Bishops in the late medieval Holy Roman Empire were at the head of two administrations, the one for the secular domain (Hochstift) and the other for the spiritual domain (diocese). However, this well-known fact has not been researched in its effects on spiritual rule and administration and cannot be explained by simply transferring the findings determined for secular principalities to the episcopal and archiepiscopal principalities. Due to the great importance of the bishops and their rule in the constitutional structure and in the political and social context of the late medieval Empire, this research deficit is particularly serious.This is where the proposed project comes in. For the first time, the secular administration of various ecclesiastical principalities of the Roman-German Empire between approx. 1440 and 1520 is examined from a comparative perspective, and two hypotheses - the bishopric administrations as intersections and pacemakers - are placed at the center of the analysis.The project, which strives for the widest possible comparison and makes intensive use of the possibilities of digital humanities, will develop new perspectives compared to the older research, which at best dealt with the bishops' administrations, and lead to a reassessment of the rule in ecclesiastical principalities. By including extensive source material, basic research is carried out for the prosopographical recording of the administrative staff and enables a new view of the premodern leadership groups and functional elites, whose history has so far been written almost exclusively for the secular area. The comparison of several Hochstifte over more than a century will in turn reveal supra-regional similarities, but also the heterogeneity of conditions and historical change. In this way, profound statements about central lines of development and setting the course in an important European transformation phase can be realized. At the same time, the prerequisites for a comparison of "administrative practices" and "administrative cultures" in a European context are created for further research.

中世纪晚期神圣罗马帝国的主教是两个行政部门的首脑，一个负责世俗领域（Hochstift），另一个负责精神领域（diocese）。然而，这一众所周知的事实并没有对其对精神统治和行政的影响进行研究，也不能通过简单地将世俗公国的调查结果转移到主教和总主教公国来解释。由于主教及其统治在宪法结构和中世纪帝国晚期的政治和社会背景中的重要地位，这一研究赤字尤为严重。这就是拟议项目的由来。第一次，罗马-德意志帝国的各个教会公国的世俗管理在大约。1440年和1520年是从比较的角度来考察的，两个假设-主教行政作为交叉点和起搏器-被置于分析的中心。该项目力求进行尽可能广泛的比较，并充分利用数字人文学科的可能性，与旧的研究相比，它将开发新的视角，而旧的研究充其量只是处理主教的管理，并导致对教会公国规则的重新评估。通过包括广泛的原始材料，对行政人员的书面记录进行了基础研究，并使对前现代领导团体和职能精英的新观点成为可能，迄今为止，他们的历史几乎完全是为世俗领域编写的。一个多世纪以来对几个城市的比较将揭示出超区域的相似性，但也揭示了条件和历史变化的异质性。通过这种方式，可以实现关于发展中心路线的深刻陈述，并在欧洲重要的转型阶段确定方向。同时，也为进一步研究欧洲背景下的“行政实践”和“行政文化”的比较创造了先决条件。
