(Photo: University of Basel, Eleni Kougionis) Stadt.Geschichte.Basel (City.History.Basel) provides the city of Basel with a new full representation of its own history in a total of ten volumes. Numerous researchers at the University of Basel are involved in the project as both editors and authors. The comprehensive work is more than just a chronological account of events. It's a special moment when Lucas Burkart, professor of medieval and Renaissance history, and Susanna Burghartz, professor emerita of Early Modern history, remove the protective paper from the books. They have been working on this project for a long time as both authors and members of the editorial board. Now they have the first four volumes of Stadt.Geschichte.Basel before them, which focus on the history of the city of Basel from 50,000 BCE to the present.
