Wilhelm Wackernagel (1806–1869)

Wilhelm Wackernagel (23 April 1806, Berlin – 21 December 1869, Basel) was a German-Swiss philologist specializing in Germanic studies. He was the father of Indo-Europeanist Jacob Wackernagel.

He studied Classical and Germanic literature at the University of Berlin as a pupil of August Boeckh and Karl Lachmann. In 1833 he moved to Basel, where from 1835 to 1869, he was a professor of German language and literature at the university. While at Basel, he turned down offers for professorships in Berlin, Munich, Tübingen and Vienna.[1][2]

Works[edit]

He was considered the leading Germanist after the death of Jacob Grimm in 1863.[2] A number of Wackernagel's significant works were published posthumously. The following are some of his principal writings:
