The History of the German Association of Historians and the German Historians Conference since 1948

1948年以来德国历史学家协会和德国历史学家会议的历史除了美国，世界上没有一个国家的历史学家协会像德国及其前身国家的历史学家协会那样具有如此持久的连续性和高度的政治和社会影响力。令人惊讶的是，这个成立于1895年的协会的历史至今还没有人研究过。而较小的国家协会和其他历史机构则长期以来一直被不相关的历史学家所探索。德国历史与历史研究联合会的任务不仅在于成功地组织欧洲最大的人文学科大会--历史学大会，该大会于1893年首次举行，2012年第49次举行。该协会还保护该领域的利益，并在公共场合代表它：它允许历史学家之间的内部交流，是该领域纪律和制度化进程的一部分，建立国际联系，解决当今问题，并在大学和学校的历史系争夺稀缺的教育资源;因此，它也成为与政治冲突的场所。最重要的是，该协会的档案，从1948年到现在，提供了宝贵的洞察力，内部决策过程方面的领域，到网络的过程，以及历史学家会议的规划，包括决定aboutadmission和不承认的部分和会谈。这些问题值得在以问题为导向的历史分析中加以解决。该项目与柏林和波茨坦的一个研究项目密切合作，研究1893年至国家社会主义结束期间的历史，重点关注1945年至今的最新当代历史。

The History of the German Association of Historians and the GermanHistorians Conference since 1948 Except for the United States, nocountry in the world possesses an association of historians of suchlasting continuity and high political and social influence as that of theFederal Republic of Germany with her predecessor s states.Surprisingly, the history of this association, founded in 1895, has notbeen studied up to now, whereas smaller national associations andother historical institutions have long been explored by theirrespective historiographers. The task of the Verband der Historikerund Historikerinnen Deutschlands not only consists in routinelyorganising the biggest European humanities congress, theHistorikertag, which first took place in 1893 and for the 49th time in2012. The Association also protected the interests of the field andrepresented it in public: it allowed for internal communication amonghistorians, was part of the disciplination and institutionalisationprocess in the field, created international connections, addressedpresent-day questions, and competed for scanty educationalresources in the History department of universities and schools; thus,it also acted as a venue for conflicts with politics. Above all else, theAssociation s archive, which spans from 1948 to the present day,gives valuable insight into internal decision-making processes withregard to the field, into processes of networking as well as theplanning of the Historians Conference, including the decisions aboutadmission and non-admission of sections and talks. These questionsdeserve to be addressed in a problem-oriented historical analysis ofthe Association. The project narrowly cooperates with a researchproject in Berlin and Potsdam treating the period between 1893 andthe end of national socialism and focuses on latest contemporaryhistory spanning from 1945 to the present.
