Summary/Abstract: This anniversary volume offers personal accounts from 12 scholars from Germany, Poland as well as the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Lithuania, employed at the German Historical Institute in Warsaw in various times over the period of the Institute’s 30 years of operation. The authors are unanimous: changing the point of view in the course of the research projects realized at the Institute was an enriching experience. They write about dialogical thinking, sharpening their intercultural competences, and new research contexts. Future involvements have often shown the Warsaw point of view to be both valid and fruitful.
