Allen Ländern Skandinaviens und des Ostseeraums besonders verbunden: Internationale Schwerpunktsetzung und Profilbildung der Universität Kiel (1945–2000)

"Internationalisation", "profile building" and "marketing" are buzzwords of modern university management. With "Denmark", "the North" and "the Baltic Sea region", Kiel University has focused on a space with positive public connotations in its contacts abroad since 1945, although much of the cultivation of relationships took place on an individual-personal level and was not always provided with a budget. Through the selection of sources and the combination of historical-critical methodology with current tools of university management, the author presents the formation of an interdisciplinary and inter-faculty international focus of a university in the socio-political interplay of the post-war period in West Germany, the division of Germany and the end of the Cold War.
