Rudolph Schieffer in 2017

Rudolf Schieffer ( born January 31, 1947 in Mainz ; † September 14, 2018 in Bonn ) was a German historian specializing in the early and high Middle Ages . He was internationally one of the most important and influential researchers of the European Middle Ages.

Schieffer taught as a professor for medieval and modern history at the University of Bonn (1980-1994). From 1994 to 2012 he was President of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (MGH), the most important institute dedicated to the study of the Middle Ages and the edition of medieval sources. During his presidency, he was also a professor of history at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich . Major editorial progress was made in all departments of the MGH under Schieffer's presidency. Schieffer earned lasting merit for the MGH as an editor through many years of work on the letters and writings of Hinkmar von Reims. His favorite areas of research included the Carolingian period and the Investiture Controversy .

Life

origin and early years

Rudolf Schieffer was the eldest child of a scholarly family. His two sisters were born in 1948 and 1951. His grandfather Heinrich Schieffer (1878–1949) was a primary school rector and city school inspector in Godesberg . His father was the historian Theodor Schieffer , who married Anneliese Schreibmayr (1915–1981) in Berlin in 1942. Theodor Schieffer taught as a professor of medieval and modern history as well as historical auxiliary sciences from 1951, first in Mainz and then from 1954 to 1975 in Cologne . The family therefore moved from Mainz to Bad Godesberg. He grew up in a distinctly Catholic home. From 1953 to 1966 he attended schools in Mainz and Bad Godesberg. He passed his Abitur in 1966 at the Aloisius College of the Jesuits in Bad Godesberg.

From the 1966 summer semester to the 1971 summer semester, Schieffer studied history and Latin at the University of Bonn and for a semester in Marburg , where he was particularly enthusiastic about Walter Schlesinger for the Middle Ages. His academic teachers also included Helmut Beumann , Eugen Ewig , Paul Egon Hübinger , Dieter Schaller , Stephan Skalweit and Johannes Straub . He had met many of them as children when he was his father's colleague. This also made it easier for him to start his academic career. Theodor Schieffer edited several volumes of documents by the Carolingian rulers for the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, initially under Paul Fridolin Kehr and later himself . Young Schieffer helped his father collate the manuscripts .

academic career

He passed the first state examination in Bonn in 1971 for the higher teaching post. Already in the year of the state examination he published four essays. For a time he was unsure whether to study ancient or medieval history. According to his own statement, he became a medievalist , “not so much because, but rather because my father was one too”. Schieffer opted for medieval history because the church history he favored was most widely applied there. From 1971 to 1975 he was a research assistant in the German Research Foundation 's "Late Antiquity Imperial Councils" project with Johannes Straub in Bonn. As a doctoral student, he compiled an index volume on the acts of the ecumenical councils from 431 to 553. He received his doctorate in 1975 from Eugen Ewig on the formation of cathedral chapters in Germany . After completing his doctorate, he had the opportunity to choose between an assistant position with Eduard Hlawitschka at the University of Düsseldorf , a position at the German Historical Institute in Rome , or a position at the Monumenta Germaniae Historica. Schieffer accepted Horst Fuhrmann 's offer and went to Munich. From 1975 to 1980 he was a research associate at the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (MGH). From 1976 to 1979 Schieffer was a lecturer in historical auxiliary sciences at the University of Regensburg . In 1979 he habilitated there with a thesis on the origin of the papal ban on investiture for the German king .

In 1980, at the age of 33, he succeeded his academic teacher Eugen Ewig as Professor of Medieval and Modern History at the University of Bonn. Schieffer held three-hour lectures (one hour on Thursdays and two hours on Fridays). Schieffer always chose the topic of his main seminar from the epoch that he dealt with in the lecture in the previous semester. The main seminar was always held on Friday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. Schieffer never had an assistant, but always divided the position between two doctoral students who received a three-year contract.

