Andreas Heuer (born November 27, 1959 ) is a German author and teacher .

In 1980 he graduated from the Herderschule Kassel . After studying history, philosophy and Romance studies at the University of Hamburg and the University of Bordeaux , he passed his first state examination in 1986. He then worked for three years as a research assistant at the University of Hamburg on a research project at the Universities of Hamburg, Dakar (Senegal) and Abdidjan (Ivory Coast) under the direction of Leonhard Harding .

In 1988 he received his doctorate with the thesis export trade, trading houses and traders on the Ivory Coast from 1880-1939 . From 1990 to 1995 and from 1997 to 1999 he taught as visiting professor at the Department of German Studies at Kangwon National University, Hannam University and Hongik University in South Korea.

In the 1990s he published articles in Korea that deal with modern political philosophy and a comparison between western and eastern philosophy . Since 2009 publications have followed that critically reflect Western historical thinking and the concept of world history.

According to Heuer, historical awareness is a term in history didactics that does not reflect the historical changes of the last decades enough. He calls for the topics of the rise of China, the multipolar world and the information society to be given greater consideration in the context of organized historical learning. Concerning the historical thought it calls for a rethinking of the concept of world history , which should be resolved in the terminology of stories.
