bio Ulrich Schneider was a German scholar specializing in Indian studies (Indology), particularly Buddhism. He was the author of Der Buddhismus: Eine Einführung (Buddhism: An Introduction), which became a notable work in German Buddhist studies and went through multiple editions.

Schneider was honored with a Festschrift (commemorative volume) titled Hinduismus und Buddhismus: Festschrift für Ulrich Schneider, edited by Harry Falk, indicating his significant contributions to the field of Indian religions and his recognition among fellow scholars.

His work Der Buddhismus: Eine Einführung covered topics including the history and current state of research, as well as the cultural-geographical context of Buddhism.

Schneider began his career as a Pāli and Buddhist scholar, but later became a many-sided Indologist who even wrote on the Veda.
