As one of eight research museums of the Leibniz Association, our task is the researching of the history of German seafaring, taking the global context into consideration. Scientists from social and cultural history, economic and corporate history, science and technological history as well as maritime archaeology all work at the German Maritime Museum. The many very different angles help to form a complete picture: Which ecological, economic, technical and social circumstances have influenced the relationship between people and the sea? Our work makes an important contribution in the global network to the understanding of the Anthropocene era.
