- Abstract
The article outlines the history of the German Anthropological Association in light of the specificities of German political history and the particularities of the development of the discipline in the German context. Important milestones include the National Socialist era, post-war 'reconstruction', the 1968 student movement and German reunification. The article also discusses the contemporary challenges faced by the association in the face of changing academic contexts in which anthropologists work, the broadening range of professional fields in which they engage, and new demands placed upon the discipline by the public and the standards of ethics in contemporary anthropology.
