Life

Ernst Langthaler grew up in Frankenfels as the son of the electrician and later mayor Ernst Langthaler (* 1941) and the saleswoman Inge Langthaler (* 1941). After completing the federal upper level secondary school in St. Pölten, he studied mathematics as well as history and social studies at the Pedagogical Academy in Krems from 1983 to 1986 . In addition to his work as a teacher at the secondary school in Frankenfels since 1987, he studied history and subject combinations at the University of Vienna from 1992 to 1995 . 1998 to 2000 followed the PhD course in history at the University of Vienna.

In 1999 Langthaler resigned from school and became a member of various historical research projects. Since 2001 he has been a lecturer at the Institutes for Contemporary History and Economic and Social History at the University of Vienna, and since 2004 at the Institute for Landscape Planning at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna . In 2002 he became an employee at the newly founded Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for the History of Rural Areas in St. Pölten (since 2005: Institute for the History of Rural Areas), where, among other things, he is responsible for the publication of the "Yearbook for the History of Rural Areas" . From 2005 to 2011 he was deputy head of the Institute for the History of Rural Areas and from 2009 to 2012 head of the FWF research project "Agricultural Styles", which is ongoing there. From 2005 to 2009 he was the Austrian delegate in the COST action "Program for the Study of European Rural Societies (Progressore)" and in 2010 he was designated as secretary of the European Rural History Organization. In 2011 Langthaler took over the management of the Institute for the History of Rural Areas.

An APART grant from the Austrian Academy of Sciences from 2005 to 2008 enabled Langthaler to develop a habilitation thesis on agriculture in the Reichsgau Niederdonau from 1938 to 1945, with which he was habilitated in economic and social history at the University of Vienna in 2010 and was appointed as a private lecturer. After a visiting professorship at the Institute for History and Ethnology at the University of Innsbruck in the summer semester 2010, he took over a visiting professorship at the Institute for Economic and Social History of the University of Vienna in the winter semester 2010/11, summer semester 2011 and winter semester 2011/12 and was appointed university professor for this period . In February 2011, Langthaler completed an Erasmus teaching stay at the University of Santiago de Compostela . In 2013 he was appointed to the Commission for Interdisciplinary Ecological Studies (KIÖS) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and to the Lower Austrian Cultural Senate , the culture and science policy advisory body of the State of Lower Austria .

After more than a decade and a half full-time work in non-university research, Langthaler switched to university teaching and research in 2016: After a six-month fellowship at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , he accepted the professorship for social and social affairs Economic history at the Johannes Kepler University Linz .
