Abstract The article explores the relationship between the German historian Reinhart Koselleck (1923-2006) and the Germanjurist Carl Schmitt (1888-1985). It focuses especially on how Koselleck's doctoral thesis ,,Kritik und Krise" (1959) approaches Schmitt's 1938 study on Thomas Hobbes (1938). Both scholars are contextualized in the intellectual and academic milieu of Heidelberg in the early 1950s.
