Hans K. Schulze

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Kurt Schulze (born October 8, 1932 in Altenburg ; † June 10, 2013 in Niederweimar ) was a German historian . He taught as a full professor for medieval history at the Philipps University of Marburg from the winter semester 1981/82 to 1998.

Live and act

Hans K. Schulze was born as the son of an elementary and special school teacher and later director of the Altenburg Castle Museum . He attended from 1939 to 1943 the primary school Apolda and 1,943 to 1,951 high school Apolda and the Karl-Marx-Oberschule Altenburg. The matriculation examination took place in June 1951. Schulze then studied history from the winter semester 1951/52 to the summer semester 1955 at the University of Leipzig and from the summer semester 1956 to the winter semester 1959/60 history and classical philology at the Free University of Berlin . There he received his doctorate in January 1962 with the thesis aristocracy and state rule under Herbert Helbig . From 1962 to 1970 he worked for Walter Schlesinger as a research assistant at the research center for historical regional studies of Central Germany in Marburg. In 1970 he completed his habilitation with Walter Schlesinger at the University of Marburg with a thesis on the county constitution of the Carolingian era in the areas east of the Rhine for medieval history and German national history.

From 1971 to 1998 Schulze taught as professor for the history of the Middle Ages at the University of Marburg. He was dean of Faculty 06 History and Cultural Studies in 1972/73 and 1988/89 . Even after his retirement, Hans K. Schulze held regular lectures until 2012. Schulze was a member and from 1998 to 2001 chairman of the historical commission for Saxony-Anhalt . He was also a member of the Scientific Working Group for Central Germany and a member of the editorial board of the series urban research in Münster. Matthias Hardt was one of his academic students .

Schulze's main areas of work were the general history of the early and high Middle Ages, legal, constitutional and social history, German regional history as well as the history of the city and settlement. He was considered a proven expert on the history of the empire in medieval Germany. In his habilitation thesis, the county constitution appears to have been “one of the most essential instruments of the king's rule over the empire and as a fundamental institution of the empire organization with regard to the administration of justice, administration and the army”. The fact that Schulze returned to the older teaching, as represented by Georg von Below , was heavily criticized by Michael Borgolte . After Schulze's work, only three larger works on this topic appeared with Michael Borgolte, Ulrich Nonn and Ludwig Holzfurtner . The further controversy remained without a consensual result. In a more recent study, Schulze's work is recognized as a "fulcrum" of the county code. With this work, the approach of exploring small study areas using regional historical methods has prevailed. In addition, the revival of the older constitutional history led to all theses on this subject being put up for discussion.

His basic structures of the constitution in the Middle Ages , published in four volumes, generated a lot of attention beyond the German-speaking area . The fourth edition of the first volume appeared in 2004 and the third edition of the second volume in 2000. The volumes are available in translation in Japan. Schulze wrote the volumes on the Merovingians and Carolingians ( from the empire of the Franks to the land of the Germans ) as well as Ottonen and Salier ( Hegemonic Empire. Ottonen and Salier ) for the series Siedler Deutsche Geschichte in 1987 and 1991 respectively . Central Germany became the focus of his research.
