Under the term mobilities, researchers are investigating the connections between various forms of spatial movement (from alpine tourism to forced migration) as well as between movement and standstill. The article presents the history of mobility as a heterogeneous cross-sectional area. This encompasses several fields of research such as transportation, environmental, migration, tourism and global history. The article recapitulates theoretical and methodological considerations from interdisciplinary mobility studies and highlights current research topics, potentials and limitations of mobility history.}, language = {en} }
