Paul Nolte is co-editor of various book series and managing editor of the magazine Geschichte und Gesellschaft. Journal of Historical Social Science . He deals with time and societal critical analyzes as well as with essays and articles in various newspapers and magazines.
Through a debate on values that Nolte wants to initiate with his publications, Paul Nolte aims to reorganize conservative values in Germany. Because of this, the media counted him among the representatives of a German neoconservatism . He describes himself as "neo-conservative with a sympathy for black-green alliances". Right- wing conservative German historians such as his namesake Ernst Nolte , who interprets the emergence of the National Socialist reign of terror as a result of a bourgeois feeling of threat from the communist movement since 1917, bordered on the FAZ in a letter to the editor as a student in the 1980s during the historians ' dispute by writing in relation to Ernst Nolte: "unfortunately my namesake".
The term lower class television from Nolte's book Generation Reform , which Titanic and later Harald Schmidt took up in his ARD Late Night Show of the same name , received more attention .
Since 2009, Nolte has been the President of the Evangelical Academy in Berlin (honorary) . In 2012/13 Nolte was a fellow at the Historisches Kolleg in Munich.
Nolte is married to the historian Monika Wienfort .