For the President of MGH Horst Fuhrmann , who turned 65 in 1991, Schieffer was the desired successor. At the 102nd plenary session of the central management on 10./11. March 1992 Schieffer elected President of the MGH. However, he became seriously ill and had to undergo lengthy treatments. It was not until April 1, 1994 that Schieffer went to the University of Munich and took over the management of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica as Fuhrmann's successor. At the same time he was a professor of history in Munich (with limited teaching and examination obligations). In negotiations with the Bavarian state government, Schieffer succeeded in having the chair associated with the presidency transferred from Regensburg to Munich and given an assistant position. As President of the MGH, Schieffer had achieved the position that his father had been denied. Theodor Schieffer had to let Herbert Grundmann go first in the 1957 presidential election . In 1994, together with his son, the first Catholic became president of the institution, which had been shaped by Protestantism from its inception. In his early days, he took around two years to get to know all the projects carried out or supported at the institute in detail. As President, Schieffer continued to review for the German Archives for Research into the Middle Ages published by the MGH . Together with Johannes Fried , he was her long-time editor from 1994 until the publication of issue 68/2 (2012). He had already written 444 reviews for the years 31 to 36 (1975–1980) for this respected medieval journal. By the time he died, there were 3785 reviews. A further 272 reviews were added for other trade journals. The review activity also served to develop a comprehensive research horizon on medieval history. During Schieffer's tenure - also thanks to the preparatory work of his predecessors and the improvement in the job situation - major editorial progress was made, including the edition of the documents of Frederick II , which Walter Koch has been running since 2002, or Hans Eberhard Mayer's four-volume edition of the documents of the Latin kings of Jerusalem.

Among his greatest achievements as MGH President, Claudia Zey counts the public image that was achieved through intensive lectures and contributions, his commitment to science and his editorship of the German Archives. He held the office of President of the MGH until 2012. As President, Schieffer relied on proven methods and paths. He was skeptical about innovations. He did not share the pronounced understanding of his predecessor Horst Fuhrmann for IT issues and did not turn to electronic editing. Nevertheless, great progress was made in digital history under Schieffer. In cooperation with the Bavarian State Library , the edition that has been compiled over two centuries has been made digitally accessible for international research.

At the end of his presidency, the MGH fell into a severe crisis for several years due to structural discussions, changes to the statutes, debates about a suitable successor arrangement and negotiations with the Free State of Bavaria as a donor. In his last annual report in 2011/12 as President, he spoke of the successor, which had not yet been finally clarified at the time, as "a phase of transition and uncertainty". With regard to the financial situation, he feared dangers for the "conceptual further development of the institute and [...] its performance". Schieffer resolutely opposed the ministry's plans to unite the MGH under one roof with the Historisches Kolleg , the Historical Commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and the working group of non-university historical research institutions in the Federal Republic . He wanted to preserve the MGH tradition as it had developed after 1875. Because of the ministry's plans, he feared that the individual institutions would lose their independence and saw the danger of being at the mercy of completely unrelated bodies. The cooperation agreement concluded with the LMU to fill the presidency also did not correspond to Schieffer's ideas about the autonomy of the MGH. For Schieffer, the presidency of the MGH was the "Olympus of medieval studies". He could not understand why younger scholars, whom he considered capable of succeeding him as President, refused to do so.

As an academic teacher, Schieffer supervised 29 dissertations, 23 of them from 1980 to 1994. In the 18 years in Munich, only six more dissertations were added due to his limited teaching commitments. His academic students included Bernd Schütte , Claudia Zey , Caspar Ehlers , Martina Giese , Jochen Johrendt , Martina Hartmann and Alheydis Plassmann , among others . Among the 29 doctoral theses are eleven editions, all of which have appeared in the MGH edition series.

The grave of Rudolf Schieffer in the Rieck family grave in the Bad Godesberg castle cemetery in Bonn

Schieffer, who was single, lived in Bonn again after his retirement and continued the scientific work on the Hinkmar letters from the years 868 to 872. Shortly before his death he lived to see the second part being printed. In September 2018, he died in his apartment at the age of 71 after a short, serious illness. He was buried in the family grave in the Burgfriedhof in Bad Godesberg. A memorial service for Schieffer was held in Munich in March 2019. A commemorative booklet published by the Monumenta Germaniae Historica was published in the same year.

