The Erfurt historian Dr. Steffen Raßloff has dealt with the history of Germany and its green heart in two new publications. "German History", published by the renowned Dorling Kindersley publishing house, provides an overview from the beginnings to the present day. Written by proven experts, the volume is characterized by its vividness. Raßloff has covered the dramatic epochs from the German Empire in 1871 to the end of the Second World War in 1945.
The Rhino Westentaschen-Bibliothek volume "Thuringia. Green Heart with a Great History" highlights the unique density of cultural and natural treasures in the Free State around the UNESCO World Heritage Wartburg Castle, Weimar and Erfurt. Thuringia has also been known as the "Green Heart of Germany" since the 19th century due to its beautiful natural surroundings. Recently, this deeply rooted motto has also been taken up again by the Free State. Thuringian Forest, Thuringian Slate Mountains and Saale reservoirs, Hainich World Heritage Site, Eichsfeld, Southern Harz, Kyffhäuser, Hainleite, Thuringian Woodland and Rhön - the Green Heart is associated with great history everywhere.
Dr. Steffen Raßloff (born 1968) is the author of standard works such as "Mitteldeutsche Geschichte", "Geschichte Thüringens" and "Geschichte der Stadt Erfurt", as well as co-author of the encyclopaedia "Deutsche Geschichte". As a regional historian and member of the Historical Commission for Thuringia, he is also interested in popular scientific dissemination. Raßloff has also campaigned for the return of the slogan "Green Heart of Germany".
