Horst Wolfgang Böhme

Horst Wolfgang Böhme (born May 1, 1940 in Szczecin) is a German archaeologist with a focus on Late Antiquity / Early Middle Ages and research into castles.

Life

Böhme studied prehistory, Roman provincial archaeology, history and folklore in Kiel, Mainz and Munich.

In 1968 he completed a doctorate on Germanic grave finds from the 4th to the 5th century between the lower Elbe and Loire.

In 1970 he was head of department at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, then in 1972 assistant and later director of the Early Medieval Department of the Romano-Germanic Central Museum (Mainz).

With the large Salian dynasty exhibition in 1991 Böhme went into medieval archeology. The then resulting anthologies to rural settlements and castles gave impetus to the research. From 1992 until his retirement in 2005 he was a professor of ancient history and medieval archeology at the University of Marburg.

Böhme is a member of the German Archaeological Institute and the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Castles Association.
