Gerhart and Lieselott Enders as Scientists, Teachers, and Parents. On the Occasion of the 100th Anniversary of Gerhart Enders’ Birthday and the 15th Anniversary of Lieselott Enders’ Death

Abstract

Peter M. Enders

This is a homage to Lieselott (1927 – 2009) and Gerhart Enders (1924 – 1972). They were great scientists and teachers, and lovely parents. Lieselott Enders’ academic legacy consists mainly of the ‘Historisches Ortslexikon für Brandenburg’, of which she was the spiritus rector and most of whose volumes were written by her, and the three comprehensive volumes on the history of the Uckermark, Prignitz, and Altmark from the Middle Ages till 1815. Gerhart Enders’ main academic legacy is, of course, his ‘Archivverwaltungslehre’ (Archival Management Science, 11962, 31968, 32004) [1]. This article sketches their scientific work as well as their personalities as colleagues, teachers, and parents.
