This project examines medieval sculptures and paintings that were venerated in the early modern period in the archdiocese of Cologne as miraculous images or conferred a special role within the sacral landscape of that age. The reframing, the context and the various actors supporting the veneration of these images will be analysed, as well as their role in the construction of a regional identity during a period of economic and political stagnation. Until now, the Baroque mise-en-scène of medieval statues in the Rhine region has not been studied. It’s significance, however, extends far beyond the boundaries of the archdiocese for understanding how older objects were engaged with, as the visual presence of the Middle Ages was stronger in the archdiocese of Cologne in the early modern period than in almost any other Western European region. Medieval statues were presented in the key churches of the metropolis (Cathedral, Jesuit Church, Saint Ursula) in combination with relics, often with a comparable status. The reframing of statues, moreover, had been a well-known phenomenon in the Rhine region since as early as the late medieval era. Around 1500, moreover, Cologne established itself as the hub of a network of local pilgrimages to images – something hardly noticed in the research up to now. Linked to this are the numerous smaller pilgrimages to medieval statues during the Catholic Reformation. This was promoted by the Wittelsbach electors of Cologne as well as by their relatives, the Dukes of Palatinate-Neuburg, resulting in the royal residence cities of Bonn, Brühl and Düsseldorf being refurbished into model sacral landscapes. Monasteries and collegiate churches, older as well as newer ones, participated intensively in the staging of older statues. Lay persons gathered together in brotherhoods, particularly in Cologne, took charge of the organisation of the pilgrimages to such images. The collaboration of these agents, their motivation and perspectives on the older objects will be examined, just like the question of what dynamics could evolve out of a personal connection with the miraculous images. Better than the major pilgrimages to the holy tombs controlled by ecclesiastical institutions, these smaller pilgrimages to venerated images – studied for the first time in regards to Cologne – were ideal for establishing an identity for a complex society. These miraculous images have often received scant attention, as they have long been considered “disfigured” by later applications of polychromy, and thus stand all the more at the centre of this project. For this reason, the technological examination of these works and their early modern modifications will receive particular attention. Above all, the sacral landscape of the early modern archdiocese of Cologne will be reconstructed, a landscape disformed by massive changes during the 19th and 20th centuries, yet marked by the material presence of a great past.

该项目考试以现代早期在科隆大主教管区作为奇迹的图像或在那个时代的萨克拉景观中发挥特殊作用的中世纪雕塑和绘画。将分析支持这些图像发作的企业的重塑，背景和各种参与者，以及在经济和政治停滞期间，它们在建设区域身份中的作用。到目前为止，莱茵河地区中世纪雕像的巴洛克式Mise-en-Scène尚未研究。然而，它的意义远远超出了大主教管区的边界，以了解较旧的物体的互动方式，因为在现代早期，在科隆大主教管区的中世纪的视觉存在比几乎任何其他西欧地区都更强。中世纪的雕像是在大都市（大教堂，耶稣会教堂，圣乌苏拉）的主要教堂中呈现的，通常具有可比的地位。此外，自从中世纪晚期以来，对雕像的重塑就一直是莱茵河地区的一个众所周知的现象。此外，大约1500年，科隆将自己确立为当地朝圣网络的枢纽，直到现在，研究中几乎没有注意到这一点。与此相关的是与天主教改革期间中世纪雕像的众多较小的朝圣。这是由科隆的维特尔斯巴赫选举人及其亲戚，帕拉廷·尼布尔格公爵（Dukes of Palatinate-Neuburg）促进的，导致了波恩，布鲁尔和杜塞尔多夫的皇家居住城市被翻新成s骨景观。修道院和大学教堂，较老的教堂以及更新的教堂，参与了旧雕像的舞台。外行人聚集在兄弟会，特别是在科隆的兄弟情谊中，负责组织朝圣的组织。这些代理商的合作，他们对旧物体的动机和观点的合作将被检查，就像动态可以从与奇迹般的图像中发展出来的问题一样。这些比受教会机构控制的圣墓的主要朝圣更好，这些较小的朝圣朝圣图像（第一次研究科隆）是为复杂社会建立身份的理想选择。这些奇迹般的图像通常受到很少的关注，因为这些图像长期以来被以后的多染色体被视为“毁容”，因此更加站在该项目的中心。因此，这些作品的技术检查及其早期的现代修改将受到特别关注。最重要的是，将重建古龙水的早期现代大主教管区的骨景观，这是19世纪和20世纪的大规模变化造成的景观，但以伟大过去的物质存在为标志。
