German literary historian and philologist
Edmund Goetze (26 September 1843, Dresden – 18 June 1920, Dresden) was a German literary historian and philologist.
He studied philology and archaeology at the University of Leipzig (1864–1868), where his instructors were Georg Curtius, Friedrich Wilhelm Ritschl, Johannes Overbeck and Friedrich Zarncke. He spent most of his career at the "Kadettenhaus" in the Wackerbarth-Palais in Dresden, serving as a professor (1871–1895) and as a director (1895–1909).
He was editor of various works composed by the 16th century meistersinger, Hans Sachs. After the death of Göttingen professor, Karl Goedeke, he edited ""Grundriss zur Geschichte der deutschen Dichtung aus den Quellen" (Outline on the history of German literature from its sources).
