The scientific correspondence of the historian Karl Hegel (1813-1901). Complete and exclusive digial edition, introduction, annotations and register

历史学家卡尔·黑格尔（Karl Hegel，1813-1901）是哲学家格奥尔格·威廉·弗里德里希·黑格尔（Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel，1813 - 1901）的儿子，他首先活跃于罗斯托克，然后是埃尔兰根，他留下的大量信件为我们提供了一个全面的视角，让我们了解科学研究在世纪中期在大学之外发展的方式。一个主要的例子是成立于1858年的巴伐利亚科学与人文科学院历史委员会（Historische Kommission bei der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften）;在这种情况下，在民族主义运动和国家统一的背景下进行重大编辑项目的合作工作特别有趣（德国研究首次尝试跨学科方法）。一个具体的例子是《德国城市编年史》，从14世纪到16世纪世纪。因此，历史科学作为一门学科（编辑科学的历史批判方法）的形成的一个核心方面，在他的信件的完整和独家数字版中得到了体现。黑格尔的通信也提供了一个广泛的科学网络和通信结构的一瞥，远远超出了主题本身，这是不可或缺的成功实施这样一个巨大的项目。处理历史问题的机构及其机构的紧密网络，如德国历史纪念碑、历史委员会或纽伦堡的德国国家博物馆，变得清晰可辨。黑格尔给他的许多通信伙伴-也是家庭成员-的无数信件代表了一个整体的全景，可以被认为是19世纪学者生活和工作的杰出例子，这也可能对那些处理不同分支学科的人感兴趣。

The extensive correspondence left by historian Karl Hegel (1813-1901); son of philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel; first active in Rostock, then Erlangen) offers a sweeping insight into the way scientific studies developed outside of universities in the mid-19th century. A major example is represented by the Historische Kommission bei der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (Historical Commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities), founded in 1858; in this context, the collaborative work on major editorial projects against the background of nationalistic movements and the nations unification is of special interest (with German studies first attempting an interdisciplinary approach). A concrete example is posed by the Chronicles of German Cities, from the 14th to the 16th Century. Thus a central aspect of the formation of the historical sciences as a discipline (historico-critial method of the editorial sciences) is shed ligth on in the complete and exclusive digital edition of his letters. Hegels correspondence also offers a glimpse on the extensive scientific networks and communication structures, which transcended the subject itself by far, and which were indispensable to the succesful implementation of such a gigantic project. The tight-knit network of institutions dealing with historical siences and their organs such as the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, the Historische Kommission, or the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg becomes clearly recognizable. Hegels countless letters to his numerous correspondence partners - also family members - represent a whole panorama that might be considered an outstanding example of a scholars life and work in the 19th cntury which may also be of interest to those dealing with different subdisciplines.
