Beschreibung:
Hans-Christof Kraus taught at the universities in Speyer, Stuttgart, Munich and Jena. Since 2007 he teaches Modern and Contemporary History at the University of Passau. His main research areas are German and British history from the 18th to the 20th century, history of politics and international relations, history of modern political thought, constitutional history and history of historiography.
Fritz Hartung (1883-1967), professor at the Universities of Halle, Kiel and Berlin, was one of the most prominent German historians of his time. His books, especially the frequently published »German constitutional history«, were standard works for decades. Hartung, not a follower of the Weimar Republic, was also averse to National Socialism and repeatedly aroused the unwillingness of the Nazi rulers. After 1945, although living in West Berlin, he worked for the Academy of Sciences in East Berlin. Thus, he soon became a mediator of divided German historical science of the postwar period.
