  • Confraternitas : the Newsletter of the Society for Confraternity Studies
    Hartmut von Cronberg's Statutes of the Heavenly Confraternity. A Perspective from the Early Reformation VICTOR D. THIESSEN In his 1 520 Open Letter to the Christian Nobility ofthe German Nation, Martin Luther called upon secular authorities to reform a number of ecclesiastical institutions and implied that some institutions could be abolished outright. Bruderschaften (confrater- nities) were included in this list. In a brief comment Luther observed that confrater- nities distributed indulgences, masses, and good works, elements of contemporary religious practice for which he had little use. Luther allowed that confraternities that truly served the poor and needy should be maintained, but he believed that such confraternities were no longer to be found. Instead, he believed that by and large confraternities no longer served the common good, and merely sponsored banquets and heavy drinking. Playing with the word Bruderschaft, Luther emphasized the aspect of "fellowship," claiming that all baptized members of the church had fellowship with Christ, the angels and saints in heaven, and all believers on earth; thus, the confraternity of the church was the only necessary fellowship that a true Christian needed. In his 1520 open letter An den christilichen Adel deutscher Nation, Luther wrote: "I am speaking also of brotherhoods in which indulgences, masses, and good works are apportioned. My dear friend, in your baptism you have entered into a brotherhood with Christ, with all the angels, with the saints, and with all Christians on earth. Hold fast to them and live up to their demands for you have enough brotherhoods. Let the others glitter as they will.

Roman Trier was reinvented at exactly the time when Karl Marx was growing up within its walls. Marx spent his childhood and adolescence in a house so near the Porta Nigra – one of the most famous Roman landmarks in Europe, then a museum housing Roman antiquities – that he could almost touch it from the window.

  • Götz Von Berlichingen
    GÖTZ VON BERLICHINGEN: SOLDIER, ENTREPRENEUR, RACONTEUR by Bradley M. Fansher A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Thesis Committee: Dr. Suzanne Sutherland, Chair Dr. Molly Taylor-Poleskey Middle Tennessee State University August 2020 ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of the life and times of Götz von Berlichingen (1480-1562), a German nobleman known for his iron fist and his legendary feuds. It argues that three identities defined Götz: a soldier, an entrepreneur, and a raconteur. The different layers of Götz’s identity emerged in response to the challenges in his life that sprang from the changes of the sixteenth century. These changes included the growth of the state, the decline of the nobility, the divisiveness of the Reformation, and the advent of a world view based on measurement. Despite some costly missteps, Götz responded well to new circumstances, so that by the end of his life he was more prosperous than many of his noble peers. Through a close reading of Götz’s autobiography, a social network analysis, and a comparative spatial study, the thesis elucidates the means of and the mentality behind Götz’s success. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION............................................................................................................. 1 Historiography ................................................................................................................. 5 Sources, Methods, Structure ........................................................................................

  • Franz Von Sickingen (1481–1523) Fehde Als Geschäftsmodell
    Reinhard Scholzen Franz von Sickingen (1481–1523) Fehde als Geschäftsmodell inige Aspekte des Lebens Franz von Sickingens möchte ich Ihnen vor- stellen, das ewig aktuelle Thema »Sickingen und die Reformation« da- bei aber völlig außer Acht lassen. Im Mittelpunkt soll stattdessen die EFrage stehen, wie ein an der Wende vom Spätmittelalter zur Frühen Neuzeit lebender Niederadeliger aus der Pfalz in einem krisenhaften Umfeld durch das Führen von Fehden nicht nur ein beachtliches Vermögen, sondern auch eine große politische Bedeutung erlangte. Als Franz von Sickingen am 1. März 1481 auf der Ebernburg, unweit von Bad Kreuznach, geboren wurde, war die Blütezeit der Ritter vorüber. Mehrere gesellschaftliche Wandlungen, die zum Teil miteinander verflochten waren, hatten dazu geführt, dass die im Hochmittelalter noch unverzicht- bare Kriegerkaste mehr und mehr an Bedeutung verloren hatte. Die Macht der Kaiser hatte seit dem 13. Jahrhundert abgenommen und der Stellenwert der Territorialfürsten war gestiegen. Der Kampf der Großen des Reiches um die Macht ging bald zu Lasten der Niederadeligen. Deutlich zeigte sich dies zum Beispiel an der Expansionspolitik Balduins von Luxemburg, der strate- gisch auf eine ausgefeilte Lehnspolitik setzte. Die Bindungen an den Trierer Kurfürsten wurden bald so eng, dass sie die Bewegungsmöglichkeiten vieler Ritter deutlich einschränkten. Die wirtschaftliche und – eng damit verbunden – politische Blütezeit der Städte, die nahezu zeitgleich einsetzte, bedrängte den niederen Adel ebenso. Viele Städte entwickelten im 14. Jahrhundert eine magnetische Wirkung auf ihr Umland, wofür es zahlreiche Ursachen gab. Einerseits machte Stadtluft frei, andererseits erschien vielen Bauern das Leben in einer spätmittelal- terlichen Stadt schlichtweg einfacher als das Leben auf dem Lande. Ohne Zweifel profitierten in dieser Zeit große Kommunen wie Köln, Straßburg, Nürnberg und Augsburg vom Fernhandel.

