History in Cologne

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

History in Cologne ( GiK ) is a historical specialist journal on the history of the city of Cologne , the specialty of which is that it was founded as a student journal and in which students (from the University of Cologne ) publish articles alongside established specialist colleagues.

In addition to articles on the history of the city of Cologne, essays on the history of the Rhineland, regional, local and city are published. Since 1995 GiK has been published with the subtitle Zeitschrift für Stadt- und Regionalgeschichte .

The magazine was founded in 1977 by students at the Department of History at the University of Cologne. With the magazine they are trying to make important results from seminar and examination papers, which are normally not published, accessible to a wider public and to create a forum for university work on Cologne's city history. The first volume was published in April 1978.

The journal's editors are Peter Heil, Martin Kröger, Georg Mölich, Wolfgang Rosen, Lars Wirtler and Stefan Wunsch, who publish the GiK in conjunction with the Association of Friends and Supporters of the Cologne City Museum. You maintain good contacts with the historical seminar of the University of Cologne and the historical archive of the city of Cologne, the Cologne City Museum and the NS Documentation Center in Cologne. Many of the authors who are no longer studying come from one of these institutions. Former editors include Johannes Helmrath , Petra Pluwatsch , Annette Eversberg , Carl Dietmar , Georg Mölich and Alwin Müller . Thanks to the close connection to the history seminar, contributions by well-known historians such as Werner Eck , Franz-Reiner Erkens , Anna-Dorothee von den Brincken , Bernd Päffgen and Walter Ameling could be published.
