The role of noble dynasties in pre-modern history has long been viewed by scholars as significant. They were focused on both as a framework for passing on and safeguarding power, property and land, as well as agents in the process of state formation. Far less is known, however, about the internal negotiation processes of dynasties, and questions regarding how a dynasty formed and established itself in the first place. The project is based on the premise that processes of institutionalisation began in the late Middle Ages finding their expression in the formation of a distinct memory culture and certain norms and practices that rearranged the relations between the noble family members. Using the example of three comital houses (Holstein-Schaumburg, Lippe, and Waldeck), which are comparable with regard to their social, economic and political status, this project analyses the different strategies of dynasty building. Dynasties are understood in this context as social institutions in terms of strengthened social relations that were symbolically displayed by specific forms of internal representation such as historiography, memoria and art, as well as regulated by the implementation of house laws. Furthermore, the project analyses how the dynastic values and norms, which emerged, affected the individual family members practices. The underlying assumption is that the nobility succeeded in holding its social and political position in the dynamic early modern society by strengthening the dynastic order. At the same time the important role of conflicts, violations of norms, and the struggle for interpretative sovereignty in this formation process is stressed.

贵族王朝在前现代史上的作用一直被学者们认为是重要的。它们既是权力、财产和土地的传递和保障的框架，也是国家形成过程中的代理人。然而，关于朝代的内部谈判过程，以及关于一个朝代最初是如何形成和建立的问题，人们所知甚少。该项目基于这样一个前提，即制度化进程始于中世纪晚期，在一种独特的记忆文化和某些规范和实践的形成中得到表达，这些规范和实践重新安排了贵族家庭成员之间的关系。本项目以三个在社会、经济和政治地位上具有可比性的共用住宅（Holstein-Schaumburg， Lippe和Waldeck）为例，分析了王朝建筑的不同策略。在这种背景下，王朝被理解为一种社会制度，它加强了社会关系，通过特定的内部表现形式象征性地表现出来，如史学、记忆和艺术，并通过执行家法来调节。此外，该项目分析了出现的王朝价值观和规范如何影响个体家庭成员的实践。其基本假设是，贵族通过加强王朝秩序，成功地在充满活力的早期现代社会中保持其社会和政治地位。与此同时，强调冲突、违反规范和争取解释性主权的斗争在这一形成过程中的重要作用。
