Joachim Leuschner
Joachim Leuschner (born June 22, 1922 in Berlin , † April 12, 1978 in Hanover ) was a German historian .
Joachim Leuschner spent his high school in Berlin. From autumn 1941 until the end of the war he was a soldier on the Russian, French and Italian fronts. In 1946 he began studying history and Latin philology at the University of Göttingen . There he received his doctorate in 1951 with the dissertation supervised by Hermann Heimpel on the idea of German history in the later Middle Ages . At times he was the private assistant to the legal historian Karl Gottfried Hugelmann . In 1953 he was commissioned by the Historical Commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences to edit King Sigmund's yearbooks . Two years later, the work resulted in the essay on Sigmund's election, with Leuschner taking a new interpretation of “electoral politics” from the Palatinate point of view from a previously unknown election report in the Bavarian Main State Archives . Together with Katharina Colberg , he re-edited Dietrich von Nieheim's “Historisch-Politische Schriften” . Since 1963 he has taught history at the Göttingen University of Education as a lecturer in didactics. In 1969, he was appointed professor of medieval and modern history at the Technical University of Hanover , where he set up a history seminar with Colberg. He died shortly before the publication of the edition of the "Historisch-Politische Schriften Teil 2" by Dietrich von Nieheim, which he had taken over and had worked on since 1967 together with Colberg.
Leuschner was also the editor of a ten-volume German story that was published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht between 1973 and 1984 . For this project he was able to win renowned historians such as Rudolf Vierhaus , Karl Otmar Freiherr von Aretin , Reinhard Rürup and Hans-Ulrich Wehler as authors.
