Michael Kardinal von Faulhaber (1869-1952) was archbishop of Munich, an eminent theologian, an articulate opinion leader of political Catholicism and a campaigner for church interests. His influence reached far beyond the borders of Germany and the Catholic Church. He travelled much and maintained important international contacts to leading personalities in the fields of the church, politics and culture. The many interlocutors he daily received came from all walks of life. Even though he was revered by many members of the church already during his lifetime, he also remains highly contentious both in research and in the general public today, mostly because of his contradictory behaviour during the “Third Reich”. Faulhaber was not only an important political actor, but also an attentive observer and analyst during a period full of upheaval. His notes were not originally destined for publication and therefore allow for an authentic look behind the scenes. They reveal emotions and motives which could hitherto hardly be depicted by means of the so far available sources. In this context Faulhaber, socialised in the Catholic milieu of the German Empire and a convinced monarchist, is often representative for broad currents in Catholicism. It is a stroke of luck that his diaries have been completely preserved for the years 1911 to 1952 and are available to research since April 2012. This corpus of sources is unique both quantitatively and qualitatively. The diary entries are generally short, but Faulhaber produced supplementary sheets for important topics and conversations, which stand out due to their attention to detail and a high level of reflection. Both the diaries and their supplements are to be catalogued comprehensively, edited in historical-critical fashion, commented on and published in an online database. To achieve this, the applicants, who represent an interdisciplinary approach, are amongst others cooperating with the Archive of the Archdiocese of Munich. Preliminary work is far advanced. The edition will be indicative for key questions of German and European history; the universal structure of the Catholic Church opens up the possibility of international comparisons. The project will enable new contributions on the relationship between religion and politics as well as the handling of totalitarian ideologies by the Catholic Church. The same is true for innovative research on theological and cultural history, for instance on personal networks, forms of piety, Catholic interpretations of war and gender roles or the relations with other religious communities. Faulhaber mostly wrote in “Gabelsberger” shorthand. Since this can only be deciphered by a handful of experts, extensive archival holdings are in danger of becoming illegible. By encompassing Gabelsberger courses, the project will provide an important contribution to the preservation of this cultural technique.

迈克尔·卡迪纳尔·冯·福尔哈伯（Michael Kardinal von Faulhaber，1869-1952 年）是慕尼黑大主教、杰出的神学家、政治天主教的清晰表达的意见领袖和教会利益的活动家。他的影响力远远超出了德国和天主教会的边界。他经常旅行，并与教会、政治和文化领域的领导人物保持着重要的国际联系。他每天收到的许多对话者来自各行各业。尽管他生前就受到许多教会成员的尊敬，但他在研究和当今公众中仍然备受争议，主要是因为他在“第三帝国”期间的矛盾行为。福尔哈伯不仅是一位重要的政治演员，而且还是一个充满动乱时期的细心观察者和分析家。他的笔记最初并不打算出版，因此可以让人们真实地了解幕后的情况。它们所揭示的情感和动机迄今为止很难通过现有的资料来描述。在这种背景下，福尔哈伯在德意志帝国的天主教环境中社会化，并且是一位坚定的君主主义者，他往往是天主教广泛潮流的代表。幸运的是，他 1911 年至 1952 年的日记得以完整保存，并自 2012 年 4 月起可供研究。这个资料库在数量和质量上都是独一无二的。日记条目通常很短，但福尔哈伯为重要主题和对话制作了补充表，这些补充表因其对细节的关注和高水平的反思而脱颖而出。日记及其补充品都将被全面编目，以历史批判的方式进行编辑，评论并在在线数据库中发布。为了实现这一目标，代表跨学科方法的申请人与慕尼黑大主教区档案馆合作。前期工作已经取得很大进展。该版本将反映德国和欧洲历史的关键问题；天主教会的普遍结构开启了国际比较的可能性。该项目将为宗教与政治之间的关系以及天主教会处理极权主义意识形态做出新的贡献。对于神学和文化历史的创新研究也是如此，例如个人网络、虔诚形式、天主教对战争和性别角色的解释或与其他宗教团体的关系。福尔哈伯主要用“Gabelsberger”速记法写作。由于这些信息只能由少数专家破译，因此大量的档案馆藏有变得难以辨认的危险。通过涵盖 Gabelsberger 课程，该项目将为保护这种文化技术做出重要贡献。
