In this lecture, Prof. Andreas Wirsching will discuss the critical edition of Hitler’s Mein Kampf, which the Institute for Contemporary History published earlier this year following the expiry of the copyright in 2015 (i.e., 70 years after the death of the author) and which has since attracted worldwide attention. Prof. Wirsching will expound upon the many scholarly, legal, political, and moral aspects that were taken into account in producing this new edition.
Andreas Wirsching has been Director of the Institut für Zeitgeschichte (Institute for Contemporary History) München – Berlin and Full Professor for Modern and Contemporary History at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich since April 2011. Prior to this appointment, he was Associate Professor for Modern West European History at the University of Tübingen and then Full Professor for Modern and Contemporary History at the University of Augsburg. He studied History, (Protestant) Theology and Philosophy at the Universities in Berlin and Erlangen and received his doctoral degree from the University of Erlangen in 1988. In 1995, he received his habilitation at the University of Regensburg. His research focuses, among others, on the History of Germany and France in the Interwar Period, on the History of National Socialism as well as on German and European History since the 1970s.
