Ernst Wangermann

Ernst Wangermann (born 22 January 1925 in Vienna; died 26 November 2021[1]) was an Austrian historian.

Life

Wangermann emigrated with his family from Austria to Britain in 1939, due to the anti-Semitism his family faced there. He studied at Balliol College, Oxford. After receiving his doctorate in 1953, he was associate professor of general modern history at the University of Leeds, and from 1984 to 1995 full professor of Austrian history at the Institute for History at the University of Salzburg. In 1997, he was the recipient of a Festschrift.[2]
