Short Description: "Friedrich Wilhelm von Giesebrecht (5 March 1814 – 17 December 1889) was a German historian.

He was born in Berlin, the son of Karl Giesebrecht (died 1832), and a nephew of the poet Ludwig Giesebrecht (1792–1873).

He studied under Leopold von Ranke, and his first important work, Geschichte Ottos II., was contributed to Ranke´s Jahrbücher des deutschen Reichs unter dem sächsischen Hause (Berlin, 1837–1840). In 1841 he published his Jahrbücher des Klosters Altaich, a reconstruction of the lost Annales Altahenses, a medieval source of which fragments only were known to be extant, and these were obscured in other chronicles. The brilliance of this performance was shown in 1867, when a copy of the original chronicle was found, and it was seen that Giesebrecht´s text was substantially correct." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.01.2020)
