The unit examines the dynamic, complex history of the Weimar era in Germany and interwar Europe more generally, including case studies on Essen, Berlin, and Munich. It offers insights that help explain the rise of Nazism, political and economic shifts before and after World War I, and social and cultural changes of 1920s and 1930s Germany.
