Wreszinski was born in Mogilno on 18 March 1880.[1] He studied in Leipzig from 1898 to 1899, then in Berlin from 1899 to 1904 (under Adolf Erman). During this period he worked on the Dictionary of the Egyptian language. In Berlin, he graduated in 1904 with a dissertation on The High Priest of Amon.
Careeredit
Following his graduation, he moved to Königsberg in 1909, initially as a lecturer, then from 1920 as honorary associate professor, and from 1927 as associate professor.
From 1921 to 1931 Wreszinski was editor of the Orientalist literature journal.
In 1934, after the Law for the Restoration of Civil Service was passed by the Nazi Party led government, Wreszinski lost his professorship by reason of his Jewish ancestry.
The five-volume Atlas of Ancient Egyptian Culture History is considered Wreszinski's masterpiece.
