Theodor Mommsen, who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1902 for his “Roman History” is one of the outstanding German historians of all time. His scholarship is as impressive as it is seminal, and is appreciated even today: every path in Roman historical studies leads to him. However, Mommsen’s importance is not limited to his work as an historian and organiser of historical research; as a convinced liberal, he also took an energetic part in political affairs of his time.
The present volume contains lectures delivered by renowned scholars from Germany, Italy and Norway at the Free University of Berlin to mark the 100th anniversary of Mommsen’s death on 1st November 2003. The authors pay tribute to the various aspects of Mommsen's personality and work – from his scholarly achievements to his political commitment and his private life and the verdict of posterity – and thus provide a vivid and multi-facetted picture of this great scholar and his age.
Theodor Mommsen, der 1902 für seine "Römische Geschichte" den Literaturnobelpreis erhielt, gehört zweifellos zu den herausragendsten Figuren der deutschen Geschichtswissenschaft. Sein wissenschaftliches Werk ist ebenso beeindruckend wie grundlegend und findet bis heute Anerkennung: Jede Beschäftigung mit der römischen Geschichte führt zu ihm. Doch nicht nur als Historiker und Wissenschaftsorganisator hat Mommsen Bedeutendes geleistet, als überzeugter Liberaler hat er auch energisch in die politischen Fragen seiner Zeit eingegriffen. Nicht ohne Konsequenzen: So bezahlte er seine Teilnahme an der Revolution von 1848 mit dem Verlust der Professur in Leipzig. Später hat sich Mommsen mit Bismarck auseinandergesetzt und im ‚Antisemitismusstreit‘ von 1879/80 gegen Treitschke Stellung bezogen.
Der vorliegende Band vereinigt Vorträge namhafter Wissenschaftler aus Deutschland, Italien und Norwegen, die aus Anlass des 100. Todestages von Theodor Mommsen am 1. November 2003 an der Freien Universität Berlin gehalten wurden. In ihren ebenso informativen wie anschaulichen Beiträgen würdigen die Autoren die vielfältigen Aspekte der Persönlichkeit und des Wirkens Theodor Mommsens – von seinen wissenschaftlichen Leistungen über sein politisches Engagement bis hin zu seinem Privatleben und dem Urteil der Nachwelt – und vermitteln so ein lebendiges, facettenreiches Bild dieses großen Gelehrten und seiner Zeit.
