Leuphana
This article describes the historical place Leuphana. For information about the University of the same name, see Leuphana Universität Lüneburg.
Leuphana (Λευφάνα)is a city name, first mentioned by Ptolemy in the year 150 in the Atlas Geographia.
Ptolemy mentioned in Geographica 2, 10 cities, unified by their not being under Roman occupation, created a settlement named Leuphana. Johann Grässe put Leuphana in his place name dictionary on par with Lüneburg. .[1] Ptolemy mentioned a large number of German settled settlements that were not under Roman occupation, such as Ascalingium.
After Günnewig, Leuphana is located on the lowest stretch of the Elbe. People don't know, however, which side of the Elbe. One must suspect that Leuphana is near Hamburg, Dömitz (Mecklenburg) or in the area Near Altmark.[2]
Ptolemy possibly made a mistake, as well about Grässe. He could have confused it with Levefanum, that was located on the left side of the Rhein. Because Ptolemy had demonstrably identified poleis incorrectly as well, the suspicion is very possible. Even the nomenclature expert Jürgen Udolph has the opinion that "Leuphana" has nothing to do with Lüneburg.[3] His opinion on the matter is supported by his colleagues.[4]
Research, by the Institute for Geodesy of the Technical University of Berlin, into a geodesic deformation analysis of the Ptolemaic map came to the result that it is probably near Leufana, to the east of Lüneburg on the Elbe, located next to Hitzacker[5], that speaks in favor of the correctness of the Ptolemaic localization. This finding is supported through the archaeological excavations in Marwedel near Hitzacker, where the University of Göttingen and the Free University of Berlin and their archaeologists Olaf Fabian and Ivonne Baier located a settlement from the time period of 78/80 to 225.[6] In 1928 and 1944, the graves of Chieftains from Marwedel were found, two elite tombs with rich grave offerings from the Germanic time of 150.
Since March 20, 2007, the University of Lüneburg has been named "Leuphana".[7] The advertising agency Scholz and Friends of Hamburg proposed the name change to the University board in 2006.[8]
