He was a specialist on ethnic history in America, especially regarding the German Americans. He was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1892; his father was a German immigrant who owned a factory.

He taught history at Ohio State University (1921–37), and for a few years was chair of the history department and later, dean of the graduate school. He was the dean at Oberlin College (1937–1948). He then became dean of the graduate school at Western Reserve University, until his retirement in 1963.[1]

Wittke served on the editorial boards of the Mississippi Valley Historical Review, Canadian Historical Review, and the Ohio Historical Society Quarterly.
