Abstract: Styles of scientific thought in German economic geography. Current changes since 1970. In the recent history of economic geography in Germany since 1970, there have been periods of heterogenous and competing styles of thought and one extended period characterised by a dominant style, i.e. a particularly German version of the spatial approach (Raumwirtschaftslehre). This paper begins with an attempt to view these shifts in the context of changes in society and the generations of scholars. Today, German economic geography is shaped by the increasingly dominant impact of ideas from sociology, although important stimuli for economic geography are also coming from the field of economics. The author argues in favour of retaining the economic aspects of economic geographical thought while remaining open to other styles of thought.
