Life

Andrea Stieldorf graduated from high school in Bonn in 1986. From 1986 to 1993 she studied history and Italian at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. There she was a student of Raymund Kottje . Since 1996 she has also worked in Bonn as a research assistant or later as a research assistant. She received her doctorate in the 1997/98 winter semester in Bonn on a topic inspired by Kottje and supervised by Theo Kölzer on Rhenish women's seals in the 13th and 14th centuries. In 2000, Stieldorf was supported by the Albert Steeger grant from the Rhineland Regional Council. She completed her habilitation in 2008 with Theo Kölzer in Bonn with a thesis on the subject of brands and margraves - studies on border security by the Franconian-German rulers .

In 2010, she was appointed to the professorship for basic historical sciences at the Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg as the successor to Horst Enzensberger . In June 2012 she gave her inaugural lecture on the subject of heroes or saints? Images of imperial princes between the ideal of the class, legal symbols and politics . On October 1, 2015, she accepted a position at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. There, as the successor to Theo Kölzer, she took over the Chair of Medieval History and Basic Historical Sciences in the 2015/16 winter semester. Stieldorf is a member of the Commission International de Diplomatique , the Association for Historical Regional Studies of the Rhineland and the Historical Association for the History of the Lower Rhine . Since volume 64 (2018), Stieldorf has published the specialist journal Archiv für Diplomatik together with Irmgard Fees . In this role, she succeeded Andreas Meyer, who died in 2017 .

Research priorities

Her main research interests are the constitutional history of the early and high Middle Ages, university history as well as historical auxiliary sciences and above all the doctrine of documents, seals and coins. In her dissertation, Stieldorf comprehensively describes the seal management of women of the secular class in the Rhineland from around 1200 to 1400 for the first time. In doing so, she not only wants to deal with the seal-related and auxiliary scientific aspects, but also "the legal leeway of women of the various aristocratic groups [... ]. ”With this she wants to show that“ especially today the auxiliary sciences can make contributions to current issues ”. In the catalog part of the thesis, the more than 1300 certificates and almost 490 seals of 401 sealers are listed and described. Stieldorf published the first results on seal management in medieval women's communities . The use of the seal mostly started after the middle of the 12th century and therefore much later than in the male communities. In 2004 she presented an introduction to the sealing customer. Since the presentation by the Detmold archivist Erich Kittel (1970), no coherent presentation has appeared. In the first part, it deals with the state of research, methodology, basic terms and technical terms and in the second part the non-diplomatic use of seals, the sealing of documents, seal rights and seal forgery, the nature of the seals and seal guides, seal images and seal inscriptions.

The aim of her habilitation is to "explore the possibilities and limits of royal rule and power in a specific field of reference". She hopes to gain new knowledge about the border areas themselves, their relationship to the ruler and the functioning of medieval statehood. The work consists of three parts. In the first part (pp. 36–187) she examines the use of the source term marca or marchia , especially from the 9th to the 12th centuries . The second part of the work (pp. 188–349) deals with the use of the source term marchio . The third major section (pp. 350–586) examines the rulers' room for maneuver in securing the imperial borders from the 6th to the 12th centuries. According to their results, a real “brand organization” can no longer be assumed. There was no institutionalized system of border security on the fringes of the Carolingian Empire. Older legal and constitutional historical research had transferred the brand “system”, which was only recognizable in the sources of the 14th century, on the northeast, east and southeast borders of the empire to the early Middle Ages. According to this point of view, a structured and hierarchized system of "brands and margraves" existed, "which surrounded the empire like a protective ring". Stieldorf's work was recognized as "a significant contribution to research into the German-Slavic border and contact zone on the middle Elbe and Saale in what is now Saxony-Anhalt".

Stieldorf presented numerous special studies on the emergence and use of the brand term. In a study published in 2014, she tried to understand the use of the terms marchia and marchio from the 10th to the 12th centuries in the west of the empire.
