Between Colonialism and National Socialism

在这个研究项目是评估德国殖民历史如何影响德意志帝国的后殖民社会。具体地说，应该展示那些早年就开始在海外殖民地从事研究活动，并凭借其在魏玛和纳粹时期的殖民经历在学术界占据主导地位的人类学家和医生的职业生涯。为此，在德国联邦档案馆或柏林的国家图书馆收集和分析了大量的历史文献，特别是上述科学家撰写的殖民地文献及其科学著作，现在应该公布研究成果，但在研究期间未能完全付诸实践。这首先包括出版研究专著或在科学会议上发表演讲。

In this research project is to assess how the German colonial history affected the post-colonial society of the German Empire. Specifically, the career of those anthropologists and physicians should be shown who began their research activities in the overseas colonies in their younger years and took up a leading position in the academic guild on ground of their colonial experience in Weimar and Nazi era. For this research purpose, numerous historical documents, including especially the colonial documents prepared by the above-mentioned scientists and their scientific works, were collected and analyzed at the Bundesarchiv or the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin.Now the research results should be made known, which could not be fully put into practice during the research period. This includes above all, to publish a research monograph or to make a presentation at scientific conferences.
