About this person
As a critical follower of Leopold von Ranke's famous ideal of writing "history exactly as it happened", Nipperdey sought to explain the interconnectedness of political, social and cultural developments, while avoiding partisanship and rejecting moralistic efforts to see German history before 1933 only in the light of Nazism.
