from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Josef Burghardt (born August 23, 1952 in Waldbröl ) is a German scientific theorist and social historian .

Life

Until 1966 Burghardt attended the Hollenberg-Gymnasium in Waldbröl , then the State Apostle Gymnasium in Cologne-Lindenthal (Abitur 1971).

After completing his first degree at the University of Cologne with degrees in mathematics (diploma in 1976) and physics (doctorate in 1979 under Heisenberg's student Peter Mittelstaedt ), Burghardt worked in the field of basic physical research, in particular on a formal language with modalities in quantum physics . Like Carnap , he assigned the modal terms “possible” and “necessary” to a metalanguage .

At the beginning of the 1980s he developed software for the Sinclair ZX81 that allowed the use of a computer to simulate statistical processes in mathematics lessons (still 1985–1987 at the Hölderlin High School in Cologne ).

Burghardt, who since the early 1970s, the development of civil officials families in the Rhineland during the 17th and 18th centuries examined, finished in 1992, a second study of history, social and economic history and philosophy through another promotion at the Prussia Historian Johannes Kunisch with a study on social mobility in the age of absolutism .

After joining the CDU Cologne in 1991, Burghardt took over several party offices. In 1993 he became chairman of the local association in the Brück district of Cologne and Gisela Manderla, who later became a member of the Bundestag , as his deputy . In 1994 he helped Rolf Bietmann to win an election in the Cologne municipal constituency of Brück-Rath / Heumar, but fell out with him because, against Bietmann's resistance, he promoted Manderla's entry into the Cologne city ​​council . In 2004 Burghardt left politics. From 1993 to 2019 Burghardt was a member of a group that called itself Illuminati in Areopagus and influenced local politics in Cologne. His membership included a notary who worked for the Sal. Oppenheim bank as well as a former manager at Ford Germany and an influential Freemason .

After studying law with a focus on German legal history with Dieter Strauch and statistical studies on spatial mobility in the context of migration to Germany since 1980, Burghardt began working on the reign of Brandenburg Elector Johann Sigismund in 2002 . Here stood beside political philosophy and religious and political aspects of the " Second Reformation " and the influence of France on the Jülich-Cleves War of Succession especially the social mobility of civil and aristocratic groups on the eve of the Thirty Years' War in the foreground. Since 2012, Burghardt and his wife have been investigating the international social structure of the German secret service for the protection of " retaliatory weapons " V1 and V2.

In 2007, Burghardt became a consultant at the genealogy company Ancestry , but ended this collaboration in 2015 after Ancestry had started building a genetic database .

Burghardt is a freelance historian and has lived in Cologne-Brück since 1983. He has been married to Daniela Topp-Burghardt since 1981 (2003-2019 Chairwoman of the European Women's Ring Association , 2013 European Women Prize , since 2015 First Deputy Mayor of the Cologne-Kalk district , 2018 Medal of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany ). The couple has three grown children
