In the sixth volume of the Germania Sacra on the Bishopric of Constance, Wilfried Schontag tells the story of the Premonstratensian monastery of Obermarchtal from its foundation in 1171 to its closure in 1803 and at the same time gives an introductory account of the history of the Swabian circary. In addition to the history of the monastery s ownership and administration, the work also examines the lives of the provosts, abbots and conventuals, the monastery s educational history and the history of the building and its artworks. A particular focus is placed on the 17th century, as this period may be regarded as the great century of the Marchtal abbots and conventuals."
Bernried, an abbey of Augustinian canons founded in the 12th century, was home to a chapter of Augustinian canons until its secularization in 1803. A foundation of Count Otto and his wife Adelheid of Valley, it was one of the chapters founded during the reform movement of the regular canons. During six centuries the abbey was a creative center for the region around Bernried at Lake Starnberg. Following the well-established pattern of Germania Sacra, Walburga Scherbaum gives a summary of the history, constitution, spiritual and religious life, ownership history and in particular the individuals who lived and worked in the abbey from its beginning to its dissolution.
This volume presents a further sacred community within the Archdiocese of Trier. We are dealing here with the small collegiate church at Kyllburg, near Trier, which was founded in the late 13th century. Apart from an account of the history of the church, its buildings and archive material, the volume provides a comprehensive prosopographic survey of the canons. A distinguishing feature of the foundation is its property, because the church derived most of its income from incorporated parishes. This volume includes numerous illustrations, some of them available to the wider public for the first time.
With this work, the Munster historian Wilhelm Kohl presents an additional volume about a oehisa diocese. After concentrating on the dioceses and the succession of bishops (GS Neue Folgen 37, 1a "4), in the current volume Kohl focuses on the city of Munstera (TM)s collegiate foundation a ~St. Mauritz vor der Stadta (TM). In doing so, Kohl competently addresses one of the main foci of the Germania Sacra, the collegiate foundation. The study presents the history of the foundation and its personnel from its creation to its dissolve during secularization.
Geseke was one of the early medieval Saxon-Westphalian communities of canonesses and should be seen in relation to the previously published books on communities of canonesses such as Gandersheim (GS NF 7), Freckenhorst (GS NF 10), Herzebrock (GS NF 21), Liesborn (GS NF 23), and Nottuln (GS NF 44). Ulrich LAer presents the history, constitution, spiritual life, property and prosopography of the community that began as an independent aristocratic foundation and was then incorporated into the Archdiocese of Cologne for over 600 years until its dissolution. Thus, it is possible to undertake comparative studies of the aforementioned foundations and their development. The volume also presents the first data on the region which has not yet beenfeatured in the Germania Sacra series.
The present volume continues the work carried out by Germania Sacra on the collegiate foundations. Stendal Abbey, founded at the end of the 12th century and dissolved in the middle of the 16th century, is also the first religious institution in the Diocese of Halberstadt to be processed as part of the Germania Sacra project. Thus, this continues the efforts to research other communities apart from the Diocese of Naumburg in the new German federal states. The author, an expert on the church history of the Markgrafschaft of Brandenburg and thus also of the Altmark, proceeds according to the well-established pattern to describe the history, constitution, spiritual life, property and prosopography of the foundation. Thus the volume continues research into collegiate foundations and opens up a new geographical area.
With this account of the Cistercian a ' later Benedictine a ' Convent of St Aegidian in Munster, the Germania Sacra series again returns to the Diocese of Munster. This time, the Seriesa (TM) established author Wilhelm Kohl turns his attention to a convent founded around 1200 in the episcopal city. This volume opens the 3rd instalment of the Germania Sacra series, which since January 2008 has been based at the Academy of Sciences and Humanities in GAttingen.
The Bishops of Wurzburg from 1617 to 1684 by Winfried Romberg is the latest volume in the Germania Sacra series on the bishops of Wurzburg, which was begun by Alfred Wendehorst. This volume continues with the biographies and the official work of the bishops of Wurzburg starting with Johann Gottfried von Aschhausen up to and including Konrad Wilhelm von Wernau. Thus, this continuation of the series on the bishops of Wurzburg is very much in line with the focus of the 3rd series of Germania Sacra, which is devoted to the cathedral chapters and dioceses of the Church of the Holy Roman Empire."
