History
The society was initially founded by Wilhelm Raimund Beyer in 1953 as the Deutsche Hegel-Gesellschaft (German Hegel Society) at the city of Nuremberg, to bring together scholars from both sides of the Iron Curtain. The society acquired its current name as the Internationale Hegel-Gesellschaft in the second international congress of 1958.[2][1][3]
