Karl Bosl (11 November 1908 – 18 January 1993) was a German regional historian. He held the chair for Bavarian regional history at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich from 1960 until his retirement in 1977.
Bosl was elected a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in 1961, a corresponding member of the Medieval Academy of America in 1970 and of the British Academy the same year.[1] In 1973 he was elected a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences .
In 2011, his conduct during the Second World War, including his links with the Nazi government and his claims of having been a member of the German resistance, were examined in a book by Benjamin Z. Kedar and Peter Herde.[2] He had eulogized the Nazi resistance fighter Robert Limpert at Limpert's funeral in the beginning of attempts to cover up his past association with the Nazi Party.[3]
