Ludwig Friedländer
Ludwig Henrich Friedlaender (July 16, 1824 Königsberg – December 16, 1909 Straßburg, German Empire) was a German philologist.
He studied at the universities of his hometown Königsberg, Leipzig, and Berlin from 1841 to 1845. In 1847 he became privat-docent of classical philology at Königsberg, in 1856 assistant professor, and in 1858 professor.
He retired in 1892 to Strasbourg, where he was honorary professor at its university.
Although Jewish, he embraced Christianity.
