Lotharingia and the Papacy. Interaction, Integration andTransformation between Central Directing and Regional Internal Dynamics (from the 11th to the beginning of the 13th century) [INTERLOR]

在罗马主教的领导下，以内部统一为特征的拉丁教会的建立，无疑是中世纪欧洲一体化历史上的一个关键问题。这一发展的一个关键特征是，由于罗马与各地区之间的相互作用，逐渐建立了一个中央规范制定机构。到目前为止，研究这种二元过程的逻辑，包括教皇使用的权力工具，主要集中在拉丁基督教世界的边缘。然而，通过关注洛塔林吉亚，一个前加洛林帝国的核心地区，据说教会改革的决定性动力来自这里，这是第一次成为一个研究项目的兴趣中心。由于其位于神圣德意志帝国和法国之间，洛塔林吉亚确实是一个接触和转移的地区，保留了自己独特的动态，其特点是不断变化的政治和文化影响。该项目的目的是研究从11世纪中叶到13世纪初洛塔林吉亚与教皇之间的相互作用和相互影响。它将审查在这一时期通过加强与罗马的接触在区域一级发起了哪些具体的变化，并反过来评估区域冲动对罗马权威下的拉丁教会的影响。该项目的独创性和优势不仅在于以“欧洲”的视角分析中世纪教皇会的整合过程，有意识地超越当前的国界，而且还在于将教皇的干预解释为对地区冲动或抵抗的回应。因此，我们将对两个主教城市（利奥尔奇和梅茨）进行比较分析，重新评估12世纪新秩序的建立，与教皇的接触对该地区世俗精英的影响，以及与教皇互动的接受和（再）利用在其长期影响中。通过这种方式，可以更准确地描述在区域层面上与教皇互动所导致的制度、权力和身份变化，特别是在当前对“格里高利改革”及其广泛社会影响的更广泛理解的背景下。亚琛和卢森堡两地在调查领域和文件状况方面的合作是必要的。与教皇历史的国际研究的联系，特别是在基础研究领域，数字编辑和主要来源的分析以及比较方法，是通过与罗马教廷注册中心的密切合作来确保的，罗马教廷注册中心是一个具有全球使命的研究企业，位于埃尔兰根-纽伦堡和Göttingen。

The establishment of a Latin Church characterised by an internal uniformity under the leadership of the Roman bishop is certainly a crucial issue of the history of integration of medieval Europe. A key feature of this development is the gradual establishment of a central norm-setting authority resulting from interactions between Rome and the regions. So far, research devoted to the logic of this binary process, involving the instruments of power used by the papacy, has mainly concentrated on the peripheries of Latin Christendom. However, by focussing on Lotharingia, a core region of the former Carolingian Empire from which decisive impulses for church reform are said to have emanated is for the first time the centre of interest of a research project. Due to its location between the Holy German Empire and France, Lotharingia is indeed a zone of contact and transfers retaining a distinct dynamic of its own, characterised by changing political and cultural influences. The aim of the project is to study the interactions and mutual influences between Lotharingia and the papacy from the middle of the 11th to the beginning of the 13th century. It will examine which specific changes were initiated on a regional level during this period through intensifying contacts with Rome and, in turn, assess the impact of regional impulses on the Latin Church under the Roman authority. The originality and strength of the project lies not only in the analysis of the process of integration of the medieval papal Church in a "European" perspective consciously transcending current national boundaries, but also in interpreting papal interventions as responses to regional impulses or resistance. Therefore, we will provide a comparative analysis of two episcopal cities (Liège and Metz), reassess the establishment of the new orders of the 12th century, the effect of contacts with the papacy on the region’s secular elites, as well as the reception and (re-)use of interactions with the papacy in their long-term effect. In this way, the institutional, power and identity changes resulting from interaction with the papacy at a regional level can be described more accurately, especially against the background of the current broader understanding of the "Gregorian reform" with its wide-ranging social implications. The cooperation of the locations Aachen and Luxembourg is necessary with regard to the area of investigation and the state of the documentation. The connection to international research on the history of the Papacy, especially in the fields of fundamental research, of digital editing and analysis of the primary sources as well as of comparative approach is ensured by a close cooperation with the Regesta Pontificum Romanorum, a research enterprise with a global vocation, based at Erlangen-Nuremberg and Göttingen.
