Seit einem guten Jahr gibt es ein nationales Fussballmuseum in Deutschland, einen “Ballfahrtsort”. In dieser neuen Institution der deutschen Public History verbindet sich vieles, was für unsere Gegenwart als symptomatisch gelten kann: die besondere und vielfältige Rolle des Fussballsports in einer von Massenmedien durchformatierten Gesellschaft, die deutsche Nationalgeschichte (was immer das auch sein mag) und ihre schillernden Versionen, ein neuartiges politisches Umfeld seit Pegida, AfD, Grexit- und Brexitsorgen und schließlich eine aussenpolitisch langjährig inszenierte “negative Identität” der Deutschen, die seit dem “Sommermärchen”, der Diskussion um das neue “Freiheits- und Einheitsdenkmal” und auch das Berliner Stadtschloss durch eine positive Narration zu ergänzen versucht wird.

Our daily life as researchers is defined by research publications, literature reviews, reports about experiences and discussions, and proposals. That’s self-evident. Right? What is their role for us, in fact? How much do we still read, in order to write? Only very few of us manage to keep a complete survey of current publications, at the very least. Does the bibliographic informed and systematic reading, inevitably, overtax the academic individual today?
