Eduard Ausfeld (1850–1906)

Heinrich Eduard Ausfeld (27 May 1850, Schnepfenthal bei Gotha – 4 April 1906, Magdeburg) was a German archivist and historian.

Following studies at several German universities, he obtained his doctorate in 1880 at the University of Marburg. Subsequently he worked at the Staatsarchiv (state archives) in Idstein (trainee status), Wiesbaden (from 1881), Koblenz (from 1892) and Magdeburg (from 1897). In 1898 he succeeded George Adalbert von Mülverstedt (1825–1914) as director of archives at Magdeburg. In Magdeburg he took part in plans for construction of a new archives building on Augustastraße (now Hegelstraße), which first opened for business in 1908, two years after his death.[1]

Ausfeld was a member of the Historischen Kommission für die Provinz Sachsen und das Herzogtum Anhalt (Historical Commission for the Province of Saxony and the Duchy of Anhalt) and the Geschichtsverein und dem Verein für Nassauische Altertumskunde und Geschichte (Historical Society and the Association of Nassau Archaeology and History).
