AB - This article attempts to investigate the role and status of Keijo Imperial University during the Japanese imperial rule of Korea by examining the characteristics of the German historical literature possessed by Keijo Imperial University These books be examined and linked to the education and research that took place at Keijo Imperial University. The analysis of the German historical literature clearly shows the intention to promote, legitimize, and facilitate the colonial regime. First, a variety of books on the historical methodology, a complete collection of a number of famous historians, and the historical literature covering every corner of the world show the ambition of Keijo Imperial University as part of the “Imperial” university system to pursue academic neutrality and universal culturalism. Secondly, the intention to cope with the practical needs of running the imperial regime and facing imminent warfare is also reflected, for example, in the comprehensive literature on the related social policies, the war-related topics, and various aspect of National Socialism. When it comes to the role of the vast body of German historical literature in the formation of history education within the Keijo Imperial university, the significance of German historicism cannot be overlooked. It seems not to be an exaggeration to say that almost all the major works written by the masters of German historicism such as Leopold von Ranke, Johann Gustav Droysen, and Ludwig Riess among others ware possessed by Keijo Imperial University. Indeed, these books were used by Kaneko Gosuke, the only Western history professor in the formative period of the Keijo Imperial University, evident in both his education and research.
