De Gruyter Saur De Gruyter Lexikon der DDR-Historiker - Biographies & Bibliographies

This comprehensive reference work provides the first complete overview of the biographies of historians throughout the entire history of the German Democratic Republic. Covering the period from the founding of the GDR in October 1949 through 1990, this volume serves as an essential resource for researchers and academics interested in East German historiography. The lexicon includes more than 1,100 biographical entries that detail the academic careers of professors and lecturers active during this era. To ensure long-term relevance, all information has been updated to include developments beyond the end of the GDR. Beyond biographical data, the book offers significant bibliographic value. It lists qualification writings, including dissertations and habilitations, and provides details on articles published in the most important historical periodical of the GDR. This makes it a vital tool for anyone studying the development of historical science and the academic landscape of the former East Germany.
