The Conference will be held at the Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut of the Free University of Berlin from 28-30 September 2017.

However, proposals dealing with non-German influences, transfer relations, and parallel developments in other countries or placing German developments in international contexts, as well as long-term developments exceeding the period of Wilhelmine and Weimar Germany, are also welcome.
