Thielen is co-author (besides Helmut Knocke) of Hannover. Kunst- und Kultur-Lexikon, a lexicon of Hanover's art and culture,[2] published in 1994 by Zu Klampen Verlag,[1] with a 4th edition in 2007. He is co-editor, author and designer of the Hannoversches biographisches Lexikon (2002) and of the Stadtlexikon Hannover.[1]
First in 1998, Thielen and Waldemar R. Röhrbein, the retired director of the Historisches Museum Hannover,[3] wrote a book about Jewish personalities in the history of Hanover, Jüdische Persönlichkeiten in Hannovers Geschichte. It is organised as a history of the city, beginning in 1303,[3] with a focus on the contributions of Jewish personalities, rather than individual biographies. Around hundred persons are described in some detail,[4] including the principal violinist of the court orchestra, Joseph Joachim.[3] A second edition, completely revised by Thielen, appeared in 2013, in memory of 75 years after the November pogroms.[4][3]
