Nils Havemann (born on January 7, 1966) is a German political scientist, historian and lecturer.
Life of Nils Havemann
Havemann studied history, Romance languages and political science in Bonn, Paris and Salamanca. He received his doctorate in 1996 from the University of Bonn on Spain in the calculation of German foreign policy and works as a lecturer in Mainz and for the German Historical Museum in Berlin.
He became known in 2005 for his study Fußball unterm Swastika, commissioned by the German Football Association (DFB), with which he stimulated a diverse discussion about the DFB in the Third Reich and projects of many German football clubs on Nazi history. In 2013, a three-year research project at the University of Stuttgart resulted in “the first scientific study on the Bundesliga to be conducted from the sources – beyond the newspaper articles”. According to the reviewer Jürgen Mittag, it could “claim to be a fundamental work for further research into recent German football history”.
