Christian Archaeology

Deichmann was born in the German city of Jena in December, 1909, and died at Mentana, the Roman suburb in which he lived, in September, 1993. He was educated at the universities of Graz, Munich, Jena, and Halle, from which he took his degree in 1934 with a dissertation on the ground-plans of early Christian churches.

In 1981, Deichmann, working with Joachim Kramer and Urs Peschlow, assembled his Corpus der Kapitelle der Kirche von San Marco zu Venedig (1981), which is currently being translated into Italian (Farioli Campanati).
