Dear colleagues,
Those of you who read German and are interested in the institutional history of economics might want to have look at a new webpage that I created with a team of students on the history of the economics faculty at today's Humboldt University in Berlin. It entails, next to a series of short texts, a searchable database of all courses ever given since the foundation of the university in 1812 (about 20.000), ranging from early cameral sciences, over the historicist and inter-war period, national socialism, GDR, to today. The more prominent scholars are Schmoller, Sombart, Stackelberg, Kuczynski, and Uhlig, but many others (1200) less known economists can be traced by their teaching activities, and, if available, short biographies and photographs.
Cordial wishes,
Till Düppe
