Joachim Jahn (historian)

Joachim Jahn (born 1951 ; died April 23, 1993 ) was a German historian and head of the cultural office of the city of Memmingen .

Jahn studied at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and began to get involved there in the 1970s when the Bavarian Unification / Bavarian People's Foundation was founded (see the competition for the Bavarian anthem ). On the recommendation of his academic teacher Karl Bosl , Jahn was editor-in-chief of the magazine Bayernspiegel from 1976 to 1984 . In 1981 he received his doctorate from the Ludwig Maximilians University with a thesis on “Augsburg Land” , supervised by Bosl and assessed summa cum laude , which forms part of the Historical Atlas of Bavaria . In 1984 he married.

From 1984 until his death in 1993, Jahn was the director of the Memmingen City Cultural Office . In this position he initiated the foundation of the Memmingen Forum for Swabian Regional History in 1986 , which is dedicated to "research into historical Swabia" and has held a conference on regional history in the Memmingen town hall every two years since then. Jahn co-edited the first resulting conference volumes and showed himself to be a supporter of the sociologically inspired "genealogical-property-historical" method. Shortly after his appointment, he began work on a two-volume city history, for which he won renowned historians as editor and which was published after his death. Among other things, he promoted the city's cultural offerings with the Memminger Meile , a recurring cultural week.

Jahn published mainly on the regional history of Swabia and co-wrote Bosl's Bavarian biography . He completed his habilitation in 1992 with a constitutional historical paper published the year before on the Bavarian duchy of the Agilolfinger and gave his inaugural lecture at the University of Vienna , with which he developed close relationships for Memmingen. He died after a serious illness in 1993 at the age of 42.
