21 Jul 2025
Munich's research on Eastern Europe during the war and postwar period

In the postwar period, Munich became a central location for German research on Eastern Europe. It showed numerous continuities in terms of content and personnel with the Nazi era, which have hardly been addressed to date. Given the political relevance of research on Eastern Europe before and after 1945, a critical examination is long overdue.
These continuities are the focus of an exhibition developed by students of the elite Eastern European Studies program (LMU Munich and University of Regensburg). It highlights the work of researchers in the context of their networks, their ideological influences, and their role in the war of annihilation and the Cold War.
An exhibition in cooperation with the University of Regensburg, the Elite Network of Bavaria, and the Eastern European Studies program.
