Claudia Ulbrich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claudia Ulbrich (born October 4, 1949 in Neunkirchen / Saar ) is a German historian .

Claudia Ulbrich studied history and German at the Saarland University from 1968 to 1976 . In 1974 the first state examination for teaching at grammar schools took place in the subjects of German and history. In 1977 she passed the second state examination. In the same year she received her doctorate at the University of Saarland with a thesis supervised by Peter Blickle on the subject of body rule on the Upper Rhine in the late Middle Ages . After completing her doctorate, she worked in various research projects in Bochum and Saarbrücken. From 1991 to 1993 she had a habilitation grant from the German Research Foundation . Ulbrich was visiting professor at the University of Vienna in 1993 . In 1994 he completed his habilitation at the Ruhr University Bochum with the work Women in the Village. Spaces of action and worlds of experience for women in the 18th century from the perspective of a local society .

From 1994 to 2003 Ulbrich taught as a professor for modern history with a focus on gender history / historical women's studies at the Free University of Berlin (FU). She gave her inaugural lecture at the Free University of Berlin on July 10, 1996 on women in insurrection. Possibilities and limits of their participation in early modern peasant movements . From 1998 to January 1999 she was dean of the Department of History and from February 1999 to March 2001 dean of the newly formed Department of History and Cultural Studies. From 2003 to 2015 she was Professor of Early Modern History and Gender History at the Free University of Berlin. From 2004 to 2012 spokeswoman for the DFG research group 530: Self-testimonies from a transcultural perspective. From 2015 to 2017 she was a Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Jewish Studies Berlin-Brandenburg .

Her main research interests are the history of the early modern period, gender history / historical women's studies, self-testimonies from a transcultural perspective and Christian-Jewish relationships. Her research opened up new perspectives on the conflictual nature of power relations in rural societies. Above all, she was also interested in the rural residents. Her work on peasant wives, maidservants, daughters and widows provided new perspectives on power relations, rulership techniques, imaginations and everyday practices in these societies. In her essay Naughty Women , she addressed the question of how female behavior towards the authorities in the post-Reformation period became visible in the sources. The article about the Heggbacher Chronik asked about the source value and the significance if women were assigned a role in the peasant war in a chronicle. Ulbrich dealt with rural societies until the French Revolution . Gender and religious history aspects are linked even more closely. In her dissertation on corporal rule on the Upper Rhine in the late Middle Ages, she analyzed ecclesiastical ( St. Blasien and Teutonic Order Beuggen ), urban (Basel, Solothurn, Freiburg / Br.) And aristocratic rule (the margraviate of Baden and aristocratic rule in the bishopric of Basel ). She was able to prove that there were no specifically monastic, aristocratic or urban forms of body rule from the 14th to the 16th century. With this work, Ulbrich made "an essential contribution to a better knowledge of the southwest German agricultural constitution in the late Middle Ages".

Ulbrich published important studies on personal reports and chronicles. She is working on a critical edition of the writings of the actress Karoline Kummerfeld . For the first time, her two biographies, The Whole Story of My Life (1783) and the True Story of My Theatrical Life (1793) are made available as separate texts. In addition, further notes by Schulze-Kummerfeld from the years 1785–1815 are being edited. The complete work is to appear in three volumes in 2020. From 2011 to 2018 the project was funded by the German Research Foundation. For her research, she was awarded the Eduard Martin Prize of the Saarland University in 1977 and the Margherita von Brentano Prize of the FU Berlin in 1997.
