The Professor in Germany

The first German translation of The Professor was published in 1858 in Stuttgart, translated "Aus dem Englischen von Dr. Büchele", as it says on the title page.

This edition was republished in facsimile form in 2015 by Reink Books, as a print on demand book. A 2016 copy has also been spotted (but we have not included it in the statistical analysis article for that year).

The second and only other translation was published for the first time in 1990, by Ars Vivendi from Cadolzburg (302 pp.). It was done by Gottfried Röckelein, who also translated Jane Eyre.

The other Bronte͏̈ novels
As far as could be gathered the first German translation of Jane Eyre was published in 1850, after Shirley which has an 1849 translation. Wuthering Height and Agnes Grey follow closely, with 1851. The first The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is from 1990.
