from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christine Gisela Krüger (born May 30, 1975 in Elmshorn ) is a German historian . Since April 2020 she has been teaching as a professor for general history of the most recent times at the University of Greifswald .

Live and act

Christine G. Krüger studied Modern History , Medieval Studies and Romance Studies from October 1995 to July 2001 as part of the German-French integrated course TübAix at the Universities of Tübingen and Aix-en-Provence .

In 2005, Krüger received his doctorate from the University of Tübingen with a multiple award-winning dissertation on the experience of German Jews in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 . Frank Becker felt that military history , research on nationalism and the history of German Jews were convincingly linked in Krüger's work ; With fluent and precise language, she added another chapter to knowledge of the history of the war of 1870/71. In his opinion, however, it could have given its results greater significance “if it had been applied in a comparative way, for example compared the behavior of German Jews to that of their French co-religionists, or, with reference only to Germany, had confronted the unification wars with the wars of liberation . ”For Ulrich Sieg , too , Krüger's remarks on the war experience of German Jews“ left nothing to be desired in terms of content-related precision and analytical clarity ”; he regarded the history of experience as“ exemplary processed ”.

In 2015 Krüger was awarded the Venia Legendi as a private lecturer by the University of Oldenburg on the basis of a habilitation thesis on youth voluntary services in Germany and Great Britain in the 20th century . David Templin, historian from the Research Center for Contemporary History in Hamburg and the University of Osnabrück , criticized the sometimes irritating structure of the work, which was divided into the four sections before 1945, the first post-war decade , the “ economic miracle ” up to around 1968 and finally the phase structured from 1968 to the end of the 1980s. He also felt that the aspect of practical work carried out in the context of voluntary services was neglected. Overall, he praises the work as a “well-founded overview of the genesis, character and change” of the “youth policy project 'from above'” and thus as a “valuable contribution to the history of organized youth activities in the 20th century”. Benjamin Möckel found Krüger's book to be an excellent case study of the political, cultural and economic history of the post-war period. Krüger has convincingly integrated both the political and intellectual debates as well as the changing economic contexts that influenced these debates. While the book says little about the day-to-day work of volunteer service participants, integrating an intricate aspect of British and German post-war history makes it important reading for anyone interested in the history of voluntary service, the history of youth and generations as well interested in social and social work history.

Krüger was a research assistant at the Collaborative Research Center 437 War Experiences from May 2014 to March 2020 . War and society in modern times at the University of Tübingen and at the University of Oldenburg. From September 2008 to August 2009 she was a Feodor Lynen Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the University of Oxford , from January to November 2012 she was also a fellow at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies and a visiting scholar in April 2014 at the Institut d ' études politiques de Paris . In the 2016/17 winter semester, she acted as a substitute for a professorship (for chair holder Ewald Frie ) at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. From 2014 to 2020 she was a research assistant at the Collaborative Research Center / Transregio 138 Dynamics of Security. Forms of securitization from a historical perspective and taught as a private lecturer at the University of Oldenburg. She was visiting scholar at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (October 2018), Colegio de México (March / April 2019) and at the University of Tokyo (April 2020). Since April 2020 she has been teaching as a professor for general history of the most recent times at the University of Greifswald .

Her areas of work are Jewish history, the history of anti-Semitism, the history of nationalism, the history of war experiences, the history of youth, the history of civil society and the history of security.