Research Focus

Schieffer's list of publications includes around 390 titles. His scientific work focused on political history as well as church and legal history from late antiquity to the 12th century, source studies and text editions. However, some of his works also deal with the history of medieval studies of the 19th and 20th centuries and their leading figures such as Wilhelm Levison , Gerold Meyer von Knonau , Wilhelm von Giesebrecht , Arno Borst and Paul Fridolin Kehr . He also commented on the Nazi entanglements of medieval studies. He often participated in commemorative publications. Out of 180 contributions in anthologies, 45 essays have been published in commemorative publications. He himself strictly rejected a commemorative publication for his 60th, 65th or 70th birthday, following the maxim of his father Theodor Schieffer. For him, an important criterion for scientific achievement was the relationship between time expenditure and yield, not only when assessing his own work, but also in his further career as an academic teacher and reviewer. He habilitated after only three years with a thesis of around 250 pages, which is slim by today's standards. In the foreword he noted the conclusion with an exact date.

His early work dealt with themes of late antiquity and ancient church history. Even before the publication of his dissertation, numerous articles appeared in respected journals dealing with the ecumenical councils within the framework of the DFG research project, but also with the high medieval reform papacy and the Investiture Controversy. In his dissertation, published in 1976, he worked out the origin of the cathedral chapter from the establishment of the dioceses in the early Middle Ages to the formation of canon communities in the 11th century. The work became a standard work.

His two favorite subjects were the Carolingians and the eleventh century as an age of church reform and the Investiture Controversy. His work is distinguished in its approach by a micro -historical analysis of relatively limited periods of time, a conceptual-historical and source-related perspective or a chronologically systematized longitudinal section over a longer period of time. In comparison to the religious and political development processes in Europe, economic and socio-historical questions were hardly dealt with. In his later works he also dealt with the "historical dimension of the European unification debate". His efforts to summarize in a small space, rich in content, are reflected not only in his review activities, but also in his historical syntheses of the Carolingians and the Salians, as well as his active participation in important encyclopedias. He wrote 60 articles for the Lexicon of the Middle Ages , 32 for the third edition of the Lexicon for Theology and Church , 15 for the Author 's Lexicon and 22 for the Neue Deutsche Biographie .

Schieffer was not only in demand as a speaker in scientific circles, but also frequently gave lectures in non-university contexts. It was important to him to convey scientific knowledge beyond the narrow specialist audience. He repeatedly supported museums as a guide and wrote articles on medieval topics as an author for the catalogs of major exhibitions. He often spoke at evening or opening lectures at conferences or exhibitions.

Works for and about the Monumenta Germaniae Historica

Schieffer's life and work were closely linked to the Monumenta Germaniae Historica. Horst Fuhrmann brought him to Munich in 1975 and commissioned him to publish the letters of Archbishop Hinkmar von Reims from the 9th century.

In 1996 he organized a colloquium of the central management of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica in Munich on "Medieval Texts. Tradition – Findings – Interpretations”. In 1998 he took over the organization of a colloquium of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica and the Historical Commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in Munich on "Source editions and no end?" It was one of the first colloquiums that tried to counteract the dwindling importance of editing.

Schieffer has published numerous articles on the history of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica. He covered the beginnings and their first encounters with France. He found that the first efforts to look for sources in Paris were characterized by anti-French resentment. This only changed after Freiherr vom Stein 's death in the 1830s. There was "a certain alignment of research styles and work goals on both sides of the Rhine". In another contribution, he provided an overview of the edition projects and research work on early and high medieval canon law since the reorganization of the MGH series in 1875. He also dealt with the Bavarian assessment of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica at the time the Historical Commission was founded , the monastic scholars in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica or with the memorial sources .

Carolingian

The continuation of the edition of the letters of Archbishop Hinkmars of Reims also marks the beginning of dealing with the Carolingian period . His research made him a specialist in it. He organized the colloquium of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences on 17/18. February 1994 in Bonn on the written culture and imperial administration under the Carolingians. He published the papers two years later. One wanted to "understand the ruler's deeds as an expression of a comprehensive written culture [...] that experienced its first post-antique climax under the Carolingians".

