Pierre Bertaux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pierre Bertaux (8 October 1907 in Lyon – 14 August 1986 in Saint-Cloud, Hauts-de-Seine) was a noted Resistant and French Germanist. While holding administrative positions, he also wrote on Friedrich Hölderlin. He participated in the French resistance (in Toulouse where he instaured Charles De Gaulle's authority during the liberation of France) and was, after the war, a high French police officer.
In 1968 he founded an Institute for Germanistics at the New Sorbonne in Asnières. In 1970 he received the Goethe-Medaille, and in 1975 the Heinrich-Heine-Preis of the city of Düsseldorf. He had three sons, two of whom have become renowned academics on their own right: Daniel Bertaux, Jean-Loup Bertaux
