from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walther Vogel (born December 19, 1880 in Chemnitz , † May 22, 1938 in Berlin ) was a German historian and university professor.

Life

After studying in Munich , Berlin and Heidelberg , he received his doctorate in Berlin in 1906 on The Normans and the Frankish Empire. From 1907 to 1910 he worked as an assistant at the Institute for Oceanography in Berlin. Then he became a lecturer in history in Berlin . In 1914 he completed his habilitation. He published the first volume of his book History of German Seafaring in 1915. In 1917/18 he was a soldier.

From 1917 to 1920 he was an associate professor, and from 1921 a full professor for political studies and historical geography at the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin. Until his death he worked on the Historical Atlas of Germany . From 1921 Vogel was editor of the Hanseatic History Papers .

Vogel was a member of the DNVP . In 1933 he was one of the founders of the Paul Ernst Society, which promoted the reputation of the Nazi-affiliated poet who died in 1933. Vogel thought the age of sovereign nation-states was over; they would soon replace autonomous “people's bodies”. He rejected a European dictatorship that was “Western European-American” or “semi-Asian” and envisioned a “religious, well nationally structured, but at the same time federal” Europe with less “civilization” and more “internal customs”. This publication, The new Europe and its historical-geographical foundations from 1925, as well as his book The Fights for Baranowitschi 1916 from 1927 appeared in the Soviet Zone in 1953 on the list of literature to be sorted out .