He presented syntheses for this epoch, such as his work Die Karolinger , first published in 1992, which is considered the standard work on the history of the Carolingian period and was published five times until 2014 without changing its basic structure. With this monograph he continued the tradition of his Bonn teacher Eugen Ewig, who had devoted his research to the Merovingians. In 2005 he published the volume on the Carolingians in the latest edition of the classic textbook on German history, Gebhardt . The 9th century, which has an enormous wealth of sources, was treated on just 160 pages. Schieffer concentrated on the political, ecclesiastical and legal historical aspects.

In another contribution he analyzed the synods held north of the Alps in Frankish and Carolingian times. In the contacts between the papacy and the synods in the north of the Alps, Schieffer stated "that the papacy asserted itself both as a supervisory authority and as an impetus for Franconian synods". He was concerned with the inefficiency of the Carolingian wills. At the meeting of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences on February 18, 2009, he devoted himself to "the traces of the emergence and further development of compiled works in the course of the Carolingian renewal, which can be found in manuscripts".

imperial church

Through Schieffer's work, the relationship between the Ottonian kingdom and the imperial church has been well researched. At the 1988 German Historian Day in Bamberg , Hagen Keller headed the section “Group Bonds, Organization of Rulers and Written Culture under the Ottonians”. Schieffer gave a lecture on the topic "The Ottonian imperial episcopate between royalty and nobility". The lectures held in Bamberg were published in 1989 in the Early Medieval Studies and are considered an important starting point for a reassessment of Ottonian kingship. In the essay he qualified the use of the term Reichskirchensystem. Instead, he advocated a chronological and gradual differentiation, warning against adopting a fundamental conceptual decision of Otto I and referring to Carolingian continuities. In 1998 he presented a comparative study of Carolingian and Ottonian church politics. At the 368th session of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences on October 20, 1993 in Düsseldorf, he devoted himself to the so-called Ottonian-Salian imperial church system . He worked out the differences between contemporary perception and today's point of view. He came to the conclusion that this system was not that systematic. None of the medieval sources represent an imperial church system. Rather, all textbooks and handbooks on the subject of the imperial church are based "on a mosaic of testimonies on individual events and aspects". In the Academy lecture, Schieffer also worked out the very different developments in England, France and Burgundy in the relationship between king and church in a European comparison. This resulted in new insights into the East Franconian-German peculiarities. Almost at the same time as the academy lecture, he published an article on the surveys of bishops in the western Franconian-French area in the late 9th and 10th centuries.

Reform papacy and the Investiture Controversy

Schieffer's habilitation thesis from 1981 led to a fundamentally new assessment of the investiture controversy . After his investigations into investiture practice, he argued that the royal investiture of bishops in the conflict between Henry IV and Gregory VII in 1076 was not yet forbidden. Only after Henry IV went to Canossa in January 1077 did this practice become a problem. The ban on clerics accepting investitures from lay people dates from the Roman Autumn Synod of 1078. At the Lenten Synod of 1080, lay people were then forbidden to make investitures. According to Schieffer's results, the Investiture Controversy was the result of the disputes between king and pope, not their cause. Previous research had assumed that the investiture controversy and the ban on investiture were linked in terms of time and substance and had assumed that Gregory VII had already issued a general ban on investiture at the Lenten Synod of 1075, thereby withdrawing Henry IV’s right to investiture. According to Schieffer, however, the measures of this Lenten Synod were merely a papal sanction in the event that Heinrich did not give up contact with his banned advisers. His interpretation of the cause and course of the conflict has found wide acceptance in research. Only Johannes Laudage continued to plead for a papal ban on investiture from 1075, and Uta-Renate Blumenthal saw the measures as only a temporary ban on investiture. In continuing the discussion on the investiture question, Schieffer has dealt in several essays with the problem of simony from late antiquity to the church reforms. After Schieffer's habilitation thesis, there was increasing talk of the "so-called investiture dispute". Alternative designations for this epoch such as Gregorian reform or church reform could not prevail, so that the term Investiture Controversy is used again in current research.

