German Hereditary Estate and European Rural Society

“德国世袭制与欧洲乡村社会”研究的发展与成果概述如下；(a)收集研究材料。我收集了新的出版物和经典著作，特别是“德国农村社会和易北河东部的农业历史”，如维尔纳·罗森纳的论文“Grundherrschaft”和威利·斯帕茨和阿道夫·汉内曼的柏林近代史。(b)我查阅了日本国会图书馆、柏林洪堡大学图书馆、柏林档案馆等的书籍和记录。(c) 1996年，我在洪堡大学和柏林自由大学联合主办的关于日本和德国比较研究的研讨会上读了一篇关于“日本的农业生产和农业生产”的论文。1997年，我在为庆祝欧洲社会经济历史上的世界著名学者之一、洪堡大学的lothar Baar博士教授65岁生日而举行的学术研讨会上发表了学术演讲。因此，我得出以下结论；首先，为了进一步研究这一课题，不仅要考察“世袭爵位”，而且要考察整个土地占有的必要性。第二，需要给所谓的“黑海-波罗的海区域”一个明确的地理定义。第三，土地问题与城市发展密切相关。因此，我们应该更加重视城乡关系是很重要的。从现在开始，我想阐明这三点，以便给柏林周围郊区村庄社区的全貌。

To overview of development and result of my study on _"German Hereditary Estate and European Rural Society" is as follows ;(a) Collecting materials for the research. I collected both new publications and classics, especially of _"German Rural Society and Agrarian History in East-Elbe", such as the thesis on _"Grundherrschaft" of Werner Roesener and the modern history of Berlin by Willy Spatz and Adolf Hannemann. (b) I consulted books and records at the Japanese Diet Library, the Library of Berlin-Humbolt University, the Berlin Archive, and so on. (c) In 1996, I read a paper on _"Agrarentwicklung und Agrargesellschaft in Japan seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg" at a symposium on a comparative study between Japan and Germany, which was organized under the joint auspices of Humboldt University and Berlin Free University. In 1997, I gave an academic address at the colloquium for the celebration of the 65th birthday of Prof. Dr.Lothar Baar (Humboldt University), who is one of the world-famous scholars in European socio-economic history.AS the result, I have come to the following concllusions ; Firstly, the necessity of looking at not only _"Hereditary Estate", but also (great) landholding as a whole for the further research of the subject. Secondly, the need to give the clear geographical definition to the so-called _"Black Sea-Baltic Sea Region". Thirdly, the agrarian problem has close relevance to the urban development. It is therefore important that we should pay much more attention to the relations between village and town. From now on, I would like to elucidate these three points, in order to give the full picture of suburban village-communities surrounding Berlin.
