7th symposium in the “Historical Judgement” series
Varieties of Germany
Other Perspectives
26 September 2025
Deutsches Historisches Museum
Pei Building
What is revealed when we look at German history “from outside”? This kind of a change in perspective is important in the current time of upheaval when it is necessary to take a closer look at the coordinates of German and European politics.
The seventh edition of the series Historical Judgement contrasts conventional priorities of national historiography with new areas of emphasis, throws light on unexpected aspects, and shifts relevancies: With views from Cameroon, Lithuania, India or Poland Volha Bartash, René Bloch, Philippe Depreux, Young-Sun Hong, George N. Njung, Agnieszka Pufelska, Robyn D. Radway, Baijayanti Roy and Liliane Weissberg take a new look at German history, a history from the outside – from antiquity to the end of the Cold War.
The contributions appear in the new edition of the magazine “Historical Judgement”.
