Timeline

1900

Heinrich Besseler (April 2, 1900 – July 25, 1969) was a German musicologist born in Hörde.

1923

In 1923 he obtained a doctoral degree in musicology from the University of Freiburg.

The subject of his thesis was the history and stylistic development of dance suites in seventeenth-century Germany.

After further studies at the University of Göttingen, he wrote a professorial thesis on medieval music, spanning the years between 1250 and 1350.

1928

From 1928 he taught at the University of Heidelberg.

1931

He is particularly known for his colossal work, Die Musik des Mittelalters und der Renaissance (1931), which provided a new perspective on historical musicology by taking a history-of-ideas approach to music history.

Besseler studied philosophy (under Martin Heidegger), German language, mathematics and natural science in Freiburg im Breisgau.

Subsequently, he studied music (under Hans Gál) and musicology (under Wilibald Gurlitt, Guido Adler and Wilhelm Fischer) in Vienna and Freiburg.

1934

In 1934, Besseler became a member of the Sturmabteilung.

While admittedly failing to distance himself from National Socialism, he did come into some conflicts with Herbert Gerigk, the most notorious antisemitic musicologist in Germany.

1949

From 1949 to 1956 he taught at the University of Jena, and from 1957 to 1965 at the University of Leipzig.

1967

He was awarded an honorary doctorate at the University of Chicago in 1967, and died in Leipzig two years later.
