Dr Daniel Schönpflug was born in 1969, and is a guest lecturer at the Free University, Berlin, and the academic coordinator at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (WIKO). He specializes in European history from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, focusing on social and cultural history.

Schönpflug’s study of the immediate aftermath of the first world war brings a fresh and varied perspective to a familiar narrative, and reminds one of the brief period of optimism and hope that came out of the carnage and chaos.
