Die Reformation in Pommern in der deutschsprachigen Historiographie 1900-1990
The Reformation in Pomerania in the German-Language Historiography (1900–1990)

Summary/Abstract: The political changes in the first half of the 20th century did not have a decisive influence on the research into the Reformation in Pomerania in the German historiography. On the other hand, in the second half there was a clearly viisible relationship between the political situation and history as an academic discipline. First of all, Historische Kommission für Pommern (Historical Commission for Pomerania), i.e. the leading historical society dealing with the history of Pomerania, was situated in West Germany, far away from the Pomeranian archives. Secondly, in the GDR (German Democratic Republic) there was a clear distinction between academic historiography and the historiography written outside the universities.
