Max Lehmann (historian)

Max Lehmann (19 May 1845, in Berlin – 8 October 1929, in Göttingen) was a German historian.

He studied philology and history at the universities of Königsberg, Bonn and Berlin, receiving his doctorate at the latter institution in 1867.

A year later, he succeeded Max Lenz at Marburg as a professor of history.

In 1893 he was appointed to a similar position at the University of Leipzig, and later the same year, relocated to the University of Göttingen as a professor of medieval and modern history.
