Prof. Dr. Martin Papenheim serves as an Adjunct Professor and Private Lecturer for Modern and Contemporary History at the University of Augsburg. He maintains active research affiliations at Ruhr-Universität Bochum as a Research Associate at the Center for Religious Studies, Associate Researcher for SFB 1475 “Metaphors of Religion”, and Member of the CERES Research Department, contributing to interdisciplinary studies on religious phenomena within German historical contexts.
His research centers on the history of new religious movements in the Federal Republic of Germany, with specialized focus on the Neo-Sannyas Movement during the 1970s-1980s, alongside systematic investigations into occultism and Freemasonry. These areas reflect his broader analysis of socio-cultural transformations, political-religious intersections, and translation dynamics between Eastern and Western spiritual traditions in modern German history.
No verifiable records indicate doctoral or master’s students under his supervision, nor specific grant awards beyond documented project leadership. His collaborative framework within the Center for Religious Studies and CERES implies participation in structured research teams, though laboratory facilities or granular team descriptions remain unspecified in available sources.