  • Martin Bucer (1491-1551) ECUMENICAL PIONEER
    Martin Bucer (1491-1551) ECUMENICAL PIONEER BY jAMES ATKINSON 1. Bucer Research ARTIN BUCER has generally been regarded as a Reformer M standing midway between Wittenberg and Zurich with leanings towards the Swiss. He is largely known for his mediatorial offices at the Marburg Colloquy 1529 when he laboured to bring Luther and Zwingli to a common theology on the eucharist, but perhaps better known for his work in the English Reformation when, as Professor of Theology at Cambridge (1549-51). he advised Cranmer on the Second Prayer Book of Edward VI, the Articles of Religion, and on other theological problems arising from the Reformation. These two moments in his life are very well known and attested, in the first instance because the works of Luther and Zwingli have been collected and published, and in the second place because his dealings with England were published in 1577 as Scripta Anglicana. Nevertheless, it is not possible to form a proper judgment on Bucer on the basis of this evidence alone, for a great deal more has to be taken into account. He was a European figure in the centre of things at the time of the Reformation, who travelled all over Europe in conference with the Reformers, who wrote and did a very great deal in his own right, and who led the Strasbourg reformation for twenty-five years. The generally accepted view of him as a mediatorial Reformer of Swiss learning is true as far as it goes in that it was derived from a true but fractional knowledge of Bucer's writings.

Consequently, the monuments in question include not only buildings and institutions of considerable importance from a historical and artistic perspective, but also others whose relevance is appreciated only at a local level or by those from a particular religious tradition. The European Heritage Label initiative represents an opportunity to create a network of monuments which inherently belong together, even if they may be very different in type and quality. It is this which differentiates the initiative from the UNESCO World Heritage List, which is largely biased towards artistic and historic conservation criteria alone.

Raubritter, Beschützer der Gerechtigkeit, Vorkämpfer der Reformati- on. Wer oder was war Franz von Sickingen, der vom 8. bis 14. Sep- tember 1522 Trier belagerte? Ihm war im Landesmuseum Mainz die Sonderausstellung „Ritter! Tod! Teufel? – Franz von Sickingen und die Reformation“ (21. Mai - 25. Oktober 2015) gewidmet. Aus diesem An- lass veranschaulichte auch eine Präsentation im Rheinischen Landes- museum Trier sechs Tage aus der Geschichte des Mannes, der bis in die Gegenwart zum Helden stilisiert wurde. Ergänzt wurde sie durch zwei Führungen zu Exponaten aus der Zeit Sickingens sowie zu den Örtlichkeiten der Belagerung. Zu den Geschehnissen des Jahres 1522 stehen zwei Zeitzeugen zur Verfügung, die ausführliche Schilderungen hinterlassen haben: Der eine ist der Humanist und Lehrer an der Universität Trier – Bartholo- mäus Latomus aus Arlon. Er schrieb im Jahr 1523 eine Erzählung in 1 089 lateinischen Versen. Auf Deutsch lautet ihr Titel: „Der denkwür- dige Aufstand des Franz von Sickingen mit der Belagerung Triers und dem Tod desselben“. Der zweite ist der Trierer Ratsschreiber Johann Flade, dessen Aufzeichnungen die Überschrift tragen: „Wie Franz von Sickingen dem Stift [dem Erzbistum] Schaden zugefügt und die Stadt Trier belagert hat im September des Jahres 1522“.
