The Hansa as Community of Shared Memory. First Publication of Hermann Korner's Middle Low German World Chronicle

赫尔曼·科纳的《中低德国世界编年史》是一部独立的史学著作，是重要的文本见证，也是研究中世纪晚期帝国和汉萨历史的宝贵书面资料。由于大约1900年的特定背景，这部非凡的编年史没有历史关键的版本。只有15%的文本在许多不同的地方出版。一个具有历史批判性的版本是非常需要的，因为它的缺席总是被注意到，特别是因为新的问题一再将学者们的注意力引向这篇文章。首次出版将促进目前对汉萨精华的研究，并为未来的研究奠定坚实的基础。

Hermann Korner's Middle Low German World Chronicle is an independent piece of historiography, an important textual witness, and a valuable written source on the history of the Reich and the Hansa in the late medieval period. Due to specific settings about 1900 there is no historico-critical edition of this extraordinary chronicle. Only 15 percent of the text has been published in many different places. A historico-critical edition is badly needed, since it's absence has always been noticed and especially since new questions have directed the attention of scholars to this text repeatedly. The first publication will stimulate current research on Hanseatic eltites and lay a solid foundation for future investigation.
