Julius Naue


Julius Naue was a German painter, illustrator and archaeologist.
A student of August von Kreling, he came to work for Moritz von Schwind in Munich where he remained until 1866.
As an archaeologist, Naue held a presentation on prehistoric swords, specifically Bronze Age swords, for the Anthropological Society in Munich in 1884. The "Naue" type of Bronze Age swords is named in his honour.
Naue was an autodidact, and published various smaller treatises for which he proceeded to compile in a dissertation at Tübingen University in 1887, Die Hügelgräber zwischen Ammer- und Staffelsee'.
He also planned a multi-volume work on "The Bronze Age in Upper Bavaria", but only published the first volume in 1894.
