784–1868), Otto Jahn (1813–1869) and Friedrich Ritschl (1806–1876) at the University of Bonn. Later, he worked as an instructor at Schulpforta, where one of his students was Friedrich Nietzsche. From 1864 to 1868 he was a member of a scientific expedition that toured Italy (Rome), Sicily, Greece and Asia Minor.〔(NDB/ADB Deutsche Biographie )〕 In 1868 he obtained his habilitation at the University of Göttingen under the guidance of Friedrich Wieseler (1811–1892). In 1869 he became an associate professor of archaeology at the University of Zurich, relocating to University of Munich in 1871 and to Prague the following year. With Alexander Conze (1831–1914), he took part in the second Austrian archaeological expedition to Samothrace (1875). Two years later, he succeeded Conze as chair of archaeology at the University of Vienna. Among his students at Vienna were Michael Rostovtzeff (1870–1952), Julius von Schlosser (1866–1938) and Franz Studniczka (1860–1929). In 1881–82, he excavated the so-called "Heroon of Trysa" in Lycia, shipping more than 100 boxes of material to the ''Kunsthistorisches Museum'' in Vienna. With Carl Humann (1839–1896), he organized an excavation of Ephesus (1895). In 1898 he founded the ''Österreichische Archäologische Institut'' (Austrian Archaeological Institute), serving as its director until his death in 1907. == References == * (Dictionary of Art Historians ) A Biographical Dictionary of Historic Scholars, Museum Professionals and Academic Historians of Art. * This article contains some information based on a translation of an equivalent article at the German Wikipedia. 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「Otto Benndorf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
