Life

Ina S. Lorenz, b. Werner, was born as the youngest child of a well-known Hamburg banking family. She completed her high school at the Heilwig School . After studying history, philosophy and art history in Munich, Berlin, Vienna and Karlsruhe, she received her doctorate with a thesis on the liberal politician Eugen Richter . In 1987 he completed his habilitation in Karlsruhe on the Jews in Hamburg from the German Empire to the end of the National Socialist tyranny. As a professor at the Institute for Social and Economic History at the University of Hamburg and as deputy director at the Institute for the History of German Jews in Hamburg, she makes significant contributions to research into the Jewish history of her hometown.

Research priorities

Ina S. Lorenz's focal points include the German-Jewish history of the 19th and 20th centuries, especially in northern Germany, and the social and community history of the Jews in Hamburg. In collaboration with Jörg Berkemann, among other things , she created a representation of the history of Hamburg's Jews between 1933 and 1938/1939 over a period of 20 years. This work consists of seven volumes and 4773 pages. It contains two monographs, four volumes of documents and a register volume. The historian Jörg Osterloh from the Fritz Bauer Institute calls this work a “Memorial to Hamburg's Jews” and rates it as the “standard work on the history of the Jews” in Hamburg from 1933–1939
