The eldest son of Kurt Immerwahr and Johanna Freund Immerwahr, he was educated at the University of Florence (1934-1938).[3] Immerwahr then emigrated to the United States, earned a Ph.D. at Yale University in 1942 and then performed military service for three years during World War II.[3] He returned to Yale after the war and taught there until 1957, at which point he moved to the University of North Carolina.[4] Immerwahr served as Professor of Greek in the Department of Classics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1957 until his retirement in 1977, at which point he became Director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, serving in that capacity until 1982.[5]
