Short Description: "Friedrich August Wilhelm Wenck (4 September 1741 in Idstein – 15 June 1810 in Leipzig) was a German historian. His older brother, Helfrich Bernhard Wenck (1739–1803), was also an historian.

Beginning in 1760 he studied history at the University of Erlangen, then in 1766–68, he worked as an assistant at the Darmstadt Pädagogium. In 1770 he acquired the academic degree of magister of philosophy, and during the following year, became an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Leipzig. In 1780 he succeeded Johann Gottlob Böhme (1717–1780) as professor of history at Leipzig. Within a twenty-year period (1784–1804), on five separate occasions, he served as university rector. In 1799 he was named president of the Societas Jablonoviana." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.07.2021)
