Dieter Lent

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dieter Lent (born December 24, 1934 in Landsberg an der Warthe ) is a German regional historian , archivist and author of publications on the history of Lower Saxony and Brunswick.

Live and act

Lent studied history, philosophy and German in Hamburg , Göttingen and Freiburg , where he received his doctorate on a Germanic topic in 1964. An archive traineeship followed in Marburg. Lent then worked at the headquarters of the Lower Saxony State Archives in Hanover. In 1971 he designed the exhibition "25 Years of Lower Saxony" in Hanover. In 1975 Lent moved to the Wolfenbüttel State Archives , where he worked until his retirement, most recently as head of the contemporary history department and deputy head of the State Archives.

Lent's publications deal primarily with the history of Lower Saxony and Braunschweig. At the end of the 1970s he discovered the legacy of the Vormärz politician and editor of the liberal-democratic newspaper Deutsche Tribüne Georg Fein , which he recorded in the following years. In 1998 Lent discovered a drawn portrait of a youth by Friedrich Hecker , one of the leaders of the German Revolution of 1848/1849 . It is considered to be the earliest Hecker portrait. His finds are of regional and local historical interest with regard to the founding date of Stadtoldendorf and the history of Hehlen in Lower Saxony, as well as the "activity" of Adolf Hitler as a government councilor in Brunswick .

Lent is an honorary advisory board member of the Braunschweigischer Geschichtsverein . Together with Hans-Ulrich Ludewig , Klaus Erich Pollmann and Ulrich Schwarz, Lent was on the advisory board of the Braunschweigische Landesgeschichte published by Horst-Rüdiger Jarck and Gerhard Schildt in 2000 , in which he wrote the chapters on regional historiography and the events of the war and the losses in the Second World War . Lent wrote numerous articles for the two-volume Braunschweigische Biographische Lexikon (1996/2006), the second volume of which he co-edited.

Dieter Lent is the father of Wolfgang Lent (* 1968), who works as a lawyer, publishing editor and lecturer at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich .
