Karl Maria Prosper Laurenz Brandi (20 May 1868 – 9 March 1946) was a German historian.[1]

In 189091, he wrote his dissertation on the Reichenauer documents: Die Reichenauer Urkundenfälschungen, which served as Volume 1 of Quellen und Forschungen zur Geschichte der Abtei Reichenau. He followed his teacher to Berlin in 189195. The Munich Historical Commission directed him to complete the posthumous works on August von Druffel's contributions to imperial history and the Council of Trent, Monumenta Tridentina. In 1895 he completed his own habilitation in Göttingen. From 1902 until his retirement in 1936, and again, from the outbreak of World War II until shortly before his death, he held a professorship for German History at the University of Göttingen. His study of the court of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, maintaining it was an amalgamation of Burgundian and Spanish traditions is considered a ground breaking, although problematic, shift in the study of the importance of Charles' reign.[1][2]
