from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernd Schütte (born March 23, 1961 in Bückeburg ) is a German historian .

Bernd Schütte studied history, Middle Latin, Latin and historical auxiliary sciences in Göttingen and Bonn from 1982 to 1989 . In his master's thesis, written in 1988/89, Schütte dealt with the nine letters of Abbot Walo von St. Arnulf before Metz . In 1992 he received his doctorate from Rudolf Schieffer in Bonn with the work The Descriptions of Queen Mathilde's Life. Tradition - Edition - Investigations . From 1989 to 1993 he was a research assistant at the University of Bonn. In 1999 he completed his habilitation in Leipzig with a thesis on Philipp von Schwaben . Schütte was a research assistant and senior assistant at the University of Leipzig from 1993 to 2004 . He also taught at the universities of Jena , Bonn , Kassel and Halle . Schütte is the editor and editor of the Pöhlder Annalen , one of the most important historical works in the German High Middle Ages . The project is funded by the German Research Foundation.

His main research interests are the exchange of messages and the communication groups in the mirror of Wibald's letter book, the bishops from Halberstadt until the end of the Staufer period , the works of Eberwin von Trier (tradition, edition, commentary), the history of the Chancellor in the late Sali-Staufer period and King Konrad III . In 1995 Schütte published the nine letters of Abbot Walo von St. Arnulf in front of Metz in one edition for the first time . Schütte is a proven expert in the personal environment at the court of Philip of Swabia. His habilitation is the first major study on Philipp von Schwaben since the yearbooks of German history . The aim of his work on Philipp von Schwaben was not to “write a history of the controversy for the throne from 1197/1198 to 1208 and its connections”, but rather to examine it against the background of the itinerary , the practice of awarding certificates and the composition of the court , "What scope of action and what integrative power Philip's royal rule ultimately had". The work is devoted to the question of "which room and which people Philip reached royal rule". In three parts he examines the itinerary (pp. 8–105), the traditional documents (pp. 106–150) and the surroundings of the Staufer (pp. 151–243). The other parts of the work include the residence registers (pp. 249–415), a “directory of the most important people in and around Philip of Swabia” (pp. 416–559) and the registers. In his results, Schütte noted a strong regionalization of the royal itinerary, the award of certificates and visits to the court. The political situation during the controversy for the throne prevented an "approximately orderly move through the empire". According to Schütte, there could be no question of “an even coverage of the empire through a constant royal move”. Overall, the throne controversy that lasted until 1214 "acted like a catalyst", "which accelerated the release of the centrifugal forces of the imperial constitution". When it comes to the composition of the royal courts, out of 630 identified persons (54 bishops, 19 secular imperial princes , 180 counts and noble free as well as 100 imperial ministerials ) about 100 are "occupied in a somewhat noticeable density at the Staufer".
