from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Vehse (born August 7, 1901 in Hanover , † July 28, 1943 in Hamburg ) was a German historian .

Otto Vehse studied in Marburg, Graz, Göttingen and Berlin. It was founded in 1924 in Berlin with Albert Brack man with a thesis on the political propaganda of Frederick II. To Dr. phil. PhD. He then became an employee of Brackmann at Germania pontificia . In contrast to Brackmann, however, he did not turn to Ostpolitik but to papal documents. From 1926 to 1930 he was an assistant at the Prussian Historical Institute in Rome . There he devoted himself particularly to Italy and the papacy . This work is free of time-political statements. In 1930 he completed his habilitation in Kiel with Benevento, the territory of the Papal States of the Avignonesian era, and worked there as a lecturer in imperial and church history. He could no longer complete an intended constitutional history of the Papal States because he lacked Italian literature in Kiel. In 1932 he passed the Prussian State Archive Examination. In 1933 he joined the NSDAP and SA . Vehse was a research assistant in the Foreign Office and a research assistant in the Kiel State Archives . From the winter semester of 1936 to the winter semester of 1938, he temporarily managed the professorship of Justus Hashagens at Hamburg University . Since 1938 he taught there as a full professor. In Kiel and Hamburg the focus shifted from Italy in the High Middle Ages to research on Germany and Teutons in the early Middle Ages . His representations changed from a scientific to a strictly ideological orientation. Vehse published studies on Germany and the North in the Middle Ages (1941), on the beginnings of popular consciousness (1941), the North Germanic migration (1942) and the presentation of the Nordic founders (1943) in eight portraits of life, aimed at a wider audience. On the night of 27./28. In July 1943 he was killed in a bomb attack on Hamburg . Some of his work on Italy and the papacy is still valid today. His habilitation thesis was translated into Italian in 2002.
