What's Special About Archives in Germany? Some Observations

The archival 'landscape' in Germany is colorful and reflects German federalism. The talk tries to characterise this 'landscape' and to illuminate their colorfulness. There is not only a broad variety of archives in Germany, but also a variety of archival communities. To what extend these archives and archival communities work together or merely complement each other is on of the aspects to discuss. Other topics to be adressed: How to become an archivist in Germany? Is there one occupational profile ("Berufsbild") or are there more than one? Does archival science in Germany exist? And last but not least: Is it fun to work as an archivist in Germany?
