Published by Lothar Gall in collaboration with Peter Blickle, Elisabeth Fehrenbach, Johannes Fried, Klaus Hildebrand, Karl Heinrich Kaufhold, Horst Möller, Otto Gerhard Oexle, and Klaus Tenfelde. Former editors include Peter Blickle, Otto Gerhard Oexle, and Klaus Tenfelde. The complete work will consist of around one hundred textbooks of similar scope. All volumes are structured uniformly: they provide an encyclopedic overview, address fundamental problems and trends in research, and include a systematically organized bibliography. They are particularly coordinated at their intersections and in overarching questions. Each volume forms a self-contained unit and presents the most important aspects of its topic in a concise and illustrative manner. The volumes of the Encyclopedia of German History thus provide a deeper insight into one's own scholarly work by offering a quick and reliable overview.
