from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Günter Vogler (born July 28, 1933 in Reinhardtsgrimma ) is a German historian .

Günter Vogler passed his Abitur in 1952 and studied history at the Humboldt University of Berlin (HU) from 1952 to 1956 . In 1956 the state examination took place. In the same year he became a research assistant at the Institute for German History at the HU Berlin. There he received his doctorate in 1962 under Erich Paterna and Gerhard Schilfert with a thesis on feudal labor pensions and peasant resistance in the 18th century. He then worked as a lecturer in German history at the HU Berlin and as the main consultant in the State Secretariat for higher education and technical schools in the GDR. From 1966 to 1969 he was a lecturer in the history of modern times. In 1978 he received his PhD B.. From 1969 to 1979 he was a professor with a teaching position for German history with a focus on early modern history. From 1979 to 1996 he was a full professor of German history at the Humboldt University in Berlin. Vogler has been a member of the board of the Thomas Müntzer Society in Mühlhausen / Thuringia since 2001, and was its chairman from 2001 to 2008.

His main research interests are the history of the Reformation and the peasant war, the peasant movements, Thomas Müntzer, the Anabaptist Empire in Münster and historiographical topics. Vogler is considered to be one of the most important representatives of the thesis of a connection between the Reformation and the peasant war as an " early bourgeois revolution ". Vogler emerged from the so-called "awakening" period of the early 16th century through numerous publications and source editions and became internationally known. For the ten-volume manual of the history of Europe series, edited by Peter Blickle , Vogler wrote the fifth volume on European history between 1500 and 1600, which was published in 2003 with the title Europe's departure into modern times .
