PERSÖNLICHE ERFAHRUNGEN UND EINSCHÄTZUNGEN von Hugo Weczerka Abstract: Contributions to the relations between the “Hansischer Geschichts- verein” and “Hansische Arbeitsgemeinschaft” in the German Democratic Republic (1955 –1990) In 2011 Eckhard Müller-Mertens published a book about the Hanseatic associ- ation in the German Democratic Republic (“Hansische Arbeitsgemeinschaft”= AG). This association had been founded in 1955 as a part of the Association for Hanseatic History (“Hansischer Geschichtsverein” = HGV, seat: Lübeck), responsible for the HGV-members living in East Germany. All activities of the AG were meticulously watched by the relevant authorities of the GDR. Against the background of the GDR’s efforts to gain recognition as a state according to international law, the AG was pressed to dissociate itself from the HGV and to try to become an independent member of an international association for hanseatic studies.

  • Philip Grierson Among Belgian Historians and Numismatists
    Peter SPUFFORD PHILIP GRIERSON AMONG BELGIAN HISTORIANS AND NUMISMATISTS hilip grierson was born on 15 november 1910 and spent his early years in the countryside of southern Ireland, then part of the United P Kingdom, where his father, previously a government land-surveyor, was running a small farm. His rural childhood came to an end when his father, a trained accountant, moved to Dublin and embarked on a business career. Philip later regretted that so much of his life had been exclusively urban. A﬇er mediocre local schools in Ireland he was sent to Marlborough, a prestigious boarding school in southern England, and from there took the entrance examination to the University of Cambridge and secured a place at Gonville and Caius College, which was to be his home for the rest of his long life. He was a devout young man, brought up in a somewhat rigid protestant tradition of churchmanship, and regularly read the lessons in his home church, but at some point he was to lose his faith. When the young Philip Grierson arrived in Cambridge from Dublin in 1929 the work of compiling the Cambridge Medieval History was still in ﬔll swing. ﬈e final three volumes were to come out in 1929, 1932 and 1936, under the editorship of Charles Previté-Orton and Zachary Brooke, who were to hold the chair of Medieval History in turn, and were to be his men- tors in Cambidge, along with Michael Oakeshott and George Coulton. It was to be this vast multi-national compilation which provided the background to Philip Grierson’s encyclopaedic knowledge of the political history of medieval Europe.

  • Mystifying the Monarch
    omslag Monarch 31-10-2006 11:04 Pagina 1 Mystifying the Monarch The monarchy: no other political institution proved to be so durable and flexible through its age-long history. Despite the modernization, seculari- zation, and bureaucratization of power, the affective, archaic, and almost timeless relationship between sovereigns and their ‘subjects’ still prevails in several countries. Though troubled by the many recent scandals of their royals, many courts continue to perceive that the perennial maxim ‘the King can do no wrong’ has lost none of its strength. Yet the staging and sacralization of the monarchy in Western Europe have always been interwoven with practices of subversion and banalization. The different discourses aiming at the symbolic construction of royal power can not be studied without considering at the same time the popular appropriation of the official rhetoric. Hence, this collection of essays does not propose a strictly linear narrative from medieval sacralization to postmodern demystification of kingship. Choosing the perspective of the long run between the twelfth and the first half of the twentieth century, it clearly shows how the mystification and demystification of the monarch have always been two sides of the same coin. The contributors are Alain Boureau, Gita Deneckere, Jeroen Deploige, Lisa Jane Graham, Maria Grever, Marc Jacobs, Gilles Lecuppre, Elodie DENECKERE GITA JEROEN DEPLOIGE Lecuppre-Desjardin, Jürgen Pieters, Alexander Roose, Kevin Sharpe, Henk te Velde, Maarten Van Ginderachter, and Jaap van Osta.

