Summary/Abstract: Nicolae Iorga’s proficiency in German offered him the possibility to study at various German universities. At Leipzig, his doctoral supervisor was the historian Karl Lamprecht (1856- 1915), who was one of the chief proponents of the “history of culture” (Kulturgeschichte). Later, the influence of his German mentor could be seen in the way Nicolae Iorga wrote about various aspects of the Romanian civilization. His knowledge of German history gave the Romanian scholar the possibility to anticipate the defeat of both the Imperial Germany and Nazi Germany.
