Biography


Dietrich Kralik was born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary on 15 August 1884. He belonged to the Kralik von Meyrswalden family of Bohemian nobility, and was the son of philosopher Richard von Kralik and brother of musician Heinrich von Kralik. He received his Ph.D. in Germanic philology at the University of Vienna under the supervision of Rudolf Much.
Kralik served as a professor at the University of Würzburg from 1923 to 1924. In 1924 he was appointed a professor at the University of Vienna. Kralik was Dean of the Faculty for Philosophy of the University of Vienna from 1934 to 1935. Kralik became Member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in 1935, where he served as Head of the Dictionary Commission and Secretary of the Philosophical-Historical Class. Kralik was a known expert on the Nibelungenlied.
A member of the Nazi Party, Kralik was fired from the University of Vienna after the end of World War II. He was, like many other Nazi collaborators and party members, rehabilitated in 1949, and subsequently reappointed a professor at the University, eventually even becoming Head of the Institute for Germanic Studies. Kralik retired from his university duties in 1955, and was subsequently appointed an honorary professor. He was succeeded by Otto Höfler as Head of the Institute for Germanic Studies. Kralik died in Vienna on 27 December 1959, and is buried at the Döbling Cemetery.
