Karl Purgold
Karl Purgold (28 December 1850, in Gotha – 25 June 1939, in Gotha) was a German classical archaeologist and museum director.
In 1878 he received his doctorate from the University of Munich, where he was a student of Heinrich Brunn. Following graduation, he travelled the Mediterranean region by way of a grant from the German Archaeological Institute (1878–80).[1] From 1890 until his retirement in 1934 he was director of the Ducal Museum Gotha, only the second-ever holder of that post.[2]
He took part in the excavations at Olympia, Greece, being tasked with providing analysis of ancient inscriptions.[3] With Wilhelm Dittenberger, he edited Die inschriften von Olympia, based on the inscriptions found at Olympia.
