Live and act

Christoph Dartmann studied history and Catholic theology at the University of Münster and the Università degli Studi di Bologna from 1990 to 1997 . In 1997 he passed the state examination. In 1998 he received his doctorate in Münster from Hagen Keller with a thesis on the miracle reports in the Historia Mediolanensis and the Arialdsvita . Dartmann was a research assistant at the University of Münster from 1998 to 1999 in the Collaborative Research Center 231 “Carriers, Fields, Forms of Pragmatic Writing” and from 2000 to 2008 in the Collaborative Research Center 496 “Symbolic Communication and Social Value Systems from the Middle Ages to the French Revolution”. From 2008 to 2011 he held a junior professorship for Medieval History with a special focus on the Early and High Middle Ages at the History Department of the University of Münster. From October 2008 to September 2015 he was the head of the project “The implementation of written norms in the early Middle Ages in the area of ​​tension between religion and politics” of the Cluster of Excellence “Religion and Politics”. His habilitation also took place in 2010 with Keller at the University of Münster on political interaction in the Italian city commune from the 11th to the 14th century. Dartmann held substitute professorships at the University of Rostock (2011–2012), the University of Vechta (2012–2013), the University of Trier (2013–2014) and at the University of Hamburg (since 2014). In 2015, Dartmann accepted a professorship for Medieval History at the University of Hamburg on October 1, 2015. He is one of the editors of the History of Christian Orders series .

His work focuses on the political, social and cultural history of the Mediterranean in the High and Late Middle Ages, Benedictine monasticism in the Middle Ages, the history of literacy, the history of political communication and medieval cultures of conflict, and the history of Italy in the high and late Middle Ages. In his habilitation, published in 2009, Dartmann placed the focus on the beginnings of the Milanese commune (1050–1140), the consular commune of Genoa in the 12th century and the urban commune of Florence around 1300. According to Dartmann, political conditions were "not only represented" through public interactions , but "manufactured". Dartmann observed an "unusual openness of inner-city communication" in the early commune during the first decades of the 12th century when developing a set of political rules. Together with Günther Wassilowsky and Thomas Weller, Dartmann published an anthology in 2010 on the technology and symbolism of premodern electoral processes. The anthology is based on a colloquium held in 2007 on premodern electoral procedures as part of the Münster Collaborative Research Center “Symbolic Communication and Social Value Systems from the Middle Ages to the French Revolution”. In 2011 Dartmann, Thomas Scharff and Christoph Friedrich Weber published an anthology. The contributions go back to a conference held in Münster in May 2007, which dealt with medieval written form. The conference was held in honor of Hagen Keller's 70th birthday. In 2018 Dartmann published an introduction to Benedictine monasticism from the writing of the Rule of Benedict in the 6th century to the Reformation .
