Research Profile

The fellows of the German Historical Institute pursue a wide range of research topics on British and German History as well as on Anglo-German relations from the Middle Ages to the present day. However, there are some fields of research on which the Institute places particular emphasis and concentrates its activities in arranging conferences and acquiring outside funding for additional research projects. At the same time these topics are also areas of particular expertise of the present staff.

(2) Colonialism and Colonial History

(3) Fürsorge und Solidarität – Modelle und Institutionen sozialer Inklusion und Kontrolle (Welfare and Solidarity – Models and Institutions of Social Inclusion and Control)
