Codex diplomaticus Lubecensis

The Codex diplomaticus Lubecensis , the Lübeck document book, is an edition of sources on the medieval history of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck . It combines the texts of traditional diplomatic sources on the history of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and the Diocese of Lübeck from the first written records to the end of the 16th century.

Emergence

The model and impetus for the creation of the Codex diplomaticus Lubecensis was the Codex diplomaticus Mœnofrancofurtanus , the document book of the Imperial City of Frankfurt, published in 1836 by the Frankfurt city archivist and librarian Johann Friedrich Böhmer . In Lübeck the judge Carl Wilhelm Pauli had already found lost archives of the Trese in 1834 and with this rediscovery gave the impetus to record, secure and research the extensive mediaeval document holdings in Lübeck. The publication of the Codex diplomaticus Lubecensis was taken over by the Association for Lübeckische Geschichte und Altertumskunde , which was formed in 1821 at the suggestion of Johann Friedrich Hach as a committee for the collection and preservation of historical sources in the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities . The great task was tackled in cooperation with the Oldenburg archivist Wilhelm Leverkus , who had started his career in 1837 as archivist at the archives of the Lübeck diocese in Eutin. The Codex diplomaticus Lubecensis is accordingly divided into two rows: the first section, the document book of the city of Lübeck (short: UBStL) and the second section, the document book of the Diocese of Lübeck .

Lübeck document book

The Lübeck document book in the narrower sense is embodied in the first section of the Codex diplomaticus Lubecensis , the document book of the city of Lübeck: 1139-1470 (= Codex diplomaticus Lubecensis I). Most of this source edition was handled by the first full-time Lübeck State Archivist Carl Friedrich Wehrmann (volumes 4–10) in the archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck .

Document book of the Diocese of Lübeck

The document book of the Diocese of Lübeck as the second section of the Codex diplomaticus Lubecensis appeared in the processing of the first volume by Wilhelm Leverkus in 1856 as

"Document book of the Diocese of Lübeck", Thl. 1, the years 1154 to 1341

No other volumes in this department appeared in the 19th century. Due to the transfer of the archives of the Lübeck Cathedral Chapter and the Diocese of Lübeck in the course of the incorporation of the Principality of Lübeck into the Prussian Province of Schleswig-Holstein in 1937 through the Greater Hamburg Act to the State Archive of Schleswig-Holstein , the continuation of the document book of the Diocese of Lübeck has been edited since 1994 by Wolfgang Prange in the Schleswig-Holstein Regesta and Certificates (SHRU):

Vol. 13, part 1: Document book of the Diocese of Lübeck 1154-1341.
Vol. 13, part 2: Document book of the Diocese of Lübeck 1220–1439.
Vol. 14, part 3: Document book of the Diocese of Lübeck 1439–1509.
Vol. 15, part 4: Document book of the Diocese of Lübeck 1510–1530.
