The Political Culture Of The Mining Cities Of The Ore Mountains (1470-1648)

该项目探讨了矿山(ErzgeBirge)矿业城市在早期现代的政治文化。在此期间，该地区的特点是城市、农村贵族和矿业精英之间的复杂权力划分。有鉴于此，该项目首先假设，矿业城市的区别不仅影响到城市的社会、法律和经济层面，而且还影响到政治层面。对奥雷山脉三个矿业城市的不对称比较提供了背景。弗莱伯格将占据中心舞台，因为有大量的档案材料和二手文献。然而，为了实现更广泛的范围，约阿希姆萨尔和施尼伯格将与弗莱伯格形成对比。这项研究始于1470年，开始于第二次采矿热潮，一直持续到三十年战争结束。主要基于对未出版的档案材料的分析，三个主要主题将指导这项研究。首先，将审查通信网络和日常治理。第二，将评估在特定冲突领域与法律、经济、宗教和社会价值观和规范之间的相互作用。第三，前两个主题的结果将被纳入现有的社会秩序概念并归类。该项目将有助于并促进我们对政治文化和城市历史的了解，特别是城市原型的发展。

This project probes the political culture of the mining cities of the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) in the early modern era. During this period, the region was marked by a complex division of power (Herrschaft) between cities, rural nobles and mining elites. In view of this, this project begins with the hypothesis that the distinction of being a mining city impacted not only the social, legal and economic dimensions of a city, but also the political. An asymmetrical comparison of three mining cities in the Ore Mountains provides the setting. Freiberg will take centre stage as there exists a wealth of archival material and secondary literature on it. However, in order to achieve a broader scope, Joachimsthal and Schneeberg will be contrasted with Freiberg. The study begins in 1470 with the beginning of the second mining boom and continues to the end of the Thirty Years War. Based primarily on an analysis of unpublished archival material, three major themes will guide the study. First, communication networks and daily governance will be examined. Second, interactions with legal, economic, religious and social values and norms in specific conflict fields will be assessed. Third, the results from the first two themes will be incorporated and classified into existing concepts on social order. The project will contribute to and further our knowledge of political culture and urban history, specifically the development of municipal archetypes.
