Matthias Steinbach (* 1966 in Jena ) is a German historian .

Matthias Steinbach passed his Abitur in 1986 at the children and youth sports school "Werner John" in Jena. He also played soccer for FC Carl Zeiss Jena in the GDR junior league and BSG Wismut Gera in the GDR league . After completing the NVA basic military service, Matthias Steinbach studied history, sports science, education, philosophy and art history at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena from 1988 to 1993 . Study visits to Rome, Seville, Paris and Metz followed. In 1993 and 1995 he passed the first and second state exams for teaching at grammar schools. In 1998 he received his doctorate from Hans-Werner Hahn with a study on the historian Alexander Cartellieri . His habilitation took place in 2005 on the subject of pedagogy, educational reform and social issues as a university challenge . At the same time, he worked from 1998 to 2007 as an employee at the Historical Institute of the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena and as a teacher at the Christian grammar school in Jena . In the 2006/07 winter semester he held a substitute professorship for history didactics at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main . Steinbach has been a professor of history and history didactics at the Technical University of Braunschweig since 2007 .

In research and teaching, Steinbach's thematic focus is on German history from the 18th to the 20th century and, in particular, on university and educational history, military history, the history of political ideas and the communication of history. His projects included work on the historian Alexander Cartellieri, on whom he also wrote his dissertation. In addition, in 2014 Steinbach and Uwe Dathe published Cartellieri's diaries in a critically commented edition. This was praised as excellent in a review by the historian Gerhard A. Ritter , for example . The project Shared Memories - Border Experiences between Harz and Heide , which Steinbach and his department staff worked on in cooperation with the Lower Saxony State Archives (Wolfenbüttel location) aims to systematically record border experiences of life on and with the German-German border.
