Karl Hampe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl Hampe (1889 - 1936) was a German historian of the Middle Ages, particularly the history of the Empire in the High Middle Ages. Hampe was born in Bremen and graduated from Berlin in 1902, when he was appointed to a professorship in Heidelberg. Hampe remained there until 1933 when he refused to cooperate with the increasing pressure put on universities by the new Nazi-led government of Germany and resigned his professorship.
Hampe's major historical works include Deutsche Kaisergeschichte in der Zeit der Salier und Staufer and Das Hochmittelalter.
