Karl Hampe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Hampe (3 February 1869 – 14 February 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. He died in Heidelberg.

Hampe's major historical works include Deutsche Kaisergeschichte in der Zeit der Salier und Staufer and Das Hochmittelalter.
