Andreas Ludwig (historian)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andreas Ludwig (born January 18, 1954 in Berlin ) is a German modern historian .

Live and act

From 1975 to 1981 Ludwig studied history, German, philosophy and educational science at the Free University of Berlin . The first state examination for teaching at secondary schools was followed in 1983 by the graduation as Magister Artium. In 2000 he received his doctorate from the Technical University of Berlin in the field of modern urban history under Wolfgang Hofmann . The topic of the thesis dealt with the social foundations as the socialization core of the bourgeoisie in the urbanization of the 19th and 20th centuries using the example of the city of Charlottenburg .

After completing his studies, Ludwig became involved in the Berlin history workshop in 1981 , where he was involved in exhibition and publication projects on everyday life in Berlin under National Socialism . After his legal clerkship at the German-American John F. Kennedy School , he was commissioned to design the local history museum for the Berlin district of Charlottenburg, which was opened for the 750th anniversary of Berlin in 1987 and which he headed until 1988. From 1989 to 1992 Ludwig was a research assistant for urban history at the Institute for History at the Technical University of Berlin.

In 1993 he was commissioned by the city of Eisenhüttenstadt to found a museum on everyday history in the GDR , which he managed until the end of 2012. With the concept of accompanying museumization and the creation of collections based on everyday findings, Ludwig tied in with the history workshops and expanded them with discursive exhibition concepts and interpretations of everyday material culture as a contribution to the social history of the GDR. In addition to his urban history work, he deals with questions of museumisation and the possibilities of material culture as a historical source. Ludwig is co-editor of the magazine “ WerkstattGeschichte ” and lecturer for museum studies at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder). He has been a research assistant at the Center for Contemporary History , Potsdam , since 2013 .
