Heiko Haumann (born 9 February 1945) is a German historian and retired academic scholar.
Born in Attendorn, Haumann studied history, political science, sociology and education at the University of Marburg and the Goethe University Frankfurt. In 1969, he graduated with the Staatsexamen , and in 1971 he received his doctorate. After working at the University of Marburg and the University of Freiburg, from 1991 to 2010, he was Professor of Eastern European and Modern General History at the Department of History of the University of Basel. [1]
Haumann methodologically represents a life-world-oriented microhistorical approach in the study of history. This approach places the people or the perspective of the historical actors at the centre of the observation in order to arrive at insights on the structural level from there. He wrote among others a History of Russia. His research on Eastern European Jewry led to the creation of the book History of the Eastern Jews. The work focuses on the everyday life of the Eastern Jews as well as their political and religious positions. Among Haumann's most important students are Carmen Scheide, Monica Rüthers, Jörn Happel and Ralph Tuchtenhagen. Haumann was a "permanent contributor" to the journal Das Argument in the 1980s. [2] [3]
Since 1983, Haumann lives in Yach , a district of Elzach, where he is, among others, a member of the Heimat- und Landschaftspflegeverein (local history and landscape conservation association). [4]

The section from Freiburg to Breisach was completed in 1871 and the remainder in 1878.
