As professor at the Friedrich Meinecke Institute, his main research interests were ideologies, especially fascism, antiziganism, communism, and antisemitism. His positions as an historian were controversial: he saw himself as the only historian defending Daniel Goldhagen in the debate surrounding his book Hitler's Willing Executioners.[2]
