Central European history is understood to include all German-speaking countries as well as areas previously included within the Habsburg monarchy. The Central European History Society discourages submissions of reprints, second editions, multi-authored anthologies, and document publications.  The award will be announced in Chicago, January 2012, at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association.

Hans Rosenberg Article Prize

The Central European History Society awards the biennial Hans Rosenberg Article Prize, which distinguishes the best English-language article or essay on central European history written by permanent residents of North America.   The Central European History Society thus solicits nominations from authors, journal editors, presses, and third parties for the best article or essay published in 2009 or 2010.  The prize committee will consider journal articles as well as individual essays from anthologies or collections.  Re-printed essays are not eligible; articles and essays published outside North America are, of course, considered.  Central European history is understood to include the history of Germany, Austria, and other German-speaking regions of Central European, from the medieval era to the present.  The award will be announced in Chicago, January 2012, at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association.
