BA History (teaching profession) at University of Göttingen

« If you want to measure the narrowness of your homeland, travel. If you want to measure the narrowness of your time, study history. » – Kurt Tucholsky History is an encounter with the unfamiliar, a journey into other times, worlds and cultures.
