The purpose of this paper is to display a historiography of the Deutsche Christen (German Christian) movement in Germany in the early 20th century.

The thesis should be divided into several sections.

1.) An introduction to the Deutsche Christen movement, it’s history and major figures and events.

2.) A specific exploration of Protestant Christianity (Deutsche Christen and the "Confessing Church" or "Bekennende Kirche") in Berlin in the early-to-mid 20th century. Focus could include specific incidences of Anti-Semitism, struggle with the Third Reich leadership, or a specific Kirche (church) in Berlin. Also an exploration of the blending of Christian theology and the Nazi (National Socialist) ideology may be helpful

3.) The particular case of how the members of the Deutsche Christen were re-integrated into mainstream Christianity in Germany after the end of World War II, with emphasis on Berlin
