Южный край. – 1897. – 7 июня (№ 5636)

Am 13. Oktober 2000 starb der Historiker Peter Borowsky, ein "Schüler" Fritz Fischers, im Alter von 62 Jahren. Nahezu vier Jahrzehnte hat er an der Universität Hamburg gewirkt: als Student, Wissenschaftlicher Assistent, Wissenschaftlicher Oberrat und Privatdozent für Neuere und Neueste Geschichte. Im Jahre 1996 wurde ihm der Titel "Professor" verliehen; eine Professorenstelle jedoch blieb ihm verwehrt. Als Autor auflagenstarker Geschichtswerke erreichte Peter Borowsky ein großes Publikum. Die gemeinsam mit Barbara Vogel und Heide Wunder verfasste, 1975 erstmals erschienene Einführung in die Geschichtswissenschaft ist bis heute ein wissenschaftlicher "Bestseller"; Borowskys Hitler-Biographie für Jugendliche und seine Überblicksdarstellungen zur Deutschen Geschichte nach 1945 erlebten ebenfalls zahlreiche Auflagen. Der Schwerpunkt seines Wirkens aber lag in der akademischen Lehre, in der er Herausragendes leistete. Generationen von Geschichtsstudierenden wurden von ihm unterrichtet, betreut und geprägt – an der Universität Hamburg wie am Smith College, Northampton/Massachusetts, wo der Gelehrte seit 1974 regelmäßig eine Gastprofessur wahrnahm. Die Partnerschaft zwischen diesen beiden Hochschulen wurde von Peter Borowsky geradezu verkörpert. Die akademischen Gedenkveranstaltungen zu seinen Ehren – im Februar 2001 an der Universität Hamburg und im folgenden Monat am Smith College – vermittelten davon einen bewegenden Eindruck. Eine Auswahl der dort sowie zuvor bei der Trauerfeier auf dem Friedhof Nienstedten gehaltenen Reden ist in diesem Heft zusammengefasst. Zeitgleich ist am 3. Juni 2003, dem 65. Geburtstag Peter Borowskys, eine umfangreiche Gedenkschrift erschienen, deren Titel Lebendige Sozialgeschichte Borowskys Forschungsfelder inhaltlich wie methodisch andeuten und zugleich seine besondere Art, Geschichte zu vermitteln, akzentuieren soll.On October 13, 2000 the historian Peter Borowsky, a "pupil" of Fritz Fischer, died at the age of 62. He has worked at the University of Hamburg for almost four decades: as a student, research assistant, senior scientific officer and private lecturer for modern and contemporary history. In 1996, he was awarded the title of "Professor"; however, he was denied a professorship. As an author of high-circulation historical works, Peter Borowsky reached a large audience. Written jointly with Barbara Vogel and Heide Wunder, the introduction to history first published in 1975 is still a scientific "best-seller"to this day; Borowsky\u27s Hitler biography for young people and his overview of German history after 1945 also experienced numerous editions. However, the focus of his work was on academic teaching, in which he achieved outstanding results. Generations of history students were taught, supervised and shaped by him - at the University of Hamburg as well as at Smith College, Northampton/Massachusetts, where the scholar has regularly held a visiting professorship since 1974. The partnership between these two universities was embodied by Peter Borowsky. The academic commemoration ceremonies in his honour - in February 2001 at the University of Hamburg and the following month at Smith College - conveyed a moving impression. A selection of the speeches given there and previously at the funeral service at the Nienstedten cemetery is summarized in this booklet. At the same time, an extensive commemorative volume was published on June 3, 2003, the 65th anniversary of Peter Borowsky\u27s birth, the title "Lebendige Sozialgeschichte. Borowskys Forschungsfelder" (Living Social History. Borowskys Research Fields) is intended to emphasize the content and methodology of Borowsky\u27s work and at the same time to accentuate his special way of conveying history
