Heinrich Schliemann is remembered in technology for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Heinrich Schliemann as German businessman and archaeologist (1822–1890).
Heinrich Schliemann was born at Neubukow in 1822. His recorded nationality is Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. He was educated at University of Rostock and University of Paris.
The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.
Heinrich Schliemann is described as businessperson, art historian and archaeologist.
Among his principal works are Ithaca, the Peloponnese, and Troy, Trojanische Alterthümer and Troja. The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
His recorded fields of work are archaeology and trade.
His work was formally recognised with the honorary citizen of Berlin, Royal Gold Medal and Honorary doctor of the University of Oxford.
Working from Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Death came in 1890, at 68. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
