BA/BS in Geschichte

This two-subject bachelor in history asks how we know about historical events, how those events are evaluated today and what that reception shows about present societies. It also raises the basic question of what history is, who writes or narrates it and whether the accounts in sources and textbooks match what happened. Topics such as remembrance culture, collective memory and the need for monuments are part of the discussion. A student values working with varied types of sources, including texts, images and sculptures.
