Hermann Alexander Schlögl (22 July 1932 – 14 January 2023) was a German actor and Egyptologist.[1]
Born in Munich on 22 July 1932, Hermann was the youngest son of politician Alois Schlögl and the brother of historian Waldemar Schlögl.[2] He studied literature and theatre at LMU Munich, while at the same time taking acting lessons. He started off as an actor at the Theater Ulm and at the Wuppertaler Bühnen. He also took on roles in film, such as in Andreas Voest, directed by Eberhard Itzenplitz.[3]
Schlögl began studying Egyptology, archeology, and ancient history and graduated from the University of Basel in 1976 with the thesis Der Gott auf der Blüte. He directed the Swiss Bank Corporation's exhibition "Geschenk des Nils", which was shown at various museums across Switzerland for two years. He taught at the University of Fribourg from 1980 to 2000. He contributed to the Lexikon der Ägyptologie.
Schlögl died in Basel on 14 January 2023, at the age of 90.[4]
