Environmental history at the university of Augsburg reaches from the antiquity to the present, from the historical recording of climate change, eating habits and contamination to the ecological economics of the Enlightenment. It is equally regional and global. The Network of Environmental History regularly meets at the Institute of European Cultural History (IEK). If you are interested in the historical exploration of the interrelationship between humans and the rest of nature, you are very welcome.

On Friday, May 9, 2025, the 4th network meeting of environmental history will take place from 12 to 2 p.m. in seminar room 201 of the Alte Universit?t (Eichleitnerstr. 30).

In this context, Dr. Lisa Kolb, Chair of Early Modern History, will give a keynote lecture on the topic “Salpeter - ein kritischer Rohstoff im Drei?igj?hrigen Krieg”.
