    Content: Die deutsche Geschichtswissenschaft hat erst spät damit begonnen, ihre Rolle im Nationalsozialismus aufzuarbeiten und unbequemen Wahrheiten ins Gesicht zu sehen. Dazu gehörten nicht zuletzt dunkle Punkte in der Vergangenheit von bewunderten Größen des Fachs wie Werner Conze, Hans Rothfels, Theodor Schieder - und Otto Brunner, der noch in den 1950er Jahren zu einem der einflussreichsten Historiker der jungen Bundesrepublik aufstieg. Hans-Henning Kortüm zeichnet Brunner als kämpferischen Nationalsozialisten, dessen völkische Überzeugungen auch sein Nachkriegswerk prägten. Er stützt sich dabei auf bislang kaum bekanntes Aktenmaterial und auf das Manuskript eines lange verschollenen Buchs, das ein bezeichnendes Licht auf Otto Brunner wirft.
    Content: The article analyses the structural and biographical conditions for the Reich career of the Austrian medievalist Otto Brunner (1898-1982), which already became foreseeable during the 1930s and rapidly took up speed after the Anschluss of Austria in 1938. He proved to be a fervent adherent of the Nazi regime until the bitter end, which is especially revealed in his function as head of the Volksdeutsche Forschungsgemeinschaften [Ethnic German Research Councils] between 1940 and 1944 and in his connected relentless publishing and historical career, his reception of the reactivated Verdun Prize in 1943, his intensive attempts to gain Nazi Party membership (ultimately successful in 1943), his manuscript “Deutschlands Schicksalsweg” [Germany’s Destiny] of 1944, which was long considered lost, but indeed survived, albeit only in the form of the proofs, and his close collaboration with Amt Rosenberg even in January 1945. When he succeeded to jump-start his professional career in the young Federal Republic again in the 1950s through the help of old fellow travellers, he was able to continue with the study of the most important topics which had kept him busy during the “Third Reich” with only minor modifications. This was supported by structural peculiarities of the academic discipline of history as well as wide-spread West German historical conservatism, which was connected with a strong desire for a fundamentally different interpretation of the Middle Ages.