Using primarily historiographical sources, Schieffer devoted himself to the history of the reception of the Investiture Controversy since the Worms Concordat of 1122. In England, the events were interpreted more towards the end of the conflict, and in France, they were primarily registered in the events of 1111, 1119 and 1122. In England and France, the memory of the dispute and its course quickly faded. New disputes determined the representation of the historiographers. In Italy, the response was extremely poor and concentrated mainly on the First Lateran Council of 1123. In the chronicles of urban northern Italy, Schieffer could not find any reference to the settled investiture problem. In another essay, he dealt with the question of what the historiographical sources north and south of the Alps made of three events in 1076/77: the sanctions pronounced by Henry IV in Worms on January 24, 1076 against Pope Gregory VII, which then followed Excommunication of the king in Rome by the pope and the temporary resolution of the conflict at the end of January 1077 in Canossa. These events are well documented by imperial and papal testimonies. In his investigation, Schieffer identified significant regional differences and deformations. The exile of Henry IV remained the most memorable event as a rather isolated event, while Henry's penance at Canossa remained limited in scope even within the empire.

Schieffer introduced the concept of the "papal historical turning point" into the scientific discussion. With this term the time of the reform papacy between Pope Leo IX. and the IV Lateran Council . In 2002 Schieffer advocated the thesis "that the so-called reform papacy of the second half of the 11th century began to steer the Latin church as a whole of its own accord in a previously unknown way, and not so much according to new theological concepts as thanks to practical experience". The increasing papal initiative to implement pastoral goals reached its climax with the letters of Gregory VII . In this context he also dealt with the Sutri song (Rithmus ad Henricum imperatorem), in which the intervention of Henry III. 1046 is sworn into the affairs of the papacy. He spoke out in favor of dating the poem after 1046 and estimated the work as a subsequent justification for Henry III. measures.

In his 2006 published outline of the history and development of the reform papacy since the coronation of Henry III. he also analyzed the role of the Salian rulers and the Roman nobility in papal elections. As a result, he recognized Henry IV 's penance at the castle of the Margravine of Tuscia as a "milestone" in the history of the papacy. In an article published in 2009, Schieffer would like to understand the “unlimited rulership ban” pronounced against Henry IV at the Lenten Synod in 1076 as “a suspension aimed at improvement”. It was only later that Gregor reinterpreted it as a definitive dismissal. Numerous works by Schieffer dealt with Pope Gregory VII. He was able to prove that the register of letters of Pope Gregory VII kept in the papal archive is, contrary to previous claims, actually the original and not a later compiled collection. In 1978 he presented an "experiment on the historical greatness" of Gregory VII. In another article, Schieffer dealt with the claim that Gregory was a monk before his pontificate. For decades it was considered indisputable that Gregory came from the monastic order. After reviewing the scarce sources again, this question could hardly be answered with a clear yes or no. In 2010 he presented a brief biography of Pope Gregory VII. He relied above all on the self-evidence of the almost 400 surviving letters, which [give] an "authentic insight into the moods, concerns and plans of the pope, of which we would otherwise have no idea" and ensured "that we knew about Gregory VII .knew better than anyone else in the 11th century.

In 2013 he published a 350-page account of Christianization and the formation of empires in Europe from 700 to 1200. It was also his most extensive monograph. He dealt with the "profound change" through which "in the first half of the Middle Ages [...] Europe in its (today's) state diversity was laid" in order to "better understand the historically based problems of today's European integration". In his presentation, Schieffer drew “the picture of a pluricultural Europe”. He distinguished five cultural zones, the Roman-Catholic west, the Greek-Orthodox east, the areas of Arab-Muslim expansion, the extensive settlement zones of the Slavs and the "northern and western periphery", which was inhabited by Germanic and partly by Celtic peoples. The work was recognized by Michael Borgolte as a "masterpiece".

source study and text edition

Schieffer was entrusted with the continuation of the edition of the letters of Archbishop Hinkmar von Reims , which Ernst Perels had started before the Second World War. In 1980, together with Thomas Gross, he presented an annotated edition of the treatise De ordine palatii in the MGH Fontes iuris series. Schieffer added a German translation to the Latin text. This was an innovation for MGH editions during this period. In 2003 another volume of five texts by Archbishop Hinkmar of Reims (845-882) and his nephew and suffragan Hinkmar of Laon was published at the MGH. The last work he published a few weeks before his death was the second edition of the edition of the letters of Archbishop Hinkmar von Reims (Volume 1, Part 2: 868-872 , Wiesbaden 2018). It includes 134 letters from the years 868 to 872.

