Hermann Jakobs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Jakobs (born March 2, 1930 in Hagen ) is a German historian .

Hermann Jakobs passed his Abitur in Münster in 1951. He studied history, German and philosophy at the Universities of Marburg , Göttingen , Stuttgart and Cologne . In 1956 he was in Cologne with Theodor Schieffer with the work Die Hirsauer. Its expansion and legal status in the age of the investiture controversy is promoted. In Cologne in 1966 his habilitation took place on the subject of the nobility in the monastery reform of St. Blasien . Jakobs initially taught in Cologne, and from 1975 he was professor at the University of Heidelberg , where he taught medieval history and historical auxiliary sciences until his retirement at the end of the winter semester 1994/95 . There he was also director of the Institute for Franconian-Palatinate History and Regional Studies. Jakobs supervised 13 dissertations and two habilitation theses. His most important academic students include Rolf Hammel-Kiesow , Armin Kohnle , Folker Reichert and Armin Wolf . In the academic self-administration, Jakobs worked twice (1977/78 and 1989/90) as dean of the Philosophical Faculty.

His work focuses on the constitutional and social history of the 10th to 12th centuries in monastery and church reform, the communal movement, the typology of the early city seals and the papal documents. Dissertation and habilitation were devoted to two fundamental works on the high medieval monastic reform. Both works show the influence of Theodor Schieffer and Kassius Hallinger . For the first time since Paul Giseke (1883), his dissertation presented a comprehensive account of the Hirsau reform . Later in his career he devoted himself primarily to papal documents. The focus of his regional history work lies in the Rhenish and southwestern Germany area. From 1979 to 2012 Jakobs was co-editor of the Oldenbourg Grundriss der Geschichte series, together with Jochen Bleicken and Lothar Gall . Jakobs has been a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen since 1979 and a full member (since 2007 corresponding member) of the Commission for Historical Regional Studies in Baden-Württemberg . Jakobs was appointed to the Commission internationale de diplomatique and stayed there until 2000. In 1995 he was honored with a commemorative publication.
