The Political Culture Of The Mining Cities Of The Ore Mountains (1470-1648)

该项目探讨了现代早期矿石山（Erzgebirge）采矿城市的政治文化。 在这一时期，该地区的特点是城市、农村贵族和矿业精英之间复杂的权力划分（Herrschaft）。 有鉴于此，本项目首先假设，作为一个矿业城市的区别不仅影响了一个城市的社会，法律的和经济层面，而且还影响了政治。 一个不对称的比较三个采矿城市在矿石山提供了设置。 弗赖贝格将占据中心舞台，因为它存在着丰富的档案材料和二手文献。然而，为了实现更广泛的范围，约阿希姆斯塔尔和施内贝格将与弗赖贝格进行对比。 这项研究始于1470年第二次矿业繁荣的开始，一直持续到三十年战争结束。 主要基于对未发表的档案材料的分析，三大主题将指导这项研究。 首先，将审查通信网络和日常治理。 第二，将评估与具体冲突领域的法律的、经济、宗教和社会价值观和规范的相互作用。 第三，前两个主题的结果将被纳入并分类到现有的社会秩序概念中。 该项目将有助于并进一步加深我们对政治文化和城市历史的了解，特别是市政原型的发展。

This project probes the political culture of the mining cities of the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) in the early modern era. During this period, the region was marked by a complex division of power (Herrschaft) between cities, rural nobles and mining elites. In view of this, this project begins with the hypothesis that the distinction of being a mining city impacted not only the social, legal and economic dimensions of a city, but also the political. An asymmetrical comparison of three mining cities in the Ore Mountains provides the setting. Freiberg will take centre stage as there exists a wealth of archival material and secondary literature on it. However, in order to achieve a broader scope, Joachimsthal and Schneeberg will be contrasted with Freiberg. The study begins in 1470 with the beginning of the second mining boom and continues to the end of the Thirty Years War. Based primarily on an analysis of unpublished archival material, three major themes will guide the study. First, communication networks and daily governance will be examined. Second, interactions with legal, economic, religious and social values and norms in specific conflict fields will be assessed. Third, the results from the first two themes will be incorporated and classified into existing concepts on social order. The project will contribute to and further our knowledge of political culture and urban history, specifically the development of municipal archetypes.
