Under the direction of Jan Claas Behrends, the department has been working on war and violence in Eastern Europe from the First World War to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine since 2014. Studies on illegitimate military violence, occupation and war crimes form one focus. The regional focus is on Poland, the USSR, Ukraine and Russia.
From 2014 to 2018, the Graduate School (Graduiertenkolleg): History of Left-Wing Politics in Germany beyond Social Democracy and Communism" was conducted at the ZZF Potsdam with several sub-projects. The Graduate School was established under the auspices of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung (RLS) and funded by the Federal Ministry of Science and Research between 2014 and 2018. Mario Keßler, who was the project co-leader at ZZF and is since 2021 a Senior Fellow at the institute, is working on a book project in this field.
The five departments of the ZZF conduct research on various topics of contemporary history and their connections to the present day.
Our research centres on German and European social history after 1945. We also analyse contemporary history in its international context; Department V, which deals with globalisation in a divided world, places a particular focus on this. Founded in 2023, it is the youngest department at the ZZF. Many research projects are also conducted across departments, thus promoting internal exchange and networking within the institute.
