Sandra Panzner studied history, Eastern European history, and theater and media studies in Erlangen and Jena. In her dissertation, she examines the Royal Municipal Theater in Pest as a central location for social negotiations in the multi-ethnic urban society against the backdrop of the nation-building processes of the Habsburg Monarchy. Her research interests include changing spatial paradigms in a global context, architectural history, cultural representations of political concepts of order in Eastern Central Europe, the transnational network of European opera, and public history.
