from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edmund Ernst Stengel (born December 24, 1879 in Marburg ; † October 4, 1968 there ; full name: Edmund Ernst Hermann Stengel ) was a German historian and diplomat .

Life

Edmund Ernst Stengel was a son of the Romanist Edmund Max Stengel and the older brother of the cultural historian Walter Stengel . From 1898 he studied modern history and philology in Lausanne . He moved to Greifswald and Berlin , where he received his doctorate in 1902. Stengel's teacher in Berlin, Michael Tangl , introduced him to research into the immunity privileges of the Saxon and Salian kings. The immunity certificates of the German kings from the 10th to the 12th century became his first research focus, both his dissertation and his habilitation dealt with this topic, in which he combined diplomatic methods and questions of constitutional history.

In 1903, Stengel began the preparatory work for the edition of the Constitutions of Charles IV as part of the Leges department of the MGH . In 1907 he completed his habilitation in Marburg and in 1914 became professor for middle and modern history, especially for the historical auxiliary sciences . In 1922 he created the major institute for medieval history, historical auxiliary sciences and historical regional studies at the University of Marburg. Seven years later he founded the photo archive of older original documents in Marburg . From 1908 he was a member of the Historical Commission for Hesse , 1919–1929 its treasurer and 1929–1939 and 1942–1954 its chairman.

After the seizure of power of the Nazis he was on 11 November 1933 the signatories to the commitment of the professors at German universities and colleges to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi state . In 1937 he became a member of the NSDAP . He left Marburg in the same year when he was appointed President of the Reich Institute for Older German History by Adolf Hitler , which included the management of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (MGH) and the German Historical Institute in Rome . From 1936 he was a corresponding member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences .

Stengel transferred the photo archive from Marburg to Berlin in order to be able to continue working on a table for forging documents . In March 1941 he was an invited guest at the opening of Alfred Rosenberg's pseudoscientific and anti-Jewish institute for research into the Jewish question in Frankfurt. In 1942, Stengel returned to Marburg with the photo archive.

In 1946, Stengel retired. In 1948 he was elected a corresponding member, and in 1950 a full member, of the Central Management of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica. Stengel only stepped down from the management of the various research institutions. In 1963 he handed over the management of the photo archive to Heinrich Büttner . Until 1964 he published ten volumes in the Archives for Diplomatics, History of Writing, Seal and Heraldry (AfD). He also worked as the editor of Nova Alamanniae , Rudolf Losse's estate . Stengel's estate is kept as a deposit in the Hessian State Archives in Marburg (inventory 340 Stengel).
