General history in individual representations

General history in individual representations was a historical book series published by the historian Wilhelm Oncken (1838–1905), which appeared in Berlin from 1878 to the 1890s, first by Grote and later by the Historisches Verlag Baumgärtel . It was subdivided into four main sections: I. Main section (history of antiquity), II. Main section (history of the Middle Ages), III. Main Department (History of Modern Times), IV. Main Department (History of Modern Times). The main sections, in turn, were subdivided into different parts and these sometimes into individual volumes. Numerous renowned historians participated in the series. Some volumes appeared in revised editions. Wilhelm Oncken was also commissioned by Kaiser Wilhelm I (1797–1888) to write a biography about him for posterity. This work forms the last part of the book series.