  • Before They Were Vikings: Scandinavia and the Franks up to the Death of Louis the Pious
    Before They Were Vikings: Scandinavia and the Franks up to the death of Louis the Pious By Daniel Melleno A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Geoffrey Koziol, Chair Professor Maureen Miller Professor Maura Nolan Spring 2014 Copyright © 2014 Daniel Melleno All rights reserved Abstract Before They Were Vikings: Scandinavia and the Franks up to the death of Louis the Pious by Daniel Melleno Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Geoffrey Koziol, Chair Using textual and archaeological evidence to examine patterns of interaction and relationship between Francia and Scandinavia from 700-840 this dissertation demonstrates that the Viking attacks of the ninth century were not a sudden rupture of relations between Scandinavia and the wider world, nor a demonstration of unbridled violence. Rather, the attacks were part of an ongoing narrative of commerce, diplomacy, and strife between the Frankish Empire and its northern neighbors which began long before the Viking Age. Coin finds and excavations, accounts of merchants bearing luxury goods between trade sites, and stories of Frankish slaves taken from their homes connect Francia and Scandinavia across the North Sea. Chapter One of this dissertation focuses on these long lasting commercial links. At the heart of this trade lay Frisia, home of the emporium of Dorestad. Dorestad’s location as the cross roads between the North Sea and the heart of the Frankish Empire allowed Frankish, Frisian, and Scandinavian merchants to carry goods back and forth across the North Sea while at the same time facilitating the movement of ideas and cultural exchange.

  • Linen, Silver, Slaves, and Coffee: a Spatial Approach to Central Europe’S Entanglements with the Atlantic Economy
    Culture & History Digital Journal 4(2) December 2015, e020 eISSN 2253-797X doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3989/chdj.2015.020 Linen, Silver, Slaves, and Coffee: A Spatial Approach to Central Europe’s Entanglements with the Atlantic Economy Klaus Weber European University Viadrina Große Scharrnstraße 59,D - 15230 Frankfurt (Oder) e-mail: [email protected] Submitted: 5 September 2014. Accepted: 1 June 2015 ABSTRACT: In German scholarship of the post-war period, the category of space was regarded as discredited, be- cause of its abuse during the Nazi period. This applies in particular to the 1970s and 80s, when novel approaches in social and economic history were developed. Research on proto-industrialisation, broadly examining its internal structures, did not take into account the export orientation of Central Europe’s early modern commodity production. At the same time, the expanding research on Europe’s Atlantic empires, including the trans-Atlantic slave trade, did hardly take notice of the manufactures from the Holy Roman Empire, distributed all around the Atlantic basin. This paper examines those conditions favouring German proto-industries which are relevant for a ‘spatial approach’ to the phenomenon. It also covers the late medieval beginnings of this process, in order to demonstrate the continuity of Central Europe’s entanglement with the Atlantic world. The paper further emphasises that any future research using spatial categories must be aware of the ideological contamination of the German term ‘Raum’ during the 19th and 20th century. The interlace of economic and social history with historiography demands a compilation from current and older research literature, some of it on different regions and subjects.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT This thesis attempts to use the exceptionally rich archives of the German Order to reveal something of the actuality of life in an aristocratic ecclesiastical corporation in society and under stress between c. 1410 and 1466. It differs from previous histories of the Order in that it attempts to combine analysis of long­ term social change with a narrative of political events. The first chapter attempts to characterise German peasant society on the Marienburger Werder in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. It seeks to give precision to social and economic relationships and argues that peasant communal organisation and powers of resis­ tance to seigneurial coercion were not retarded in medieval Prussia.

  • The Hanse in Medieval and Early Modern Europe: an Introduction
    THE HANSE IN MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN EUROPE: AN INTRODUCTION Justyna Wubs-Mrozewicz The Hanse Game Just for fun, let’s imagine that the scholars who contributed to this volume did not meet at an international congress. Instead, they gathered to play a board game called ‘The Hanse: 500 years in the Baltic and North Sea’. They enjoyed a bite of bread with herring and a good glass of beer, distributed pawns, joked about winning and cooked up crafty strategies. Yet, scholars being scholars, they first squabbled about the rules of the game: Carsten: ‘Why is Lübeck in the middle of the board? Come on, guys, there’s gotta be a better starting point for the Game! After all, Lübeck wasn’t the centre of the Hanseatic world from the word go. Also, nobody could count on selling his goods there, so “Go directly to Lübeck, collect 250 marks” is wrong.’ Edda: ‘Wait, before we start: it’s all about trade at sea. But the game doesn’t have any instructions about what happens if something goes wrong, like shipwreck, piracy and stuff like that. Worse yet, the Hanse didn’t have a unified set of rules about this. Each town made up its own. So we’re gonna to have to work through those Jeopardy and Chance cards carefully before we start!’ Sofia: ‘Hey, that’s true for all the other commercial regulations, like sales contracts. Each town had its own bylaws, just look at Scandinavia! And right at the beginning we can chuck that old bit of nonsense about how Lübeck law smoothed out all the differences that mattered.
