Friedrich Meinecke, 1862-1954, German historian and intellectual figure.
Meinecke was both a nationalist and a traditionalist; his early historical works, many of them on Prussia, reveal his belief that the state, besides functioning as the repository of power, must serve cultural values and promote individualism.

Meinecke and Croce continuously discuss their notions of the 'individual', returning to the great German philosophers of the 18th and 19th century and to Vico.
Meinecke pondered on historical coincidence again and again during his life, generally accepting it as a necessary 'factor' in history and thus, for him, also in historiography.
Meinecke continued attempts to go beyond historicist conceptions of historical responsibility and denial of coincidence in the initial post-war period; however, the octogenarian did not arrive at a coherent concept.

 Friedrich Meinecke Cosmopolitanism and the National State
  Friedrich Meinecke was born in October 1862 in the Prussian town of Salzwedel as the son of a post office worker.
Meinecke recognised that there had been a transition from (an eighteenth century) cultural cosmopolitanism towards a (ninetenth century) pride in nationality and a conception of the State as a natural expression of nationality - this tendency was not seen by him as being incompatible with an ideal international society.
As late as 1916, in an introduction to a new edition of Ranke's Great Powers, Meinecke depicted a situation where it was necessary that England's maritime supremacy be broken in order to provide the conditions necessary to a new equilibrium in world civilization that would feature equality, competition, and exchange.

 H-Net Review: Troy R.E. Paddock on Die Entstehung des Historismus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Meinecke notes in the opening remarks that the work is in part a corrective to the negative connotations the term has acquired at the expense of the intellectual achievements of historicism.[2]
For Meinecke, the key to the revolution in thought lies in the blending of two ideas -- the importance of the individual and the notion of development, which combined were able to break the stranglehold that Natural Law had on historical thinking.
The standard interpretation of Meinecke holds that World War I caused him to reduce the importance of power politics.[7] Nevertheless, the importance of the state is still evident in Meinecke's work and he never renounces the proposition that the state has a different ethical standard than the individual.

 UVM History Review vol. 6 Dec. 1994: Weber
The third part of the paper will then address the work of Friedrich Meinecke (1862-1954), the predominant German historian of the postwar era, showing that Nolte's revisionism is not a new development, but rathe r the continuation of an existing trend in German historiography.
It is inconceivable that after the fall of Germany, the denazification attempts of the Allied occupation, and the Nuremberg war crimes tribunals, a man of Meinecke's intelligence and stature could remain ignorant of what went on in the Nazi death camps.
Meinecke's work is similar to Nolte's in that he seems to consider the Holocaust unimportant.

 Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Consequently Johann Georg Jacobi (brother of the more famous philosopher Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi) in 1784 was the first Protestant professor teaching at the university in Freiburg.
It is said that Joseph II instructed in his will to offer the professorship in Freiburg to Johann Heinrich Jacobi, probably already guessing the shocked reaction which the citizens of Freiburg would show given the fact that the area around Freiburg was deeply devoted to Catholicism.
Indeed there were considerations by Karl Friedrich, Grand Duke of Baden and Karl, Grand Duke of Baden to close down the university in Freiburg while both of them thought that the Grand Duchy could not afford to run two universities at the same time (the Ruprecht Karl University of Heidelberg also already existed since 1386).

 IngentaConnect Rethinking Friedrich Meinecke's historicism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
This essay revisits the work of the German historian Friedrich Meinecke and offers new interpretation of his major works, Weltbürgertum und Nationalstaat (1907), Die Ideen der Staatsräson in der neuen Geschichte (1924), and Die Entstehung des Historismus (1936).
The standard interpretation of Meinecke's work maintains that World War I caused a break in his thinking and caused him to rethink the role of power in the state.
This article also discusses what could be called the classical liberal critique of Meinecke's historicism, points to some of its limitations, and offers a more measured criticism of Meinecke that examines him on his own terms—and finds him wanting.
