Life

Malinowski studied history and political science at three Berlin universities ( Free University Berlin , Technical University Berlin and Humboldt University Berlin ) and at the Université Paul-Valéry in Montpellier (France). In 1994 he obtained his master's degree from the TU Berlin .

From 1995 to 1998 Malinowski was a scholarship holder of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) at the European University Institute in Florence. From 1998 to 2002 he was a research assistant for modern history at the TU Berlin, then in the period 2002/2003 at the historical seminar of the University of Cologne . He became known in 2003 for his dissertation on the topic From King to Leader. Social decline and political radicalization in the German nobility between the German Empire and the Nazi state. The historian Eckart Conze praised it as "the most comprehensive study to date of the relationship between the nobility and National Socialism" . In 2004 he was the first to receive the Hans Rosenberg Memorial Prize for his dissertation .

After completing his doctorate , he became a research assistant at the Friedrich Meinecke Institute at the Free University of Berlin in April 2003 , where he worked as a lecturer until 2008 . In 2005/2006 he was a Kennedy Fellow at the Center for European Studies at Harvard University in Cambridge (Massachusetts). He taught at the Humboldt University in Berlin and was a fellow at the Institute for advanced studies at the Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg from 2008 to 2009 . From 2009 to 2012 he taught German and Western European history of the 19th and 20th centuries at University College Dublin . Since summer 2012 he has been teaching at the School of History, Classics & Archeology at the University of Edinburgh . In addition to works on German history, Malinowski has also made contributions to French and European colonial history.

On behalf of the State of Brandenburg , Malinowski prepared an expert opinion in 2014 on the question of whether the former Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia had “made a considerable contribution” to the National Socialist system . According to the Compensation and Compensation Act, this would lead to an exclusion of compensation payments to the descendants. Malinowski came to the conclusion: “Wilhelm Crown Prince of Prussia improved the conditions for the establishment and consolidation of the National Socialist regime through his constant actions. His overall behavior contributed significantly to the establishment and consolidation of the National Socialist regime. ”In 2015, Malinowski published an article on the same topic in the weekly newspaper Die Zeit . Thereupon the Hohenzollern family filed a criminal complaint against him with allegations of violating private secrets . The proceedings were finally discontinued in accordance with Section 170 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure because there was no suspicion of a violation of private secrets under Section 203 of the Criminal Code.

Malinowski took a prominent part in the debate about the relationship of the Hohenzollern to National Socialism in 2019. The research controversy resulting from the different results of the expert reports submitted by Malinowski and Wolfram Pyta , Christopher Clark and Peter Brandt on the question of the involvement of the Hohenzollern in the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship and the public debate about "the legacy of the Hohenzollern" that led to this controversy triggered, were at the end of 2019 as "the most important historical-political conflict in the country" in the present (Der Spiegel). Jan Böhmermann published the secret reports, which are important for the Hohenzollern's compensation claims , in November 2019 for his show Neo Magazin Royale on the Internet.
