Ostforschung (Template:Lang-de) in general describes since the 18th century any German research of areas to the East of Germany. Since the 1990s, the Ostforschung itself is a subject of historic research, while the names of institutes etc. were changed to more specific ones. For example, the journal „Zeitschrift für Ostforschung“ was renamed to „Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung“.

Ostforschung als was the name of a multi-disciplined organisation set up before World War II by Albert Brackmann and several other historians and anthropologists to co-ordinate German research on Eastern Europe, mainly the Second Polish Republic. The research conducted by this organisation, as well as the Ahnenerbe, was instrumental in promoting German political aims such as settlement and the dissemination of German cultural influence within the conquered areas of Eastern Europe (see Generalplan Ost).
