Hans Rosenberg
Hans Rosenberg (February 26, 1904–June 26, 1988) was a German refugee historian whose works influenced a whole generation of post-war German scholars. Life Rosenberg was born in Hannover. Though of Jewish ancestry, he was raised as a Protestant, in Cologne. He took his PhD there in 1927 under Friedrich Meinecke, and received his Habilitation in 1932, despite strong conservative opposition. As the Great Depression unfolded, his attention shifted from the history of ideas and nationalism, which he studied under Meinecke, to economic cycles. The result of this was a 'stunningly original work' on the world economic crisis of 1857–1859, published in Stuttgart in 1934. Neither Rosenberg nor his wife Helen (a promising concert pianist) seemed likely to secure a good career in Germany, due to a variety of factors including faculty politics at Cologne, as well as the rise of Nazism and his Jewish ancestry. They were forced into exile and he became one of many refugee historians. H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