Based on the sources Schieffer tried to identify the Archipoeta . Schieffer suggested an identification with the notary H of Rainald von Dassel's office and further with the head of the Cologne Cathedral School, a certain Radulf.

Bavarian state history

With the move to Munich, subjects relating to Bavarian history also emerged in his research. These works ranged thematically and temporally from the integration of Bavaria into the Carolingian Empire to the work of Albertus Magnus , the temporary bishop of Regensburg. Problems of general history determined Schieffer's questions about the history of the country. For the volume of the handbook of Bavarian church history, he wrote the contribution to Old Bavaria, Franconia and Swabia for the period from 1046 to 1215. His last contribution to Bavarian regional history dealt with the relationship between the popes and the Bavarian dukes in the early and high Middle Ages.

After the closure of the Max Planck Institute for History in 2007, the repertory of the German royal palaces had to be reorganized. The large-scale project records the palaces, royal courts and other places of residence of the kings in the German Empire of the Middle Ages. Schieffer took over the editorship for the repertory of the German royal palaces for Bavaria with Helmut Flachenecker . The first volume for Bavarian Swabia was published in 2016.

Honors and Memberships

Numerous scientific memberships underline his scientific reputation as well as numerous honors. Schieffer was a member of the Science Council from 1984 to 1990 . From 1994 it belonged to the "German Commission for the Processing of the Regesta Imperii e. V." In 1995 he was elected Deputy Chairman and held this position until 2010. Schieffer was elected a full member of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1992. As President of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, he was a corresponding member of the Academy from 1994 to 2012. From 2012 to 2018 he was again a full member of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences and Arts. From 2016 he was a member of the presidency and from 2017 secretary of the humanities class.

He was also a member of the Society for Rhenish History (1981-2018), member of the Central Board of Monumenta Germaniae Historica (1983-2018), member of the Historical Commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences (1994-2018), corresponding fellow of the Royal Historical Society (1995-2018), member of the scientific advisory board of the Albertus Magnus Institute in Bonn (1996-2018), corresponding fellow of the Medieval Academy of America (1997-2018), full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences (1997-2007), Corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (1998-2018), member of the Academy of Non-Profit Sciences in Erfurt (since 1998), corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen (2003-2018) and was Socio straniero of the Accademia dei Lincei (2004-2018 ). From 1993 to 2016 he was a member of the Medieval Commission of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and from 2004 to 2013 he was on the advisory board of the MGH-Constitutiones there. From 1994 to 2018 he was a member and from 1995 to 2010 he was deputy chairman of the "German Commission for the Processing of Regesta Imperii e. V.” He was also on the advisory board of the Roman quarterly publication from 1993 to 2018 .

Schieffer was a member of the Constance working group for medieval history (since 1992) and a member of its board from 2005 to 2013. In autumn 2001, together with Peter Moraw , he organized the conference “German-speaking Medieval Studies in the 20th Century” to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Constance working group for medieval history. In addition, he contributed an article on German-language medieval studies from the late 19th century to 1918. The proceedings of the conference were published in 2005. Schieffer organized another conference of the Constance working group in the spring of 2007 with Theo Kölzer on the subject of “Continuities and breaks from late antiquity to the early Middle Ages , concepts and findings”. Schieffer and Kölzer published the anthology in 2009. Schieffer has participated in numerous other conferences of the working group with contributions.

The historical section of the Bavarian Benedictine Academy counted him among its extraordinary members from 2002. He was also a member of the Görres Society in 1975 and was honorary general secretary there from 1991 to 2016. He was also a member of the executive committee and board of directors. From 2012 he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Roman Institute of the Görres Society . In 2008 he was awarded the Eike von Repgow Prize by the city of Magdeburg for his research on the medieval history of Central Germany. In the same year, Schieffer was awarded the Winfried Prize by the city of Fulda for research into the life and work of St. Boniface .
