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.
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.
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.
