Live and act

Andreas Rutz spent his school days in Brandenburg , Greifswald , Osnabrück and North Huntingdon / Pennsylvania. After doing community service in Geldern and Bonn, he studied history, philosophy and classical archeology in Bonn , Paris ( Sorbonne ) and New York . From 2001 to 2004 he was a doctoral scholarship holder of the Gerda Henkel Foundation and the German National Academic Foundation . From 2004 to 2005 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for European History in Mainz . He received his doctorate in 2005 in Bonn with Manfred Groten . From 2005 to 2014 he was a research assistant to Manfred Groten at the Institute for History of the University of Bonn, Department for Rhenish Regional History. In 2014 he completed his habilitation with a thesis on the topic of territorial demarcation in the Holy Roman Empire .

In the winter semester 2014/15 he was a substitute professor for Werner Freitag at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster for Westphalian and comparative national history, for Manfred Groten in the winter semester 2015/16 for Rhenish national history in Bonn and in the winter semester 2018/19 and in the summer semester 2019 a substitute professor for Achim Landwehr at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf . In 2018 he received a research grant from the Gerda Henkel Foundation. Since September 2019 he has held the chair for Saxon regional history at the TU Dresden . The focus in Dresden is on regional gender research and the global historical dimension of the Saxon regional history. His inaugural lecture in November 2019 dealt with the history of the country in a globalized world. Since May 1, 2020, it forms together with Enno Bünz the Board of the non-university Institute for Saxon History and Folklore .

His main research interests are comparative national and urban history, European regional history, domination and space, gender history, Reformation and denominationalization, and digital history. In regional history, Rutz has worked on the Rhineland, Westphalia, Franconia and Bavaria. The aim of his dissertation was an “analysis of the importance of religious women's communities for the training and development of a Catholic girls' education system in the early modern period using the example of selected Rhenish territories”. He treated the northern Rhineland ( Electorate of Cologne , Essen Monastery , Duchies of Kleve , Jülich , Berg , imperial cities of Cologne and Aachen ) as a study area in the period from the Reformation to secularization (1802/03). In his habilitation, he questions the change described by Theodor Mayer from the state of associations of persons to an institutional (and dependent on borderlines) territorial state "as well as the thesis of a gradual narrowing of the border area to the borderline". At the center of his analysis he places the "acts of demarcation itself, [...] as part of the construction of spaces, more precisely of domains". The study area includes Westphalia, the Rhineland, Franconia and Old Bavaria. After evaluating sovereign files, printed and hand-drawn maps and other printed source material, he comes to the conclusion that a “duality of person-related and area-based rule” must be spoken of.

One focus of current research deals with the participation of women in power and rule in Europe in the early modern period. Since 2019 he has been working in the DFG project on the topic of “Female Power Participation in the Early Modern Era. Regencies in the Holy Roman Empire from a Western European perspective ”.
