Digital Portfolio

In the course of editing the Max Weber-Gesamtausgabe resources were developed in order to facilitate the editorial work, among them bibliographies, databases and general registers. They are based on the edition’s collection inventories and they also record all viewed material, even if located in different places. All this resulted in valuable scientific tools of substantial interest for Weber scholars, made available here. 

Bibliography of Max Weber’s works

The bibliography comprises all of the handed-down writings by Max Weber, edited in sections I und III of the Max Weber-Gesamtausgabe. Titles are registered in accordance with chronology and text categories (status as of October 2002; an update will follow soon). The registered titles are present as first editions or copies at the Max Weber Office Munich.
