About

Historesch Gesinn aims to be a bridge between historians and the public, communicating about the past in the present. Traditionally history is written by the elite, leaving out important insights about the everyday life and the perspective of minorities. Historesch Gesinn invites you to contribute to the ongoing historical research, and thus support researchers create a more complete image of the past. The Historesch Gesinn platform is a collaborative project with a constantly changing group of scholars and partners. Each research theme has an assigned researcher and will work together with institutions that are relevant to that research theme.
