Abstract
Comparative historiography is a methodical procedure which compares two or more cases from different contexts. The aim can either be to bring out similarities and differences or to contribute to the discusion on general structural and functional assumptions. Although-historical comparison has been required since the 1920s, it still plays a minor role in nationally oriented historiographies. It has, above all, been able to evolve in those areas where social science theories were commonly referred to or where the national framework for the conception of history itself was questioned or qualified. Historical comparison has found a firmer footing in social history and the history of society than in cultural and political history. In transfer history and international history complementary approaches to comparative procedures have emerged whcih evaluate relationship networks and invite to expand the comparison to other continents.
