Timeline

1914

Bei seinen Forschungen zum Ersten Weltkrieg nahm Geiss besonders den Kriegsausbruch 1914 ins Blickfeld.

Wie Fritz Fischer sah auch er das Deutsche Reich in der Hauptverantwortung für den Ausbruch des Krieges.

1931

Imanuel Geiss (9 February 1931 – 20 February 2012) was a German historian.

Imanuel Geiss was born in Frankfurt am Main, the youngest of the five children of a working-class family affected by the economic crisis.

His unemployed father had to raise the children alone as their mother suffered from meningitis.

1941

She was killed in 1941 by Aktion T4 after the father had died in 1940.

1947

Als Massaker-Forscher vertritt Imanuel Geiss mit Uwe Backes, Eckhard Jesse und Rainer Zitelmann die Position einer „Historisierung des Nationalsozialismus“, die den Holocaust mit anderen „Massakern in der Weltgeschichte“, wie den „Stalinistischen Massakern“, „Post-kolonialen Massaker in der Dritten Welt“, „Terrorismus“ von RAF, IRA und „jüdischen Terrorgruppen“ (Stern, Irgun) unter den Aspekten der Totalitarismustheorie vergleichen möchte, um Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede festzustellen: „Im Vergleich zu den totalitären Massenverbrechen der extremen Rechten (Nationalsozialismus) und der extremen Linken sowie in der Dritten Welt seit den indischen Massakern von 1947 verschwinden geradezu Untaten in der westlichen Welt.“

Im Historikerstreit intervenierte Geiss gegen Jürgen Habermas und verteidigte Ernst Nolte insbesondere in seiner Forderung nach dem Vergleich als wissenschaftliche Methode zur Erforschung auch von Auschwitz.

Dabei beklagte er, dass Historiker wie Wolfgang J. Mommsen nicht bereit seien, diesen Streit sachgerecht weiterzuführen und warf ihnen „totalitäres“ Verhalten vor.

Von seinen Kritikern sieht er sich als „Renegat“ beschimpft, der das politische Lager gewechselt habe.

Im Gegenzug nennt er in Anlehnung an Klaus Epstein den Kreis der Historischen Sozialwissenschaft um Hans-Ulrich Wehler die „Neue Orthodoxie“, die teilweise illiberaler sei als die alte Orthodoxie unter den deutschen Historikern vor und während der Fischer-Kontroverse.

1951

The five children were brought to a rather liberal orphan home which made it possible for Imanuel to study after completing his Abitur in 1951 at Carl-Schurz-Gymnasium.

1955

He became a certified translator for French and English at the Auslands- und Dolmetscherinstitut in Germersheim, which allowed him to finance studies beginning in 1955.

Geiss died, aged 81, in Bremen.
