He studied German and English philology at the universities of Berlin and Leipzig, and following military service in the Franco-Prussian War, he continued his education at the University of Marburg. In 1873 he obtained his habilitation for English philology at the University of Leipzig, where he later taught classes as an associate professor of English language and literature (1875–80), then served as a full professor from 1880 to 1910.
In 1877, with Moritz Trautmann, he founded the journal Anglia, which he edited until 1890. From 1888 onward, he was a member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences. In 1900 he was named a Saxon privy court councilor." - (en.wikipedia.org 12.08.2021) - Entity Encoding
