Dietrich Andernacht (born December 26, 1921 in Keilhau , † November 7, 1996 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a German historian and archivist .

The son of a teacher attended the humanistic grammar school in Eisenach . He was wounded in the war. In 1940 he began studying history and historical auxiliary sciences at the Universities of Freiburg and Frankfurt am Main . He had to interrupt his studies because he was called up again. Night fell into American captivity . In 1945 he was able to continue his studies. Andernacht became assistant to Paul Kirn . In 1950 he received his doctorate in Frankfurt am Main with a thesis on the biographers of Bishop Otto von Bamberg , supervised by Kirn . This was followed by training for archives at the Marburg Archive School from 1952 to 1954 . In 1959 he became head of the Frankfurt City Archives and remained in this position until 1984. Andernacht was managing director of the Frankfurt Historical Commission for over two decades .

The focus of his research was the legal, economic and social history of Frankfurt. He published essays on the history of the Frankfurter Oberhof (1961), or on the pledging of Frankfurt Jews in 1349 (1972). In 1955 and 1978, together with Otto Stamm and Erna Berger, he published a two-volume edition of the Frankfurt Citizens' Books from 1311 to 1470. Andernacht devoted himself in particular to researching the history of Frankfurt's Jews. Together with Eleonore Sterling, he edited a highly regarded volume on the history of Frankfurt's Jews 1933–1945. Andernacht was also significantly involved in founding the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt.

From his estate in 2007 Helga Andernacht published the two-volume regesta on the history of the Jews in the imperial city of Frankfurt am Main from 1520-1616 , with which the four volumes of the regesta on the history of the Jews in the imperial city of Frankfurt am Main from 1401-1519 , the Andernacht himself had been able to publish, for which modern times were added. Andernacht's source work is probably the most extensive on a Jewish community in the Middle Ages. Andernacht has published 7000 regesta (summaries of historical sources) on more than 1100 pages . The source work was recognized by Alfred Haverkamp , among others, as a “contribution to historical basic research that should not be overestimated”.
