Alfred Brueckner
Alfred Brueckner (7 September 1861, in Magdeburg – 15 January 1936, in Berlin) was a German classical archaeologist. He was a specialist in Greek funerary art.
In 1886, he obtained his PhD at the University of Strasbourg, where he was a student of Adolf Michaelis. From 1888 to 1890, via a travel scholarship from the Deutschen Archäologischen Institut (DAI), he visited Greece and Asia Minor. Until 1924 (year of retirement) he taught classes at Prinz-Heinrichs-Gymnasium in Schöneberg. He was a member of the Deutschen Archäologischen Institut (since 1892) and the Archäologischen Gesellschaft zu Berlin.[1]
In 1893, under Wilhelm Dörpfeld, he participated in excavatory work at Troy,[2] and for a number of years, conducted excavations at Kerameikos in Athens.[3] He made significant contributions as an editor of Alexander Conze's Die attischen grabreliefs, a project involving Attican funerary reliefs (1893-1922).[4]
