Rainer Schulze was a research
fellow at the Arbeitskreis ‘Geschichte des Landes Niedersachsen (nach
1945)’ in Hannover, and taught Modern European History at the Ruhr-Universität
Bochum, Birkbeck College London and Roehampton University, London,
before joining the University of Essex in 1995.
He has written widely on the British military occupation of Germany,
(West) German reconstruction after the Second World War, regional
structural change and German collective memory and identity. He
initiated and designed an exhibition titled ‘Fremde – Heimat –
Niedersachsen’ (Strange(rs) – Home – Lower Saxony) and was involved, as
one of the project leaders, in the development of a new permanent
exhibition at the Gedenkstätte (memorial) Bergen-Belsen, which opened in
October 2007. In 2005, he was appointed a member of the International
Experts’ Commission for the Redevelopment of the Gedenkstätte
Bergen-Belsen, the only member from the UK.
His research interests include the history of Bergen-Belsen, questions
of German collective memory and identity in the twentieth century, the
Second World War and forced migration in Europe, continuity and
discontinuity in twentieth century German history, questions of
regionalism, regional development and construction of regional and
national identities. He is currently preparing a monograph on the
history and memory of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
