Zusammenfassung:The Max Planck Society, currently operating 86 independent institutes, is dedicated to fundamental research in the natural sciences, as well as in the social sciences and humanities. It enjoys worldwide recognition as an institution for non-university research and research funding. This volume comprehensively presents its history from its founding to the first decade of the 20th century, the result of several years of research by an interdisciplinary research team. It examines a central chapter of German scientific history in its European and global context, based on materials evaluated here for the first time. At the same time, it offers new insights into the social history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The volume is edited by Jürgen Renn, Carsten Reinhardt, and Jürgen Kocka, together with Florian Schmaltz, Birgit Kolboske, Jaromír Balcar, and Alexander von Schwerin.
