Thielen is co-author (besides Helmut Knocke) of Hanover: Art and Cultural Lexicon, [de] 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 2002 Hanover Biographic Lexicon, [de ], and of the Hanover City Lexicon. [de ][1]
First in 1998, Thielen and Waldemar R. Röhrbein, the retired director of the Historisches Museum Hannover,[3] wrote the book Jewish Personalities in Hanover's History (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 a 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 the November pogroms 75 years earlier.[4][3]
