Life

Laux completed his studies in history and German at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf and at the University of Western Ontario in ( Canada ) in 1994 with a master's degree . After employment as a research assistant at the state history chairs at the universities of Düsseldorf and Greifswald , he received his doctorate in 1999 with a dissertation in the subject of history on the history of the Rhenish Reformation against the background of the first attempt at the Reformation in Cologne under Archbishop Hermann von Wied (printed in 2001 in the series "Reformation History Studies and Texts") ). After continuing to work as an assistant in Düsseldorf, he worked for two years at the Institute for Regional Studies and Regional History (formerly: Office for Rhenish Regional Studies - ARL) of the Rhineland Regional Council in Cologne and Bonn.

2008 habilitation he in Dusseldorf with a geographically and temporally comprehensive presentation for acting social forces on the legal and social situation of the Jews in the corporatist dominated territories of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (2010 printed in the series of Arye Maimon Institute of History of the Jews at the University of Trier ). From 2008 to 2012 Laux acted as personal advisor to the rector of Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. In July 2012 he accepted a professorship for historical regional studies at the University of Trier (successor to Franz Irsigler ).

His scientific focus lies in the spectrum of early modern research (16th – 18th centuries), whereby a strong historiographical and reception- historical interest in structural and mental after-effects of the premodern has led him several times into contemporary history . For Laux, the focus is on comparative approaches in the field of national or regional history, with the aim of bracing political and social history .
