Biography

A German lexicographer who devoted his work to the bilingual dictionary of German and Arabic. With Mahmud Fahmi Hegazi and others he compiled the Deutsch-arabisches Wörterbuch, a large dictionary of about 120,000 entries in some 1,500 pages, and followed it with an Arabisch-deutsches Wörterbuch published in Wiesbaden from 1981. Studies of Arabic lexicography count it among the fullest German–Arabic dictionaries of the twentieth century.
