Wolfgang Zimmermann (archivist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Zimmermann (* 1960 in Konstanz ) is a German historian and archivist .

Wolfgang Zimmermann studied history, Catholic theology and Greek philology at the University of Tübingen . There he received his doctorate in the winter semester 1992/93 with a thesis supervised by Hans-Christoph Rublack on the process of political and religious change in the Austrian city of Konstanz from 1548 to 1637. After completing his doctorate, he trained from 1991 to 1993 for the higher archive service at the main state archive in Stuttgart and at the archive school Marburg / Institute for archival science . He then worked in the State Research and State Description department of the Baden-Württemberg State Archives Directorate. In 2002 he took over its management. From 2006 he headed the department for specialist programs and educational work in the newly formed Baden-Württemberg State Archive . Since October 1, 2010, he has been the successor to Volker Rödel and head of the General State Archives in Karlsruhe .

In his dissertation he dealt with the hitherto hardly researched history of the city of Constance after the loss of imperial freedom (1548) until the Thirty Years' War . The aim of the work for Konstanz was "to show [...] in what form urban society was affected by the denominational process in its political, social and religious dimensions and by whom the claims of the Tridentine Church were received or rejected". Zimmermann is a member of the board of the commission for historical regional studies in Baden-Württemberg . He was chairman and is an honorary member of the History Association of the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart . He is editor of the magazine for the history of the Upper Rhine and lecturer at the Institute for Historical Regional Studies and Historical Auxiliary Sciences at the University of Tübingen.
