The history of religions school[1] (German Religionsgeschichtliche Schule) is a term applied to a group of German Protestant theologians associated with the University of Göttingen in the 1890s.

Related were Carl Mirbt (1888), Carl Clemen (1892), Heinrich Weinel (1899) and in his early years Paul Wernle (1897).
