Michael Curschmann's Obituary
Michael Curschmann, age 81, died Saturday, October 7, 2017 at home in Princeton. Born in Cologne, Germany, to Hanna and Fritz Heinrich Curschmann, he studied at the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, where he received his PhD. In 1963, he immigrated to the United States with his wife Beryl and infant daughter to take up a position as a medievalist in the German Department at Princeton University, where he remained on the faculty until his retirement in 2002. In the years following, he stayed active as a Professor Emeritus, continuing to write, speak and participate in academic life until his death.
Michael was a loving and devoted husband to Beryl for over 50 years. Attentive, supportive and generous to his children, Michael was also a doting grandparent and a loyal brother. Preceded in death by both Beryl and his beloved son Paul, he is survived by his daughter Jane Curschmann, grandsons Yannick Pinoy-Curschmann and Max Curschmann, sister Barbara Haas and brother-in-law Hans Martin Sauer.
