Alltagsgeschichte (German; lit. 'history of the everyday') is a form of microhistory that was particularly prevalent among West German historians during the 1980s. It was founded by Alf Luedtke and Hans Medick.[1] Alltagsgeschichte can be considered part of the wider Marxian historical school of 'history from below'. It challenged the well-known framework of Strukturgeschichte, “structured history”, within the German historical field and advocated for a new model of social history.[2]
