The German Society for Ordinance e. V. (DGO) is a registered association based in Gäufelden .

The DGO was founded in Berlin in 1974. The purpose is to promote research in the field of religious orders ( phaleristics ). The association deals with the labeling system in Germany and around the world. The DGO has 1,150 registered members (as of 2018). It is thus the largest society in Europe for the field of phaleristics (religious orders). More than 200 members come from other European countries (mainly Denmark , France , Belgium ) and overseas.

38 authorities, archives, libraries and museums belong to the association as "corresponding members". These include the German Historical Museum , the Foundation for the House of History of the Federal Republic of Germany , the State Chancellery of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , the Altenburg Castle and Playing Card Museum , the Bavarian Army Museum in Ingolstadt and the Dresden State Art Collections ( Coin Cabinet ) and the Coin Cabinet of the State Museums zu Berlin - Prussian cultural heritage .

history

In 1974 the "Bund Deutscher Ordensammler" (BDOS) was founded. In 2000 the association was renamed “BDOS - German Society for Ordinary Studies” and in 2010 it was renamed “German Society for Ordinary Studies” (DGO) and brings together collectors from Germany and abroad. Two national meetings and a symposium annually with a collector's and swap market, exhibitions and lectures are evidence of his activity. The DGO is recognized as a non-profit organization.

Bernd Döbel has been president of the association since 2009 .

tasks

 The association provides and maintains:

• Basic work on phaleristics (religious orders)
• Research work
• Information on all questions from collectors and researchers
• Counterfeit detection
• Worldwide contacts

All members are informed about collecting areas and topics related to order by the bi-monthly magazine. Symposia are also held every two years. These are usually accompanied by specialist exhibitions. For several years, the venue has been the residential city of Altenburg.

Scientific Advisory Board

The Scientific Advisory Board works on the basis of the association's statutes. The purposes of the association are laid down in it. The most important task is to research the medals and decorations.

The advisory board aims to ideally promote phaleristic research and to scientifically accompany the efforts of the members of the DGO - as well as other private and public collectors. He endeavors to publicize the phaleristics as a scientific field like the activities of the DGO members also among the members of other phaleristic associations and societies, among the representatives of related branches of science, at universities and in other public areas. The Advisory Board advises the DGO Presidium on questions of academic religious studies. The main practical tasks facing the advisory board are: the promotion of phaleristic basic publications and the organization and / or promotion of phaleristic symposia.

History

The Scientific Advisory Board was founded at the 4th Gunzenhausen Phaleristics Symposium in April 1999 after about a year of preparatory work. Initiators and founding members were: Willi Waldvogel, Leipheim, the former president of the DGO; Werner Bergmann , Kirchenlamitz, First Vice President, responsible for scientific work in the DGO and Dietrich Herfurth, Berlin, Chairman of the Advisory Board. The founding members also included: Peter Groch, Berlin; Václav Mericka, Prague; Klaus-Peter Merta, Berlin; Attila Pandula, Budapest; Peter Sauerwald, Kaarst; Gerd Scharfenberg, Berlin; Gustav Andreas Tammann, Basel; Günter Thiede, Berlin.

The establishment of the Scientific Advisory Board was advised when in the 1990s there was a discussion among leading phaleristic experts about basic phaleristic questions, including the narrow or broad version of the term “phaleristics / ordinance”, terminological problems and deficits in phaleristics. In order to promote the scientific controversy and possibly to reach a common opinion, the exchange via the specialist press was not enough, so that the Scientific Advisory Board was created as a body in which the pending questions could be discussed directly.

The Phaleristik 2000 program announced in the DGO aimed in the same direction: to transform the Association of Order Collectors into an association for collectors and researchers. A little later this was also expressed in the name of the association, which from then on bore the addition "German Society for Religious Studies".

The DGO maintains a club library with its own location at the University Library of Bayreuth . This is where the special literature on phaleristics is collected, which are handed over to the Bayreuth University Library as free copies and accessible to the public for research purposes.

Advisory board members

• Lars Adler from Darmstadt has been the chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board since May 2013 .

Current advisory board members are:

• Bernd Döbel, Pinneberg (President of the DGO)
• Eckart Henning , Berlin

• Jörg Nimmergut , Munich
• Peter Sauerwald, Kaarst

The following are invited as permanent guests to the advisory board meetings: the editor of the magazine “Orden und Ehrenzeichen”, a representative of the editorial advisory board and the owner of the Phalerist publishing house Michael Autengruber .

The basis of the work of the advisory board are the statutes of the DGO, the work rules of the advisory board, the document “Thoughts on basic phaleristic questions” and the advisory board's resolutions. The motto of the Scientific Advisory Board THEORIA CUM PRAXI means: theory and practice are inextricably linked in the work of the advisory board.

Work and results

Before the founding of the Scientific Advisory Board, there were deficits in the theoretical religious order work in the following areas: There was no modern definition of the term phaleristics, which did not appear in either general reference works or in the writings on the historical auxiliary sciences, so that it was publicly like practically nonexistent in history. There were hardly any direct connections to committees that represented other historical auxiliary sciences - such as numismatics , heraldry or genealogy . Phaleristic publications - books as well as magazine articles - were often of a low scientific level and basic works of phaleristics were missing, which made orientation in the subject difficult and made it almost impossible for outsiders and newcomers.

Work has now been done to address some of these shortcomings. A generally recognized definition of the historical auxiliary science of phaleristics was developed and used in numerous ordained books and articles. The term phaleristics was included in Brockhaus publications. Relations between the DGO and some universities have improved, as have those with the Herald , the Heraldry, Genealogy and Allied Sciences Association and sister societies abroad.

Right from the start, the Scientific Advisory Board and its members were the sponsors and co-creators of the Phaleristics Symposia, which were held in the Middle Franconian town of Gunzenhausen in spring from 1997 to 2005 , then in Sigmaringen in 2006 , in Bayreuth in 2008 and - together with the Friends of Austria Society for religious orders - in Passau (2007) and Bregenz (2009). Between 2000 and 2005, the advisory board was the organizer and designer of the symposia. Many religious religious found a platform here to present their work results.
