Regionalgeschichte

In modern historical science, engaging with regions offers the opportunity to gain insights into the development of smaller areas and their positioning in relation to current events and structural changes, beyond overarching connections at the state or global level. To illustrate the current state and potential of regional historical research, this volume brings together contributions that illuminate sources, methods, actors, and comparative perspectives based on case studies. The content spans from the Middle Ages to contemporary history, with a geographical focus on northern Germany, which is repeatedly contextualized within European frameworks.
