Life

Manfred Laubert was born as the son of the secondary school director Karl Laubert. He attended the educational institute in his home town, which was run by his father, where, after eight and a half years of schooling, he passed the Abitur at Easter 1895 - with the dispensation from all parts of the oral examination . He studied in Breslau, Zurich, Berlin and Leipzig, where he was a student of Karl Bücher and received his doctorate in 1899 from the historian Erich Marcks with a thesis on the criticism of the sources on the battle of Kunersdorf . After his military service, he worked on archives for several years in Posen and Berlin, the first result of which he presented in 1908, his studies on the history of the province of Posen in the first half of the 19th century . With the publication Press and Censorship in the New Prussian Period (1815–1847) published in this volume, he completed his habilitation in the same year, 1908, at the University of Breslau . There the Privatdozent for Medieval and Modern History was awarded the title of professor five years later (1913) . After participating in the First World War , he came back to Breslau in 1919 - awarded the Iron Crosses I and II class and the Hohenzollern House Order with Swords - where he also read about Polish history due to a special teaching assignment and became an associate professor in 1921 . When Laubert was brought up for discussion in 1927 for Johannes Ziekursch's chair in Wroclaw, who had moved to Cologne, Wolfgang Windelband, the ministerial advisor in the Prussian Ministry of Education, found: Laubert undoubtedly deserves recognition, but the Wroclaw ordinariate is out of the question. Accordingly, the Wroclaw-born journalist and long-time Poland correspondent for the Vossische Zeitung , Friedrich Wilhelm von Oertzen , who emphatically lamented the lack of a professorship for Polish history in Germany in 1934, represented the opinion, which can undoubtedly also relate to Laubert, that one probably would not even have the scientists, the Chair of such a [...] vermöchten really fill at the moment. In 1938, at the age of 61, Laubert was finally appointed as an associate professor at the Chair of Polish History at the University of Berlin, which had been established in November 1932 but had not been filled until now . Here he was on leave from the spring of 1944 until the end of the war because there were no more listeners to his courses on Polish history. After the Second World War , he taught at the Georg-August University in Göttingen, where he died in 1960. Laubert, who was a member of the Johann Gottfried Herder Research Council from 1950 until his death , is counted among the scientists affiliated with the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle, either corporately or in free association , who specifically focus their research on the requirements of population policy planning projects of the semi-officially organized "Germanism policy" of the NS- Subordinate time in the east; he had already made an appearance as a representative of an extremely revisionist historical science .
