history

The historical-political journal Leopold von Rankes from 1832 to 1836 and, in particular, the Zeitschrift für Geschichtswwissenschaft published by Wilhelm Adolf Schmidt from 1844–1848 are the forerunners of the historical journal as a general historical scientific organ .

The historical magazine was founded in 1859 by Heinrich von Sybel . In the early phase up to the end of the First World War, it was an organ with a predominantly Protestant-denominational orientation in the Prussian sense, which represented the Prussian claim to leadership of the German Reich . Therefore, Catholic authors were rarely represented. During the Kulturkampf , attacks on the Catholic view of history were not uncommon, especially in connection with Martin Luther and Protestantism . Conversely, Catholic journalism published periodicals with political and historical content with a clearly anti-Prussian tendency, such as the historical-political papers for Catholic Germany and the Historical Yearbook . Today the denominational point of view has become meaningless.

According to the research results of Ursula Wiggershaus-Müller, the historical science represented in the historical journal “did not function entirely, but to a large extent as a science of legitimation” for the Nazi regime.

The authors of the historical journal included a number of famous scholars, for example Heinrich von Treitschke , Heinrich von Sybel himself, Hermann Baumgarten , Friedrich Meinecke , Wilhelm Maurenbrecher , Georg Voigt , Alfred Heuss and Johann Gustav Droysen . After Heinrich von Sybel (1859–1895), the editors of the historical journal were Heinrich von Treitschke (1895–1896), Friedrich Meinecke (1896–1935), Karl Alexander von Müller (1935–1943), Ludwig Dehio (1949–1956), Walther Kienast (1949–1968), Theodor Schieder (1956–1984), Theodor Schieffer (1968–1975), Lothar Gall (1975–2015) and Andreas Fahrmeir and Hartmut Leppin (each since 2015).

On March 3, 2009, the 150th birthday of the historical magazine was celebrated in the Kaulbach villa of the historical college in Munich with a short presentation by the editorial team.
