Heiko Haumann (born 9 February 1945) is a German historian and retired academic scholar.
This approach places the people or the perspective of the historical actors at the centre of the observation in order to arrive at insights on the structural level from there.
The work focuses on the everyday life of the Eastern Jews as well as their political and religious positions.
Among Haumann's most important students are Carmen Scheide, Monica Rüthers, Jörn Happel and Ralph Tuchtenhagen.
