Ottokar Lorenz
Ottokar Lorenz (17 September 1832 – 13 May 1904) was an Austrian-German historian and genealogist. He was born in Iglau (now Jihlava, Czech Republic) and died in Jena. He was the father of chemist Richard Lorenz (1863-1929).
He studied philology, history and philosophy in Vienna, where his instructors included Hermann Bonitz, Joseph Aschbach and Albert Jäger. From 1861 to 1885, Lorenz was a professor of history at the University of Vienna, being appointed rector in 1880.[1] Afterwards, he was a professor at the University of Jena.
He was a founder of modern "scientific genealogy". Some of his better written efforts are as follows:
- Deutsche Geschichte im 13. und 14. Jahrhundert, (German history in the 13th and 14th centuries), two volumes (1863/67).
- Deutschlands Geschichtsquellen im Mittelalter seit der Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts [German history from the middle of the 13th Century]., two volumes, 1886-1887.[2]
- Genealogisches Handbuch der europäischen Staatengeschichte, (Genealogical textbook of European states history), (1892).
- Lehrbuch der wissenschaftlichen Genealogie, (Textbook of scientific genealogy), (1898).
