Kathrin Gabler (born 1984 in Ingolstadt[1]) is a German Egyptologist. She is the current professor of Egyptology at the University of Mainz, a German U15 research university, and a specialist on Deir el-Medina prosopography, Hieratic script, and Egyptian archaeology.[2][3][4]

Education and academic career

[edit]

Kathrin Gabler received her Magister Artium degree at the University of Munich in 2010. She obtained her doctoral degree at the same university in 2016 after a stay at Leiden University.[2] After that she taught Egyptology at the University of Munich, the University of Basel,[5] the Humboldt University of Berlin, and the University of Copenhagen.[2] In 2023–2024 she worked at the Cairo Division of the German Archaeological Institute.[2][4] In July 2024 Kathrin Gabler assumed the full professorship at the University of Mainz, succeeding Ursula Verhoeven-van Elsbergen [de] as the chair of Egyptology.[2]

Kathrin Gabler is a founding member and was an original member of the governing board of the German Association of Egyptology (Verband der Ägyptologie).[6]

Research

[edit]

Kathrin Gabler has participated in diverse field projects in Egypt, including the British Museum epigraphic and conservation survey at Elkab and Hagr Edfu, the German excavations at the Deir el-Bakhit Coptic monastery.[2][7] Since 2024, she works at the Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III in Kom el-Hettân.[2] As of 2024, Gabler manages the German House in Luxor [de] within the framework of a joint project between the German Archaeological Institute and the University of Mainz.[8] Since 2020, Kathrin Gabler is the director of exploration and restoration works at the Theban tomb TT217 as part of an Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale mission.[9][10]

In 2019–2023, Gabler participated in the Crossing Boundaries project (a cooperation between the Universities of Basel and Liège as well as Museo Egizio), which processed Deir el-Medina papyri in the Museo Egizio in Turin.[3]

In her monograph, based on PhD dissertation, Gabler examined the service personnel at Deir el-Medina, tracing the data on individual occupations and establishing the patterns of social mobility within this group.[11] The lists of documents for the service personnel compiled in the course of the work are available in open access as part of the Deir el-Medina database.[12] According to Anne Austin, Gabler's book significantly advances the understanding of service professionals at Deir el-Medina.[13] Hanane Gaber maintains that Gabler's book fills a gap in the knowledge of Deir el-Medina personnel.[14] Gabler further published over 20 research papers, editing new textual material and studying different aspects of life at Deir el-Medina and beyond.[15]
