Life
Stefanie Schüler-Springorum was born in Hamburg, West Germany, a year after the sudden appearance of the Berlin Wall to the east. Her father was the Tehran-born German Professor of Jurisprudence and Criminality, de (1928-2015).[3] She grew up in Hamburg, Göttingen and Munich.[4] Her university level studies covered Medieval and Modern History, Ethnology and Political Science, taking her to Göttingen and Barcelona.[4] She received her doctorate in 1993 from Bochum in return for a substantial piece of work on the Jewish minority in Königsberg between 1871 and 1945.[5] Her doctorate was supervised by de (who did much to focus her choice of topic) and Hans Mommsen. The dissertation won her the distinction of a "summa cum laude" grading.[5]
Between 1994 and 1995 she worked as a research assistant at the "Topography of Terror" ("Topographie des Terrors") Foundation in Berlin.[6] where she remains a member of the advisory board.[7] Since 1999 she has also held a teaching post at the Technical University of Berlin.[4] In 2001 she took over from de as director of the Institute for the History of German Jews at the Leo Baeck Institute in Germany. She also, in 2009, took over as chair of the Institute's Academic Working Group, of which she had been a member since 1996.[4] For many years she has taught at Hamburg University where between 2001 and 2011 she led the Institute for the History of German Jews ("Institut für die Geschichte der deutschen Juden").[6] In June 2011 Stefanie Schüler-Springorum succeeded Wolfgang Benz as director of the Centre for Anti-Semitism Research (Zentrum für Antisemitismusforschung / ZfA).[8]
Focus
Her work is centred on German history and German Jewish history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. She has also undertaken work on gender history and on twentieth century Spanish history, with a particular focus on the Spanish Civil War.[9]
