Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to answer the following question: why is history didactics needed in history (non-pedagogic) studies? The article begins with the existing definitions of the concepts of the didactics and history didactics as well as their statuses as academic disciplines. Further attention is paid to the German program of history didactics, an acquaintance with which has caused certain changes in the study programs at the Faculty of History of Vilnius University. The article concludes with a discussion of the reception of the German ideas in the studies of this faculty. The novelty of the article can be seen in the first attempt to scientifically legitimize the teaching of the history of didactics in history studies and to dispute the tradition, a popular one in Lithuania, of dissociating the research on teaching from the studies of historical consciousness, historical culture, memory etc.
