!!!Heimatforschung

Local Area Studies (German: Heimatforschung), the systematic study of 
the history of, and the phenomena characterising, a geographically and 
socially defined area (Heimat), including the analysis of its 
physiographical, economic, social and cultural features. Frequently a 
field of lay activity, Heimat research lays claim to being regarded as 
a scholarly discipline. Often organised in regional and national 
associations, which also publish periodicals.
