History of the Institute
September 2000: The federal government approves the implementation of the “Concept for the Investigation and Presentation of German Culture and History in Eastern Europe”. A new institute is established in Lüneburg as successor to the Institute for Northeast German Cultural Work in Lüneburg and the Research Group in Göttingen, two earlier historical research institutions. The sponsorship of the new institute derives from the Interior Ministry through the newly-created office of a Federal Authority for Culture and Media (BKM).
“The institutions supported by the BKM possess a high degree of competence in research and instruction and are all closely connected with the university system. . . . Thanks to its outstanding understanding of the particular conditions and research situation in the present-day states of central and eastern Europe, and to its linguistic competence, the faculty have considerable importance in helping to determine the advancement of knowledge and the need to strengthen the research presence in universities both at home and abroad, as well as in supplying expert political advice. These goals will be achieved through original research, university instruction and ongoing dialogue with colleagues at home and abroad.”
