The Hansa as Community of Shared Memory. First Publication of Hermann Korner's Middle Low German World Chronicle

赫尔曼·科尔纳的《中低地德意志世界编年史》是一部独立的史学著作，是重要的文本见证，也是中世纪晚期赖希和汉萨历史的宝贵书面资料。由于1900年左右的特定背景，这部非凡的编年史没有历史批判版。只有15%的文本在许多不同的地方出版。一个历史批判的版本是迫切需要的，因为它的缺席一直被注意到，特别是因为新的问题已经多次将学者的注意力集中在这个文本上。第一次出版将刺激目前的研究汉萨精英，并奠定了坚实的基础，为未来的调查。

Hermann Korner's Middle Low German World Chronicle is an independent piece of historiography, an important textual witness, and a valuable written source on the history of the Reich and the Hansa in the late medieval period. Due to specific settings about 1900 there is no historico-critical edition of this extraordinary chronicle. Only 15 percent of the text has been published in many different places. A historico-critical edition is badly needed, since it's absence has always been noticed and especially since new questions have directed the attention of scholars to this text repeatedly. The first publication will stimulate current research on Hanseatic eltites and lay a solid foundation for future investigation.
