Liste der Klassischen Philologen an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum

The list of classical philologists at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum lists renowned university teachers of this subject who worked at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB), which was founded in 1962.

The Department of Classical Philology was founded in 1965 with two full professorships, focusing on Greek and Latin Studies respectively. The first holders were Hellmut Flashar and Godo Lieberg. In 1968 a third chair of Classical Philology was established, which was held by Robert Schröter. After the founding professors, Bernd Effe, Gerhard Binder and Siegmar Döpp held the professorships. Döpp’s successor was Reinhold F. Glei in 1996. The professorships for Greek and Latin Studies I were converted into C3 and W2 positions in 2003 and 2006, respectively.
