Abstract
In the 20th century, there were interactions with regard to the relationship between security and freedom in Europe in specific constellations as (symmetrical or asymmetrical) negotiation processes, and often also as conflicts about different perceptions, concepts and measures. A historical security research study with an interdisciplinary character must analyze this conflict within individual states, but also work out and explain the similarities and differences between the political cultures of different countries on a comparative basis. A consistent historization of "security" ultimately serves as a political-social self-understanding, but also as knowledge of the stranger and the other. Not only are new sensual spaces and spaces of experience opened up, but competence in intercultural dialogues is also conveyed.
