Abstract	2015 marks the 80th anniversary of the first publication of Herbert Grundmann's monumental study Religious Movements in the Middle Ages and the 20th anniversary of its translation into English. Part of a strand exploring the origins and impact of Grundmann's historiographical legacy, this session investigates historical influences of the 1930s on his analytical frameworks and methodology. Of particular interest is the relationship between his conception of 'religious movements' in the context of National Socialism, Geistesgeschichte and Marxism.
