Horst Fuhrmann

Horst Fuhrmann (born June 22, 1926 in Kreuzburg in Upper Silesia ; † September 9, 2011 in Herrsching am Ammersee ) was a German historian who researched the history of the early and high Middle Ages . Fuhrmann held chairs for Medieval History at the Universities of Tübingen (1962–1971) and Regensburg (1971–1992). From 1971 to 1994 he was President of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, the most important institute devoted to the research of the Middle Ages and the edition of medieval sources. From 1992 to 1997 he was also President of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences . Fuhrmann's main focus was on forgeries in the Middle Ages. In the late years of his life, Fuhrmann explored his homeland, Silesia. With his books Invitation to the Middle Ages (1987), The Popes (1998) and Everywhere is Middle Ages (2002), he tried to bring the Middle Ages closer to a wider audience.

Life

Early years

Horst Fuhrmann was born as the son of an official of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Kreuzburg, Upper Silesia. At the age of seventeen he did labor service and then military service from 1943 onwards . After a short time in American captivity, he was released to Kiel. His parents and two brothers were missing. After the war he caught up with his school leaving examination. Fuhrmann had "originally never intended to become a historian". After the war, he was unable to realize his dream of being an aircraft designer in Kiel. Instead of flight technology, he studied law at the University of Kiel from the summer semester of 1946 . After one semester, he switched to history and classical philology . He discarded a planned doctoral thesis on the religion of the auxiliary troops after the departure of his original doctoral supervisor Herbert Nesselhauf to Freiburg. Fuhrmann turned to the Middle Ages. In 1952 he received his doctorate with a thesis on medieval patriarchates under Karl Jordan . The work was published fundamentally and in three annual volumes in the Zeitschrift für Rechtsgeschichte . Fuhrmann received the faculty award of the University of Kiel for his doctoral thesis. He finished his studies in 1954 with the state examination in history and Latin.

From 1954 to 1956 he worked for the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (MGH) in Munich and undertook archival and library tours in Italy on their behalf. In 1957 he received a scholarship at the German Historical Institute in Rome. From August 1957 to the end of 1961 he was Jordan's assistant in Kiel. In the winter semester 1960/61, the habilitation took place there in the subjects of Medieval and Modern History with a paper on the meaning and effectiveness of the pseudoisidorical decretals , a collection of forged decretals (papal letters with canonical decisions) that was created around the middle of the 9th century . The habilitation thesis Influence and Distribution of the Pseudo-Isidorical Forgeries was published in three volumes in 1972–1974 in the MGH's writings. For his habilitation thesis he received the Premio Spoleto of the Centro Italiano di Studi sull 'Alto Medioevo in 1962 .

Professor in Tübingen

In March 1962, at the age of 36, Fuhrmann was appointed to the newly created Chair for Medieval and Modern History at the University of Tübingen, which he held for nine years. Fuhrmann thus became a colleague of Heinz Löwe , who had held the other professorship for the history of the Middle Ages since 1961. He gave his inaugural lecture in February 1964 on The Holiness of the Popes in the Middle Ages . Fuhrmann ensured that the seminar library was extensively equipped with literature from the fields of canon law and church history. In Tübingen he supervised 17 dissertations, six of them in his position as Tübingen professor. The last dissertation of a Tübingen student was completed in 1975. Hubert Mordek and Peter Hilsch were among his first students and employees in Tübingen . His most important works in Tübingen are the treatise Konstantinische Donation and Occidental Empire , published in 1966 . A contribution to the tradition of the Constitutum Constantini and the edition of the Constitutum Constantini published two years later .

In the summer of 1966 he was offered a professorship at the University of Kiel. The students of the student council then organized a torchlight procession to persuade Fuhrmann to stay in Tübingen. In the negotiations to stay with the ministry, Fuhrmann was able to enforce the establishment of a canonical research center. Fuhrmann was opposed to the student protests in the 1968 era . He declined the participation and co-determination of the students as well as the employees. During his time in Tübingen he produced 20 other publications. He also edited a volume of sources on the emergence of the papal state. Fuhrmann came as a professor - completely inappropriate - to the university by bike. Years later, the local press remembered him as an environmentally friendly cyclist.

