Today, various institutional archives at Humboldt-Universität, the BBAW, the German Archaeological Institute and elsewhere, some of which have only recently started to become accessible, document the work of the Prussian and GDR-researchers in Sudan between political and scientific ideals and realities. The Berlin-based research tradition in Sudan and the changes of scientific ‘Zeitgeist’, due to the upheavals of German and international history until the end of the GDR, are the subject of the conference.
