The German Historical Institute Moscow (DHI) supports projects and conducts its own research on Russian / Soviet and German history as well as on German-Russian relations in their international context. Particular interest is given to questions of historiography as well as cultural transfer and exchange processes. It is housed in a building belonging to the Russian Academy of Sciences .
history
The institute goes back to an initiative of the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation and the ZEIT Foundation Ebelin and Gerd Bucerius in 2005. It was financed exclusively from private funds until 2008. Since 2009 the institute has been supervised by the Max Weber Foundation - German Humanities Institutes Abroad , which is financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research . The DHI publishes German documents from the central archive of the Russian Defense Ministry on the Internet . a. of the High Command of the Wehrmacht (271 files), the High Command of the Army (988 files) and the Central Army Group (852 files).
In January 2015 there was a major fire in the library of the Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which also affected the rooms of the GHI. Events had to be relocated to other - mainly university - facilities. For the 10th anniversary of the GHI in September 2015, the legal situation of the institute was clarified. As a foreign-funded institution, the GHI was under heavy pressure under relevant Russian law . With the mediation of politics it was possible to register the institute as a commercial company, which makes financing from abroad unproblematic.
