Between Scholarship and Politics. Hans Delbrück - Selected correspondence (1868-1929)

汉斯·德尔布尔<e:1>(1848-1929)是德意志帝国和魏玛共和国最杰出的学者和公共知识分子之一。他是一位好斗的历史学家，从19世纪90年代到20世纪20年代，他参加了德国所有主要的公开辩论，教过霍亨索伦王朝的一位王子，编辑过有影响力的月刊《Preussische Jahrbuecher》，还担任过自由保守党议员。第一次世界大战后，他在战争罪行讨论中担任专家证人，并发起了Mittwochabendgesellschaft，这是两次世界大战期间柏林社会中最著名的辩论俱乐部之一。作为一名学者和一名公关人员，他在学术界、政界和新闻界（乌尔里希·拉夫）的核心领域工作了30多年。因此，delbr<s:1> ck的著作是反映急剧变化的时代的国民情绪和知识分子氛围的重要地震仪。他的生平和书信尤其引人关注，因为他作为评论家、学者和政治演员参与了德国两种完全不同的政治体系。从19世纪60年代在格赖夫斯瓦尔德、海德堡、波恩等地的学生时代开始，到1929年去世为止，delbr<e:1>的一生都被重新整理了出来。通过向更广泛的受众提供具有代表性的资料来源，记录了delbr<s:1> ck生平和时代的最重要主题，该项目为19世纪末至20世纪初德国的科学史、政治文化和社会史提供了基础研究。

Hans Delbrück (1848-1929) was one of the most eminent scholars and public intellectuals of both the Kaiserreich and the Weimar Republic. A pugnacious historian who took part in all major public debates in Germany from the 1890s to the 1920s, he taught one of the Hohenzollern princes, edited the influential monthly Preussische Jahrbuecher, and served as a Member of Parliament for the Free Conservative Party. After the First World War, he acted as an expert witness in the war guilt discussion and initiated the Mittwochabendgesellschaft, one of the most distinguished debating clubs of Berlin society in the interwar period. Immensely productive both as a scholar and a publicist, he operated within the hot core of academia, politics and journalism (Ulrich Raulff) for more than three decades. Delbrück s writings thus serve as an important seismograph of public mood and intellectual atmosphere in an era of dramatic transition. His life and letters are of particularly great interest because he was involved in two completely different political systems in Germany as a commentator, scholar and political actor. The project aims at reconstructing Delbrück s life from his student days in Greifswald, Heidelberg and Bonn in the 1860s until his death in 1929. By offering a representative choice of sources documenting the most important topics of Delbrück s life and times to a wider audience, the project provides basic research for the history of science, political culture and society in Germany from the late 19th to the early 20th century.
