The Emsland History is a regional scientific journal that has been published since 1991 by the Study Society for Emsland Regional History , which was founded in 1989 . The series appears annually at the end of the year, with its own interruptions in the early years.

The editorial office

The first editorial team was formed by chairman Stefan Remme and Uwe Eissing. Paul Thoben joined Volume 2. Volumes 3 and 4 were created by Uwe Eissing and Christof Haverkamp. For Volume 5, Remme came back to the editing team. For volume 6, Helmut Lensing joined the editorial team for Uwe Eissing. For Volume 8 Remme left the editing team and Paul Thoben rejoined the editorial team, with Helmut Lensing taking over the management of the editorial team. Helmut Lensing, Christof Haverkamp and Heinz Kleene have been creating the volumes in this series since volume 13.

Place of publication and publisher

The first two volumes of Emsland history were published by Fehn-Verlag Joh. Eissing in Papenburg and volumes 3 and 4 by Edition Temmen in Bremen . Since volume 5, the history of the Emsland has been self-published by the Studiengesellschaft für Emsländische Regionalgeschichte, initially based in Meppen, from volume 5 in Dohren and since volume 8 (2000) in Haselünne .

Subjects of the series

The Emsland history deals with the past of the Emsland / Grafschaft Bentheim region and its relationships with the neighboring regions, so that here you can also find articles on the area's connections with the Netherlands, East Frisia, the Oldenburger Münsterland, the Osnabrücker Land and the Münsterland . While genealogical-oriented articles predominated in the first volumes, the range of topics has expanded continuously since then. For example, annotated sources are printed in the series, such as war diaries for the towns of Schüttorf and Haselünne , reports by local pastors on the Nazi period in the Catholic parishes of Meppen and Lingen, or also commenting on periods from school chronicles of the Emsland and the county of Bentheim. Dissertations or other school or university theses will also be printed, for example on forced sterilization in the Bentheimer Land during the Nazi era (Volume 15), on Hümmlinger before the Reich Chamber of Commerce (Volume 15), on the German-Dutch relationship after 1945 with a special focus on the Grafschaft Bentheim (volume 18), the Spanish flu (volume 21/2014) or about children's perception of the fighting at the end of the war in 1945 in the Lingen area (23/2016).

Since volume 6 (1997), the results of the project “Biographies on the history of the Emsland and the Grafschaft Bentheim” have appeared in each volume, up to the current volume 26 (2020) there were already over 200 résumés. Another constant in the series is the presentation of regional museums and the printing and updating of the booklet “Emsländische Burgenfahrt” published by Alexander Geppert in 1923. The castles and manors of the Emsland are presented with their history. Volume 25 was the start of an investigation into the Center Party in the province of Hanover during the Weimar Republic, which was planned to run for several years.

Since volume 14, contributions from the field of “nature and the environment” have been included in the series, with a historical anchoring for the most part. Many articles published to date are devoted to the Nazi era, which is still relatively little known in the region. In addition to the biographical development of the region, the magazine is known for its research into the Nazi era, the First and Second World Wars, as well as the regional history of parties and churches.
