Friedrich Philippi

Gustav Friedrich Dettmar Philippi (14 July 1853, in Elberfeld - 26 April 1930, in Münster) was a German archivist and historian.

He studied philology at the University of Bonn, receiving his doctorate in 1876 with a dissertation on the Tabula Peutingeriana.[1] Following graduation, he worked as an archivist at the state archives in Münster. In 1888, he was appointed head of the state archives in Osnabrück and, in 1897, returned to Münster as director of the archives.[2][3]

He served as chairman of the Historical Commission for Westphalia and was an honorary professor at the University of Münster. He was also in charge of the archaeological excavation at Haltern.[2]
