Amalie Fößel studied history, German, sociology and political science at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg . In 1987 the first state examination for teaching at grammar schools took place. From 1988 to 1992 she was a research assistant at the University of Bayreuth . In Bayreuth, she received her doctorate with a thesis on the local heretics , inspired and supervised by Peter Segl . From 1992 to 1998 Fößel was a research assistant. In 1998 the habilitation and the Venia legendi for the subjects of medieval history and historical auxiliary sciences took place . From 1998 to 2002 she was senior assistant. From 2001 to 2008 Fößel represented various chairs in Munich (LMU), Saarbrücken , Bayreuth, Regensburg and Essen . Since the summer semester of 2008 she has been teaching as professor for the history of the Middle Ages at the University of Duisburg-Essen.
Her research interests include the political and constitutional history of the Middle Ages, queenhood and female rule in medieval Europe, deviance , heresy , religious ways of life and worldviews, the Beguines and diplomacy . Her habilitation thesis The Queen in the Medieval Empire became a standard work. With the work, a comprehensive overview of the functions and areas of activity of the queen from the 10th to the 15th century was presented for the first time. The time frame of the investigation spans the 10th to 15th centuries and the investigation of around 40 Roman-German queens during this period is the subject matter. She dealt in detail with the coronations of the rulers, their titles, their functions at court, in judiciary and in rulership practice.
