| Summary: | Regimes of Twentieth-Century Germany studies how history didactics can contribute to preserving freedom and peace by incorporating an action component into historical consciousness research and by broadening its charter along age target group related, interdisciplinary and international dimensions. This is investigated both on a conceptual and an empirical basis with specific focus on the two dictatorships of twentieth-century Germany. Specifically, there are three objectives. These are further the conceptual development of historical consciousness research by incorporating an action component labeled action consciousness, empirically research knowledge, attitudes and action consciousness of adults as well as the forms of historical cultural socialization both with respect to the NS and the SED dictatorships and derive recommendations for the further development of history didactics. Based on a discussion of the chosen research methodology, a review of the results of the empirical study is presented. |
