Andreas L. Fuchs

Andreas L. Fuchs is a Research Fellow at the Georg Eckert Institute (GEI) in the Digital Information and Research Infrastructure department. He has been affiliated with the GEI since 2007, except for a period from January 2016 to March 2017 when he worked at the German Historical Institute in Washington DC. Since 2018, he has additionally served as the institute's data protection coordinator.

His educational background includes:

• Magister in Musicology, University of Regensburg (2011)
• Diplom in Catholic Theology, University of Regensburg (2003)
• PhD in Musicology, University of Göttingen (awarded circa 2014)

Fuchs' research spans the intersection of musicology, religious studies, and history, with a focus on Jewish educational media and 19th-century cultural transformations. His dissertation examined synagogue song in Jewish reform movements, while his DFG-sponsored project 'Innovation through Tradition?' analyzed cultural shifts via Jewish educational materials. He has also pioneered digital research infrastructures through the edumeres.net platform.

His publication record reveals dual thematic streams: historical analyses of Jewish educational media and Reformation-era schooling, alongside technical contributions to digital scholarship infrastructure. Early works (2011-2012) document edumeres.net's development as a collaborative research environment, while later publications (2017-2018) synthesize a decade of digital networking in textbook research and examine regional educational impacts of the Reformation.
