In Memory of Wulf Kansteiner (1964-2025)

It was with great shock and sadness that we heard of the death of Wulf Kansteiner, who passed away suddenly on August 8. We will never forget his commitment to our Leibniz Research Alliance Value of the Past, of which he was a member of the advisory board.

There are no easy answers. But if you can associate places with specific stories, then this social imaginary is part of the ascribed value.
