Life

Blaschke was born in Bielefeld, a substantial manufacturing city located between Dortmund and Hanover. He undertook his first university level studies at Bielefeld University, concluding in 1991. During this period he achieved a Master of Arts degree and passed both levels of the national teaching qualification.[2]

In 1996 he received his doctorate from Bielefeld for a work (subsequently published as a book

German Federal Republic.[1] His habilitation (qualification) followed in 2006, based on a piece of work entitled "Publishers make History. Comparisons between Germany and Britain of the Book Market for Historical publications since 1945".[2]

In 2007, and again from 2008 till 2012, Blaschke took over the teaching chair in Modern History at Trier, deputising for Andreas Gestrich.[6] In 2012 he became teaching professor in modern and contemporary history at Heidelberg.[2] Since the summer term of 2014 he has held a temporary professorship in nineteenth and twentieth century history, with particular focus on Historical Theory and Method, at the University of Münster.[7]

Blaschke also has an academic presence outside Germany. During 2001/2002, supported by a

Feodor Lynen Bursary from the Humboldt Foundation, he spent a year in Cambridge as a visiting scholar, during which time he held a visiting fellowship at St Catharine's College.[3] The central location of the college, close to the old headquarters of the Cambridge University Press, was appropriate to the work he was undertaking – subsequently written up for his habilitation – on the changing relationship between publishers and academic authors between 1945 and 1980.[3] Subsequently, in 2003, he became a stipendiate of the German Historical Institute London. This was followed in 2004/2005 with a year in southern Sweden as a guest professor at Lund University.[2]
