Biography

Life

Felix Liebermann was born in 1851 in Berlin, then the capital of Prussia. He came from a Jewish-German family; his older brother was the painter Max Liebermann. Felix first pursued a career in banking and the textile industry, living for a time in Manchester, England. In 1873, he moved to Göttingen, Germany, to study early English history. Georg Waitz and Reinhold Pauli became his mentors. After his promotion in 1875 on the "Dialogue of the Exchequer" (Dialogus de Scaccario), he rapidly earned a name for himself as a medievalist with a special focus on England. He served as an editor with the Monumenta Germaniae Historica from 18771885. In 1896, he received honorary degrees from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge and later, the title of professor of history from the Prussian minister of justice Robert Bosse. He died in a car accident in Berlin in 1925.
