In comparison to widowhood, research on princely widowers in the period from 1250 to 1550 has been a desideratum. In the first two and a half years of the DFG project approved in 2018 with a 0.65 TV-L 13 position for a research assistant in the category “PhD student and comparable” fundamental, innovative results were achieved through intensive research and could be contributed and communicated through numerous lectures and essays to the historical widower research. After the collection of a corpus of approx. 58 meaningful widowers with an unmarried state of at least ten years after the death of their wives and the data obtained using the European family tables, it was not only possible in a first step to make statistical evaluations of for example the average duration of widowhood, the age of the princes and the age difference of the spouses, but also to name the motives behind their long-term widowhoods. They spanned a multi-causal spectrum of i.a. political, economic, social, dynastic, personal, health and religious factors. Especially through an individualistic approach, based on till ex. wills, chronicles, documents and letters, personal aspects in the actions of the widower could be highlighted and named for the first time as important determinants for decision-making in the high nobility. In a concluding step, the research concept “room for maneuver” developed by the applicant was applied to the princes who remained long-term widowers. This involved balancing the possibilities and limits of widowers and their actions in between the five coordinates (1) space, (2) economy and finance, (3) dynasty and family, (4) constitutional position in the empire and (5) rank. With these cognitive goals, the project has so far followed the traditions of Peter Moraw, and Karl-Heinz Spiess, who presented fundamental research approaches to consider princely action and thus inspired numerous future projects. Due to the ongoing corona pandemic, the associated travel restrictions and in order to end the project appropriately, a six-month extension is required to make the last necessary archive trips to the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage in Berlin, the state archives of Hanover, Saxony-Anhalt, Meinigen and Weimar and the main state archive in Dresden, as these institutions could not provide digitized copies due to the size of the files. Furthermore, the extension is to be used to incorporate the results of the Kiel autumn conference on widowerhood, to finalize the half-finished manuscript and in this way to bring the analysis of the princely widowers, their motives and their room of maneuver to a successful and profitable end.

与鳏夫相比，对1250年至1550年期间王子鳏夫的研究一直是一个迫切需要的问题。在DFG项目的前两年半中，2018年批准了0.65 TV-L 13职位，用于“博士生和可比”类别的研究助理，通过深入研究取得了基本的创新成果，可以通过许多讲座和论文贡献和交流历史鳏夫研究。在收集了大约一个语料库。58名有意义的鳏夫，在妻子去世后至少有10年没有结婚，使用欧洲家庭表获得的数据，不仅可以在第一步中对寡妇的平均持续时间、王子的年龄和配偶的年龄差等进行统计评估，而且还可以说出他们长期守寡的动机。他们跨越了一个多原因的i.a.政治、经济、社会、王朝、个人、健康和宗教因素。特别是通过个人主义的方法，根据直到前。遗嘱、编年史、文件和信件以及鳏夫行为中的个人方面首次被强调和命名为高级贵族决策的重要决定因素。在最后一步，申请人提出的“回旋余地”研究概念适用于长期鳏夫的王子。这涉及在五个坐标之间平衡鳏夫及其行动的可能性和限制：（1）空间，（2）经济和财政，（3）王朝和家庭，（4）帝国中的宪法地位和（5）等级。有了这些认知目标，该项目迄今为止遵循了彼得·莫劳和卡尔-海因茨·斯皮斯的传统，他们提出了考虑王子行动的基础研究方法，从而激发了许多未来的项目。由于持续的电晕流行病，相关的旅行限制，为了适当地结束该项目，需要延长六个月，以进行最后一次必要的档案旅行，前往柏林的普鲁士文化遗产秘密国家档案馆，汉诺威，萨克森-安哈尔特，迈尼根和魏玛的国家档案馆以及德累斯顿的主要国家档案馆，因为这些机构由于档案太大而无法提供数字化副本。此外，这一扩展还将用于纳入基尔秋季鳏夫问题会议的成果，以完成半成品手稿，并以这种方式将对王子鳏夫、他们的动机和他们的回旋余地的分析带到一个成功和有益的结局。
