Zeitungen von gestern für das Lernen von morgen?

Based on the considerations of a cultural and historical media history, these essays take different perspectives to show how historical learning can succeed with the assistance of historical newspapers. These are suitable source materials for history lessons as they deal with a variety of topics. In addition to the classical political historical perspective, they allow an in-depth work on economic, social, everyday life, cultural or even mentality historical issues. Apart from questions about choice of materials and thematic emphasis the authors discuss specific domain competencies, which can be promoted by the use of newspapers in history lessons.
