Live and act

Christine Reinle studied human medicine at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg in 1981/82 . From 1982 to 1987 she studied history and German at the University of Mannheim . From 1988 to 1990 she was a PhD scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation . From 1990 to 1995 she was a research assistant (until August 31, 1993) or assistant (from September 1, 1993) at the chair of Hanna Vollrath at the Ruhr University in Bochum. Reinle was in 1992 with a thesis supervised by Karl-Friedrich Krieger on the learned advice Ulrich Riederer in the service of Friedrich III. PhD. Your study made an important contribution to a reassessment of the reign of Frederick III. From 1995 to 2000 she was a research assistant for medieval history at the University of Mannheim. In 1999 she completed her habilitation with an investigation into the feuds of non-nobles in the Roman-German Empire, with special emphasis on the Bavarian duchies (13th-16th centuries). The work became a standard work.

In the 2000/01 winter semester, she taught as a substitute professor for medieval history with a focus on the late Middle Ages at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . Reinle taught from 2001 to 2004 as a professor for medieval history, especially the history of the later Middle Ages, at the Ruhr University in Bochum. Since December 2004 she has been teaching as the successor to Peter Moraw as professor for German regional history / history of the late Middle Ages at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen. Reinle is a member of the Hessian Historical Commission, Darmstadt (since 2005), the Historical Commission for Hesse, Marburg (since 2005), the Historical Commission Nassau (since 2009) and a member of the Konstanz Working Group for Medieval History (since April 2014).

Reinle's research focuses on imperial and royal rule in the late Middle Ages, nobility and feud research, the late medieval form of sovereignty, the "secret sciences" and politics in the late Middle Ages, as well as Joan of Arc . Reinle investigated the feud in the late Middle Ages with particular vigor, which she researched in numerous investigations under the most varied of aspects. In her habilitation, she starts from the assumption that "within the framework of feuding, claims that found support in the customary system of norms of society as a whole or an integrated part of society should be enforced through a violent self-help process that was also legitimized by this norm system". According to their definition, the feud was "a segment of the broad spectrum of violence, the use of which was recognized as a means of conflict resolution in medieval society". According to previous research opinion, the feud belonged exclusively to the nobility. The population subject to aristocratic rule had no claim of their own to extrajudicial self-help , apart from the blood revenge ("murder argument"). In her habilitation thesis in Mannheim, however, Reinle was able to demonstrate for the Bavarian duchies in the 15th and 16th centuries that the feud was widespread as a social practice and form of conflict settlement in all social classes. Reinle was able to show that the feud was used intensively not only by aristocrats, but also by farmers. With her work Reinle made "an essential contribution to medieval conflict research".

Further research is devoted to the medieval Amazon image, the stereotypical ideas of young people up to the middle of the 16th century, and the male environment of Saint Elizabeth of Thuringia .

In January 2014 Reinle conceived and organized an international conference on the research influence of the Gießen mediaevalist Peter Moraw, who died in 2013, on German mediaeval studies. Reinle published the results of the conference in 2016. In autumn 2019, Reinle organized a Reichenau conference of the Constance working group for medieval history with the topic "Religious Discussions and Religious Polemics in the Middle Ages".
