Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann (May 13, 1785 - December 5, 1860) was a German historian and politician. He came of an old Hanseatic family of Wismar, which then belonged to Sweden. His father, who was burgomaster of the town, intended him to study theology, but Friedrich preferred classical philology, which he studied from 1802 to 1806 at the University of Copenhagen, University of Halle, and then again at Copenhagen.
