PRUTZ, HANS (1843– ) , See also:German historian, son of See also:Robert Eduard Prutz (1816-1872), the essayist and historian; was See also:born at See also:Jena on the loth of May 1843, and was educated at the See also:universities of Jena and See also:Berlin. In 1865 appeared his monograph on See also:Henry the See also:Lion, See also:duke of See also:Saxony and See also:Bavaria, which was followed by three volumes on the See also:emperor See also:Frederick See also:Barbarossa (Kaiser See also:Friedrich I., See also:Danzig, 1871-1874). Meanwhile from 1863 to 1873 he was teaching in secondary See also:schools. In 1874 he received a See also:government See also:commission to undertake explorations in See also:Syria, particularly at See also:Tyre, and as a result he published in 1876 Aus Phonicien, a collection of See also:historical and See also:geographical sketches. In the same See also:year appeared his first See also:work on the See also:Crusades, Quellenbeitrage zur Geschichte der Kreuzziige, and a See also:series of monographs on the same subject culminated in 1883 in the notable Kulturgeschichte der Kreuzziige. Then turning to a wider theme Prutz contributed to Oncken's university See also:history the two volumes on the See also:political history of See also:Europe during the See also:middle ages (Staatengeschichte See also:des Abendlandes See also:im Mittelalter, Berlin, 1885–1887). In 1888 he reverted to a subject which he had touched upon in his Geheimlehre and Geheimstatuten des Tempelherrenordens (Danzig, 1879), and wrote the history of the rise and fall of the See also:Templars (Entwickelung and Untergang des Tempelkerrenordens), which is noticed in the See also:article TEMMPLAxs. His Preussische Geschichte (4 vols., See also:Stuttgart, 1899-1902), which is perhaps his most notable work, is an See also:attempt to apply scientific rather than patriotic canons to a subject which has been mainly in the hands of historians with a patriotic See also:bias. He also wrote Aus des Grossen Kurfursten letzien Jahren (Berlin, 1897) and Bismarcks Bildung, ihre Quellen and ihre Ausserungen (Berlin, 1904). In 1902 Prutz resigned the See also:chair of history in the university of See also:Konigsberg, which he had held since 1877, and took up his See also:residence at See also:Munich.
