Live and act

Oltmer received his doctorate in 1995, he completed his habilitation in 2001 in the subject of modern and contemporary history at the University of Osnabrück under Klaus Jürgen Bade with a thesis on the history of migration in the Weimar Republic. Since the mid-1990s, Jochen Oltmer's academic interest has been primarily in historical migration research: his aim is to understand and explain the background, conditions, forms and consequences of the spatial movement of people in history. The focus is on the question of why migrations took place, which patterns they followed, how they were perceived and which actors influenced people's spatial movements and for what reasons. The focus is on all forms of migration (from work and settlement migrations, through educational migrations and postings to violent migrations, i.e. flight, displacement, deportation), but also the most varied of reactions that migration movements evoke in societies and institutional actors to have. With the investigation of the effects of regional mobility, the interest also applies to the question of the perspectives and challenges of migrants to achieve or achieve economic, social or political participation.

Jochen Oltmer has been a member of the IMIS board since 1997. He is a member of the commission of the Lower Saxony State Parliament for Migration and Participation as well as numerous scientific advisory boards, including the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), the German Emigration Center (DAH) in Bremerhaven, the Documentation Center and Museum on Migration in Germany (DOMiD) in Cologne, the Friedland Museum and the Flight, Expulsion, Reconciliation Foundation (SFVV) in Berlin. He is a co-founder of the Refugee Research Network, a member of the committee of the historical commissions for Lower Saxony and Bremen and the Council for Migration , of which he was a board member from 2013 to 2015 and has been a member again since 2018. He led and directs various research projects. Numerous monographs and compilations as well as around 250 articles have emerged from his work. Jochen Oltmer is also editor of the series of publications Studies on Historical Migration Research and co-editor of the journal for refugee research (Z'Flucht) and of Immigrants & Minorities.
