Detlev Blanke, who lived from 30 May 1941 until 20 August 2016, was a German Esperantist and interlinguistics lecturer at the Humboldt University of Berlin, and one of Germany's most active Esperanto philologists. From 1991 to 2016 he was chair of the Gesellschaft fur Interlinguistik and editor of its newsletter, Interlinguistische Informationen. With his wife Wera Blanke he was especially interested in the evolution of language, in the development of terminology for the constructed language Esperanto and in questions of sociolinguistics, and he studied Eugen Wuster's work toward common international terminology. After working as a teacher of German and geography he earned a doctorate from Humboldt University in 1976 with a dissertation on comparative word construction of Esperanto and German, and a second doctorate in 1985 on constructed languages.
