Moritz Trautmann (24 March 1842, in Klöden – 23 April 1920, in Frankfurt) was a German Anglist.
He studied classical philology and modern languages at the universities of Halle and Berlin, and taught classes in Küstrin and Stettin. In 1876 he qualified as a lecturer of English philology, and four years later became an associate professor of English language and literature at the University of Bonn (full professor in 1885).[1]
In 1877, with Richard Paul Wülker, he was cofounder of the journal Anglia,[2] and from 1898 was editor of the Bonner Beiträge zur Anglistik.[1]
