Medieval Christian art in 19th century . Research and reception

该研究项目旨在澄清19世纪对中世纪教堂内部和家具的理解。在此期间，德国的中世纪教堂家具和基督教艺术被研究，解释和公开观察的方式比目前所欣赏的要广泛得多。从艺术史风格的角度来看，根据特定的主角，可以观察到不同的观点，这与特定的功能和历史背景化解释和分期模型有关。作为基督教考古学分支学科的教会考古学（kirchliche Kunstarchäologie）、作为区域历史先驱的爱国古代研究（Altertumskunde）和主要由基督教机构和社会支持的教会艺术研究（kirchliche Kunstpflege）是其中的参与者。在不同的重点中，历史兴趣与19世纪的存在有关，例如关于教堂内部设计，礼拜仪式实践和地区或国家身份的形成。通过专著、手册、期刊和公开的收藏品和博物馆，广泛普及了中世纪教堂家具和基督教艺术与19世纪历史文化的相关性。

The research project aims to clarify 19th century understanding of medieval church interior and furniture. During this time medieval church furniture and Christian art in Germany are researched, interpreted and publicly observed in a much broader way than yet appreciated. Depending on particular protagonists from an art historical-stylistic view differing perspectives can be observed, which are related to specific functional and historical contextualizing models of interpretation and periodization. Actors are kirchliche Kunstarchäologie (ecclesiastical archaeology) as a sub discipline of Christian archaeology, vaterländische Altertumskunde (patriotic antiquity studies) as forerunner of regional history and kirchliche Kunstpflege (ecclesiastical art care), which mainly is supported by Christian institutions and societies. In different emphasis historical interest is associated with efforts directed at the presence of 19th century, e.g. concerning the design of church interior, liturgical practice and formation of regional or national identity. A wide popularization is obtained by monographs, handbooks, periodicals and publicly accessible collections and museums, which illustrate the relevance of medieval church furniture and Christian art for 19th century historical culture.
