Eastern Frankish and "German" Kingdoms in the 9th and 10th Century. Its Political Structure and Ethnogenesis.

9世纪和10世纪的东法兰克和“日耳曼”王国主要由四个民族组成，法兰克人（Franci）、撒克逊人（Saxones）、阿勒曼人（Alamanni）和巴伐利亚人（Baiuwarii），这些民族在历史资料中被称为氏族/氏族（pl.）。这些群体长期处于“日耳曼民族”之下，就像“德意志民族”之下的“Stamm/Stamme”一样。但现在，这一概念及其在19世纪首次建立的理论假设——民族优先于政治国家——必须纠正如下。结合温斯库斯关于罗马帝国晚期或中世纪早期欧洲的民族发生理论和维尔纳关于加洛林帝国的列格纳结构理论，有可能从新的视角来分析政治结构和民族发生：一部分新建立的、政治的、多民族的日耳曼群体（氏族）在民族迁移和占有国家的年代之后融入了加洛林帝国。这些已经从根本上改变了它在政府单位（regna）内的政治“Regentilisierung”过程中的特征，以致氏族可以作为历史上的次要生产而成为新的“德意志民族”的结构要素

Eastern Frankish and "German" Kingdoms in the 9th and 10th century consisted of mainly four peoples, Franks (Franci), Saxons (Saxones), Alemanns (Alamanni) and Bavarians (Baiuwarii), these are called in the historical sources as gens/gentes (pl.). These groups are long time situated as the underunit of the "German Peoples", as "Stamm/Stamme" under the "deutsches Volk". But now, this conception and its theoretical assumption-priority of the ethnic peoples (Volk) to a political state-, which was at first time constucted in the 19th century, must be corrected as follows. It becomes possibles, new perspectives of the political structure and ethnogenesis to analyze, in conbination of Wenskus' ethnogenesis-theorie, which related the late Roman empire period or early medieval Europe, with Werner's Regna-structure-theorie for the Carolingian empire : A part of the newly established, political and polyethnic Germanic groups (gentes) are integrated to the Carolingian empire after ages of the migration of peoples and possesion of the country. These had changed its character in the process of political "Regentilisierung" within the governmental unit (regna) so foudamentally, that gentes could become a structual elements of a new "German Peoples" as a historically secondary production
