Overview
Forschungen zur Brandenburgischen und Preussischen Geschichte (FBPG) is a German-language academic journal dedicated to research on the history of Brandenburg and Prussia. It is published twice a year by the historians Wolfgang Neugebauer of Berlin and Frank-Lothar Kroll of Chemnitz on behalf of the Prussian Historical Commission and the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage. The journal publishes scholarly articles, conference and research reports, collected papers, and reviews, all in German. The journal was founded by the historian Johannes Kunisch and has been published again since 1991 by the Berlin publisher Duncker & Humblot, after an interruption in 1944. Its first edition appeared in 1888. In its early years it was also published by Duncker & Humblot in Leipzig; from 1923 to 1933 it was published by R. Oldenbourg Verlag in Munich and Berlin, and from 1934 to 1944 by the Association for the History of the March of Brandenburg in Berlin-Dahlem. Supplements have been published since 1992. As a specialized historical journal, FBPG serves the academic community interested in the regional history of Brandenburg and Prussia, including political, social, cultural, and administrative history. Its editorial sponsorship by the Prussian Historical Commission and the Secret State Archives underlines its institutional anchoring in German historical scholarship. The journal is archived by Portico and indexed by Mir@bel, and it maintains a presence through H-Soz-u-Kult, a major German-language platform for historical studies. The journal is not a commercial consumer brand but an academic publishing product. Its publisher, Duncker & Humblot, is a long-established German scholarly publishing house based in Berlin. The journal's continuity from 1888 to the present, with a hiatus during and after World War II, reflects both the resilience of German historical scholarship and the enduring interest in Prussian and Brandenburg history.
