Johannes Falke
Johannes, or Johann Friedrich Gottlieb Falke (20 April 1823 – 2 March 1876) was a German historian.
He was born at
With the aid of the manuscript collections in the museum he now turned his attention chiefly to political history, and, with Johann H. Müller, established a historical journal under the name of "Zeitschrift für deutsche Kulturgeschichte" (4 volumes, Nuremberg, 1856-1859). To this journal he contributed a history of German taxation and commerce. On the latter subject he published separately Geschichte des deutschen Handels (2 volumes, Leipzig, 1859-1860) and Die Hansa als deutsche See- und Handelsmacht (Berlin, 1862).[1]
In 1862 he was appointed secretary of the state archives at Dresden, and, a little later, keeper. There he began the study of Saxon history, still devoting his attention chiefly to the history of commerce and economy, and published Die Geschichte des Kurfürsten August von Sachsen in volkswirthschaftlicher Beziehung (Leipzig, 1868) and Geschichte des deutschen Zollwesens (Leipzig, 1869). He died at Dresden.[1]
