Lotharingia and the Papacy. Interaction, Integration andTransformation between Central Directing and Regional Internal Dynamics (from the 11th to the beginning of the 13th century) [INTERLOR]

在罗马主教的领导下建立一个内部统一的拉丁教会，无疑是中世纪欧洲一体化历史上的一个关键问题。这一发展的一个主要特点是，通过罗马与各区域之间的互动，逐步建立了一个中央规范制定机构。到目前为止，对这一二元过程的逻辑的研究，涉及教皇使用的权力工具，主要集中在拉丁基督教世界的外围。然而，通过关注洛塔林基亚，一个核心地区的前洛林帝国，从决定性的冲动，教会改革据说已经发出了第一次的兴趣中心的研究项目。由于其位于神圣德意志帝国和法国之间，洛塔林加确实是一个接触和转移的区域，保留了自己独特的动态，其特点是不断变化的政治和文化影响。该项目的目的是研究从11世纪中叶到13世纪世纪初洛塔林尼亚和教皇之间的互动和相互影响。它将审查在此期间，通过加强与罗马的接触，在区域一级发起了哪些具体的变化，并反过来评估区域冲动对罗马当局统治下的拉丁教会的影响。该项目的独创性和力量不仅在于从“欧洲”的角度分析中世纪教皇教会的一体化进程，有意识地超越目前的国界，而且还在于将教皇的干预解释为对区域冲动或抵制的回应。因此，我们将提供一个比较分析的两个主教城市（列日和梅斯），重新评估建立的新秩序的12世纪，该地区的世俗精英接触的影响，以及接收和（再）使用的互动与教皇在其长期的影响。通过这种方式，可以更准确地描述在区域一级与教皇互动所导致的体制、权力和身份变化，特别是在目前对“格列高利改革”及其广泛社会影响有更广泛理解的背景下。亚琛和卢森堡两个地点在调查领域和文件状况方面的合作是必要的。通过与Regesta Pontificum Romanorum（一家总部位于埃尔朗根-纽伦堡和哥廷根的全球性研究企业）的密切合作，确保了与国际教皇历史研究的联系，特别是在基础研究、数字编辑和原始资料分析以及比较方法等领域。

The establishment of a Latin Church characterised by an internal uniformity under the leadership of the Roman bishop is certainly a crucial issue of the history of integration of medieval Europe. A key feature of this development is the gradual establishment of a central norm-setting authority resulting from interactions between Rome and the regions. So far, research devoted to the logic of this binary process, involving the instruments of power used by the papacy, has mainly concentrated on the peripheries of Latin Christendom. However, by focussing on Lotharingia, a core region of the former Carolingian Empire from which decisive impulses for church reform are said to have emanated is for the first time the centre of interest of a research project. Due to its location between the Holy German Empire and France, Lotharingia is indeed a zone of contact and transfers retaining a distinct dynamic of its own, characterised by changing political and cultural influences. The aim of the project is to study the interactions and mutual influences between Lotharingia and the papacy from the middle of the 11th to the beginning of the 13th century. It will examine which specific changes were initiated on a regional level during this period through intensifying contacts with Rome and, in turn, assess the impact of regional impulses on the Latin Church under the Roman authority. The originality and strength of the project lies not only in the analysis of the process of integration of the medieval papal Church in a "European" perspective consciously transcending current national boundaries, but also in interpreting papal interventions as responses to regional impulses or resistance. Therefore, we will provide a comparative analysis of two episcopal cities (Liège and Metz), reassess the establishment of the new orders of the 12th century, the effect of contacts with the papacy on the region’s secular elites, as well as the reception and (re-)use of interactions with the papacy in their long-term effect. In this way, the institutional, power and identity changes resulting from interaction with the papacy at a regional level can be described more accurately, especially against the background of the current broader understanding of the "Gregorian reform" with its wide-ranging social implications. The cooperation of the locations Aachen and Luxembourg is necessary with regard to the area of investigation and the state of the documentation. The connection to international research on the history of the Papacy, especially in the fields of fundamental research, of digital editing and analysis of the primary sources as well as of comparative approach is ensured by a close cooperation with the Regesta Pontificum Romanorum, a research enterprise with a global vocation, based at Erlangen-Nuremberg and Göttingen.
