Coordination Office for Thuringias Colonial Legacy

The Thuringian Ministry for Economic Affairs, Science and Digital Society (TMWWDG) is providing a total of 300,000 euros to fund the establishment of a cross-university "Scientific Coordination Centre for the Examination of Colonial Heritage in Thuringia" at the Universities of Erfurt and Jena. As part of the University of Erfurt, the Centre for Transcultural Studies supports the reappraisal of the "colonial heritage" in Thuringia.

We are delighted about the generous funding and see this as an opportunity to continue existing projects and also to initiate new research projects in this area.

European History Portal

European History in Sources and Essays covers the history of Europe and Europeans from the 18^th century to the present day. It draws on original textual and visual sources, which are placed in their historical context with the aid of an accompanying research essay. Historians and social and cultural scientists working in the field of history demonstrate why, and in what ways, the events, structures, processes, ideas and forms of expression they study are significant for the course of European history, the historical consciousness of the European population and the challenges we face today.
