Research

Rothbacher dealt first with the long-term analysis of social change in Germany, also known as modernization. Here he analyzes key long -term macro-social processes of change in the social subsystems family, health, living conditions and in the cross -sectional analysis, the structures of social inequality. His intention was to apply the perspective of social reporting and social indicators to historical processes and structures.

At the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research ( MZES ) he worked on the construction of the infrastructure department euro Data and the European statistics library. The perspective of modernization (Peter Flora) and the territorial structure of Europe ( Stein Rokkan ) formed the basis for extensive long-term and comparative data collections for the European countries, which appear in the Data Book series, The Societies of Europe. For this series Rothbacher edited the two volumes on the Western European and the band about the Eastern European population.
