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
2
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.
