Heinrich Bulle (11 December 1867 – 6 April 1945) was a German archaeologist born in Bremen.
He studied classical archaeology in Freiburg im Breisgau and Munich, where he was a student of Heinrich Brunn (1822–1894). From 1898 to 1902, he was a lecturer at the University of Würzburg, followed by an associate professorship at the University of Erlangen. In 1908, he returned to Würzburg as a professor, where he was also director of the "Martin von Wagner Museum". Bulle was a member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.[1]
Due to the massive destruction of Würzburg in March 1945, Bulle lost all of his books and manuscripts. He died shortly afterwards in Bad Kohlgrub.
Heinrich Bulle was a specialist of ancient Greek art and sculpture. His best known written work was an innovative study of ancient art titled Der schöne Mensch im Altertum, a book that was published over three editions. He also conducted research into ancient Greek theatre.
In 1903–1905, with Adolf Furtwängler (1853–1907), he conducted an important excavation at Orchomenus, Boeotia.
