Georg Koës

Georg Hendrick Carl Koës (1782–1811) was a Danish philologist of the early 19th century.

Both were zealously attached to the study of antiquities and the tastes and interests they held in common led them, in 1810, to join an expedition to Greece with Otto Magnus von Stackelberg, Carl Haller von Hallerstein, the German painter Jakob Linckh, and the then Austrian consul in Greece George Christian Gropius.

He was buried at the house of consul Lunzi on the island (Brøndsted was away in Thessaly at the time).

The expedition continued and, when Brøndsted returned to Copenhagen in 1813, he married Georg's sister Frederikke.

Koes had been engaged to his cousin Caroline Falch (7 November 1790 – 10 November 1856), daughter of Andreas Falch (1748–1797) and Charlotte Sophie Suhr (1756–1822), before leaving for Paris, and on his death she married Theodor Suhr the elder (1792–1858) around 1816.
