Biographical Note

Georg Steindorff was born in Dessau, Germany, on November 12, 1861. He studied Egyptology and oriental languages at the University of Göttingen, earning a Ph.D. in 1884. After working at the State Museum and lecturing at the University of Berlin for nearly a decade, Steindorff was appointed Professor of Egyptology at the University of Leipzig in 1893. At Leipzig Steindorff co-founded and led the Ägyptologische Institut (Egyptian Institute) for forty-two years, filling its collections with purchased antiquities and with artifacts excavated at Giza, Tjebu, Aniba, and elsewhere. A prolific author, Professor Steindorff wrote

1 for both scholarly and popular presses. For more than four decades he also served as editor of his discipline’s leading journal, Zeitschrift für Ägyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde.

On April 19, 1887 Georg Steindorff married Elise Oppenheimer, the sister of sociologist Franz Oppenheimer and daughter of Berlin Reform Rabbi Julius Oppenheimer. After the publication of the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, Dr. Steindorff lost his position at the Egyptian Institute due to his Jewish lineage even though he had converted to Protestantism decades earlier. In 1939 the Steindorffs sought refuge in the United States, locating near Los Angeles, where Dr. Steindorff continued to consult and publish until his death in 1951.
