There he received his doctorate in 1989 at Volker Press with a thesis on the occupation of the Prussian western provinces during the Seven Years' War . From 1990 to 1997 he worked as a research assistant at the University of Tübingen. In 1998 he completed his habilitation in Middle and Modern History with a study on the history of the Swabian Federation . After working as a research assistantIn the Tübingen Collaborative Research Center (SFB) "War Experiences" (1998–2001) and a visiting professor at the Université Aix-Marseilles III , he was appointed to the chair for Early Modern History at the University of Gießen in 2001. There he participated, partly in managerial positions, in research alliances such as the SFB “Remembrance Cultures”, the Graduate College “Transnational Media Events”, the research group “Violent Communities” and the Graduate Center for Cultural Studies ( GCSC - International Graduate Center for the Study of Culture ). Since 2018 he has been the spokesman for the SFB 138 “Dynamics of Security”, which is supported by the Universities of Gießen and Marburg.

The scientific focus of Horst Carl's research lies in the area of ​​the social and constitutional history of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation , which he interprets primarily as a federal system of collective security in the tradition of late medieval civil peace organizations, as well as in the area of ​​a military history that is expanded in terms of social and cultural history . Modern occupation situations and the role of the nobility, mercenaries and warrior groups as actors of violence in early modern wars are of particular importance.

In 2003 Carl received the Schiller Prize from the city of Marbach am Neckar for his habilitation thesis Der Schwäbische Bund 1488–1534 . Since 2003 he has been a member of the Historical Commission for Hesse and co-editor of relevant academic series ("War in History" at Vandenhoeck / Göttingen; "Politiken der Sicherheit / Politics of Security" at NOMOS / Baden-Baden).
