Project on a historical review of the Nazi period and its consequences at the University of Hohenheim
For nearly three years, the scientific project worked on a historical review of the time between 1933 and 1945 at Hohenheim Agricultural College. The University contracted historian Dr. Anja Waller to carry out the project as an independent expert. She published the findings in 2018 during the University of Hohenheim’s 200th anniversary year with the title “Erschreckend einwandfrei – Die NS-Zeit und ihre Folgen an der Universität Hohenheim” (With Little Resistance - The National-Socialist Period and its Consequences at the University of Hohenheim).
She investigated structural changes and forced standardization, victims and perpetrators, National-Socialist zealots and National-Socialist (agricultural) science and forced labor. The University of Hohenheim placed a particular focus on the post-war period with the resumption of teaching, denazification of university members, and the (re)hiring of lecturers and professors.
