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.
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."
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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."
