Group’s main area of interest was cultural history in the sense of the 19th century. He undertook several major research trips through Germany and Europe. Several, in part extensive, cultural-historical writings are considered the main works of his fruitful literary activity. These include the two-volume work on “ System and History of Culture ” (1891/1892) and a “ Cultural History of the Middle Ages ” (1894/1895), which also initially appeared in two volumes . This was expanded to six volumes in the second edition (1906 ff) and is based on his main work. Group’s presentation of the “ Cultural History of the Roman Empire ” appeared in two volumes in 1903/1904. In 1905 he published « Culture of the ancient Celts and Teutons. With a look back at the prehistory »and 1906« The German people and tribal character in the light of the past. Travel and Culture Pictures ».
In addition, Grupp did extensive research and published on the history of the House of Oettingen. Among other things, he edited and published regesta on Oettingian history.
