Theodor Schieder (11 April 1908 – 8 October 1984) was an influential mid-20th century German historian. Born in Oettingen, Western Bavaria, he relocated to Königsberg in East Prussia in 1934 at the age of 26.[1] [p. 56] He joined the Nazi Party in 1937.[2] During the Nazi era, Schieder became part of a group of German conservative historians antagonistic towards the Weimar Republic.[2] He pursued a racially-oriented social history (Volksgeschichte),[3] and warned about the supposed dangers of Germans mixing with other nations.[4] During this time, Schieder used ethnographic methods to justify German supremacy and expansion.[5] He was the author of the "Memorandum of 7 October 1939",[6][7] calling for Germanization of the recaptured Polish territories after the Invasion of Poland.[4][8] His suggestions were later incorporated in the German Generalplan Ost.[6] After the war, he settled in West Germany and worked at the University of Cologne.[9]
