Georg Heinrich Lünemann

Georg Heinrich Lünemann (3 September 1780, in Göttingen – 8 January 1830, in Göttingen) was a German classical philologist and lexicographer. His younger brother, Johann Heinrich Christian Lünemann (1787–1827), was also a classical philologist.

He studied classical philology at the University of Göttingen, and in 1803 succeeded Georg Friedrich Grotefend as an instructor of Greek and Latin at the gymnasium in Göttingen.
