	Wolfgang Mommsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wolfgang Justin Mommsen (November 5, 1930-August 11, 2004) was a left-wing German historian and the twin brother of Hans Mommsen.
		In Mommsen's view, the foreign policy of the Second Reich was driven by domestic concerns as the German elite sought distractions abroad to hold off demands for democracy at home.
		In the Historikerstreit (historians' dispute), Mommsen took the position that the Holocaust was a uniquely evil event that should not be compared to Stalinist terror in the Soviet Union.

	Hans Mommsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hans Mommsen (November 5, 1930-) is a left-wing German historian and twin brother of Wolfgang Mommsen.
		Mommsen served as professor at Tübingen (1960-1961), Heidelberg (1963-1968) and at the University of Bochum (1968-).
		Like his brother Wolfgang, Mommsen is a champion of the Sonderweg (Special Path) interpretation of German history that sees the ways German society, culture and politics developed in the 19th century as having made the emergence of Nazi Germany in the 20th century virtually inevitable.

	Max Weber Studies
		Wolfgang Mommsen dedicated many essays to Weber’s methodology and concept formation, in particular the ideal type and the typology of the forms of domination.
		Wolfgang Mommsen always put forward his positions emphatically and vigorously and, as was in his nature, he was not shy of conflict yet also ready to achieve compromises.
		The ‘Brothers Mommsen’ were nationally and internationally respected and influential figures speaking for the self-awareness of the political culture of the Federal Republic, and they intervened in numerous controversies championing a culture of democratic citizenship.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk \| Special Reports \| Wolfgang Mommsen
		The historian Wolfgang Mommsen, who has died of a heart attack while bathing in the Baltic Sea at the age of 73, was a leading member of a remarkable generation of liberal and left-leaning historians who championed a more critical attitude to the German past from the 1960s onwards.
		On their simultaneous retirement in 1996, the Mommsen twins spoke jointly at a seminars in London and Cambridge: their mutual competitiveness had not diminished with time, and it was almost impossible for other participants to get a word in edgeways as each launched into a string of criticisms of the other's paper.
		Wolfgang was not always an easy character to work with; he could seem arrogant and self-important, though those who knew him well could see through these traditional social attributes of the German professor to the real man underneath.
