Wilhelm Müller-Wismar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilhelm Müller-Wismar was a German ethnographer (May 20, 1881 - October 10, 1916) who was a native of Wismar.
In 1905 he graduated from the University of Berlin, where he studied ethnography and anthropology under Felix von Luschan (1854-1924).
From 1908 to 1910 he was a member of a scientific mission to the South Pacific that was coordinated by Georg Thilenius (1868-1937) of the Hamburg Museum of Ethnography. On this expedition Müller-Wismar spent nine months on the island of Yap, of which he later published an important scientific treatise. He also took part in the Berlin-Indonesian expedition to the South Moluccas in 1913-14. Müller-Wismar died from typhoid on October 10, 1916 at the age of 35 in Malang, Java.
