More recently, the magazine has increasingly addressed sociological issues in the areas of the sociology of violence and the sociology of money and finance. Furthermore, she examines the relationship between democracy and statehood using historical, sociological and politically theoretical approaches.

Many booklets contain a literature supplement that discusses current publications on social science and contemporary historical topics or offers overview-like articles on literary or historical issues and trends. In recent years, for example, the portrayal of soldiers in post-war novels has been dealt with, Reinhart Koselleck's ethics of history have been analyzed, and the work of François Dubet has been presented.

In the section From the Protest Chronicle at the end of each issue, which appeared from 1992 to 2019, the political scientist Wolfgang Kraushaar illuminates one episode from the history of political resistance, such as the German student movement of the 1960s .

Each issue also contains an introductory quote on page 1 and a picture on page 2, which can relate to the topic and the contributions in the respective issue or to current debates. From 2010 to 2017, Mittelweg 36 regularly published the results of the Berlin Colloquia on Contemporary History , which the HIS organized together with the Einstein Forum Potsdam .
