What role does local and regional history play in 21st-century history education? The daily lives of students are characterized by mobility and unlimited digital connectivity. Shouldn't teaching, therefore, choose a broader scope in selecting topics that meet the demands of a global information society? This book explores the unique potential of a local and regional historical approach for the historical needs and historical consciousness of young people, whose lives will increasingly be marked by changes in location: Focusing on a limited space allows for close observation and encourages thinking in alternatives, within complex political, social, and cultural contexts. Such an understanding of local and regional history, beyond folkloric notions of local history, promotes exactly the competencies needed.
