Hans Karl Rupp
Hans Karl Rupp (born December 25, 1940 in Heilbronn ) is a German contemporary historian and political scientist .
Life
After graduating from the Goethe-Gymnasium Karlsruhe in 1959, Hans Karl Rupp began studying German, history and political science at the University of Heidelberg and switched to the University of Bonn in the 1960 summer semester , where he took the Philosophikum in 1962.
After his conscientious objection in 1961, he worked in“International student working group of war opponents” with and afterwards in the Central Committee of the Easter March . Inspired by the interpretation of the Godesberg program by Heinz Joachim Heydorn , who was excluded from the SPD , he tried to find a place in the Herbert-Wehner-SPD. But he only succeeded in doing this in the Willy Brandt era . In 1976 he became a founding member of a local SPD association.
In 1969 he received his doctorate in political science with a dissertation on the movement against nuclear armament in the Federal Republic under Karl Dietrich Bracher . 1969–1970 and 1970–1972 he worked at the Pedagogical University of Rhineland, Department Wuppertal and at the University of Heidelberg as a research assistant. In 1972 he was appointed to a professorship for scientific policy at the University of Marburg . Here he taught - with one interruption - until 2006.
In 1978 he published a first political history of the Federal Republic of Germany at the suggestion of Kohlhammer Verlag Stuttgart . This work, which was polemically picked up by the historians' guild, was an attempt to interpret the Federal Republic and its development as a response to National Socialism - in the critical light of the postulates of the Basic Law - and not as part of a national continuity. An updated edition was published in 1982, 1999 and 2009.
Rupp's other fields of work and publications were and are: the beginnings of political science in Germany, coming to terms with the Nazi past, changing politics through the new social movements. He is editor of the series of books on Politics and Contemporary History .
In 1997 and 2006/07 Rupp held a visiting professorship in “German Studies” at Dokkyō University in Saitama / Japan.
