Life
Lutz Raphael was born in Essen.[4] He studied History, Romance studies, Philosophy and Sociology at Münster and Paris between 1974 and 1984. It was at Münster that he received his doctorate with a doctorate entitled "Partei und Gewerkschaft" on the trades union strategies of the Communist Parties in Italy and France since 1970.[5] Between 1987 and 1996 he was employed as an academic research assistant at TU Darmstadt.[1] In 1994 his habilitation, received from the TU, opened the way to a lifelong academic career. His dissertation, this time, was entitled "The successors of Bloch and Febvre. Annales-historiography and 'Nouvelle histoire' in France (1945–1980)" ("Die Erben von Bloch und Febvre. Annales-Historiographie und nouvelle histoire in Frankreich 1945–1980").[6] In 1996 he became Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Trier, a position he has retained (2018) for more than twenty years.[3]
Raphael served as a member of the German Council of Science and Humanities between 2007 and 2013. He was a Leibniz Prize winner in 2013. Since 2014 he has been a member of the Mainz-based Academy of Sciences and Literature.[7] During 2015/2016 he was the Gerda Henkel Visiting Professor at the German Historical Institute London.[8]
