Profile
Hansjakob Ziemer received his PhD in Modern History from the Humboldt University in 2007. In his thesis he dealt with the cultural history of concert life in the beginning of the 20th century in Frankfurt am Main in order to show the concert hall as a site where society came to terms with the cultural and social consequences of Modernity. He is also working on the history of emotions, of concert hall architecture, and of musicology. His next project will address the history of journalistic knowledge in the 19th and 20th centuries.Selected publications
