After the end of WWII, Herbert Franke, along with Wolfgang Bauer, was instrumental in establishing the Sinological Section in the University of Munich. Later, he succeeded Erich Haenisch as the head of the Sinology Department at that university.[2]
He is one of the authors of volume 6 of The Cambridge History of China dealing with history of China under the Khitan, Jurchen and Mongol regimes.