President of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica and professor in Regensburg

Since 1965 Fuhrmann was a member of the central management of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (MGH). In March 1967 he was proposed for the presidency of the MGH. This worsened his relationship with his colleague Heinz Löwe, who had also applied for the office of president. However, the ministries twice extended the term of office of incumbent President Herbert Grundmann . From November 15, 1971 to March 31, 1994, Fuhrmann succeeded Grundmann as President of the MGH. He was in office longer than any of his predecessors since 1875. At the same time, he taught from October 1, 1971 to September 30, 1992 as a full professor of history at the University of Regensburg . After his departure, his Tübingen chair remained orphaned until it was filled by Dietrich Kurz in 1973. After Kurz left early for Berlin in 1975, the chair fell victim to the austerity measures, and Fuhrmann's efforts to retain the chair were unsuccessful.

As President of the MGH, Fuhrmann had a reduced teaching load of two hours per week. Fuhrmann was exempted from offices in academic self-government and from state examination examinations. The courses were mainly main or research seminars with an intensive interpretation of the source texts. During his entire tenure as President of the MGH, he edited the magazine German Archives for Research into the Middle Ages together with Hans Martin Schaller . It is one of the leading mediaeval specialist journals in the German-speaking and international area. Under his editorship, the number of reviewed authors has more than tripled from 800 to 2595.

The two main goals of his presidency were to finance medieval research and to build bridges “between the specialist and the public”. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica on March 12, 1969 in Munich, Fuhrmann gave his inaugural address as President on “Concern for the right-wing text”. In it, Fuhrmann describes the editors' concern for critical text preparation. Fuhrmann also made it clear that taxpayers and citizens who are not familiar with the matter have a right to have the research results presented in an understandable form.

The external impact of the institute changed under Fuhrmann's presidency. On his initiative, MGH held an international congress on counterfeiting in the Middle Ages with almost 550 participants in September 1986 - for the first time in its long history . New series of publications were founded under Fuhrmann. The first volume of “Studies and Texts” appeared in 1991. Editions that had fallen asleep also received new impulses. Shortly after assuming the presidency, the edition of the councils was resumed and extended to the period up to 1059. Between 1984 and 2010 four extensive volumes were published in the field of Concilia. This area had almost completely come to a standstill since 1908. Fuhrmann was also open to technical developments. Since the 1980s, IT has become increasingly important. Fuhrmann promoted Timothy Reuter's efforts to create editions with word processing programs. He also campaigned for the texts collected in the MGH volumes to be made available digitally. But he himself no longer learned how to use the computer.

During his presidency, the relationship between the MGH and its publishers was adjusted. There had been legal disputes with the Weidmann publishing house about the number of copies and pricing . The dispute dragged on from 1972 to 1985, which the MGH successfully won. The collaboration with a large number of publishers was ended and the Hahnschen Buchhandlung was the only publisher. Fuhrmann also improved the cooperation with the academies. The Academy of Sciences in Mainz got another employee position in 1974. After 1989, the number of employees at the Academy in Berlin could be increased. The Saxon Academy in Leipzig also got an additional employee. In addition, after reunification, Fuhrmann returned the jobs in Leipzig and (East) Berlin to the Monumenta association. Fuhrmann was a member and temporarily chairman of the advisory board of the Max Planck Institute for History in Göttingen between 1971 and 1994 .

Fuhrmann worked on the monograph German History in the High Middle Ages , which appeared for the first time in 1978 and had several editions. In his portrayal, Fuhrmann attached greater importance to the everyday situation of people in the Middle Ages, in addition to the emperors and popes. In his first years in Regensburg, the focus of his seminars was on topics relating to the history of the 11th and 12th centuries. In 1972 he was elected to the historical commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences . In 1974 he became a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and was its president from 1992 to 1997.

Kaulbach-Villa in Munich, since 1988 the seat of the historical college

Fuhrmann became a personal member of the Board of Trustees of the Historisches Kolleg in 1978 and served as its chairman from 1984 to 1997. In addition to the four awards of the Historical College, the move into the Kaulbach Villa on November 24, 1988 as the headquarters of the College was one of the highlights of his tenure. On the occasion of the opening of the Kaulbach-Villa, he published the font The Kaulbach-Villa as the house of the historical college . During his tenure, a particularly large number of medievalists became members of the Historical College. Fuhrmann founded the yearbook of the historical college in 1995 . The aim was to make the activities of the Historisches Kolleg known to a wider public. The 2007 yearbook had to be discontinued for financial reasons. During Fuhrmann's time as Chairman of the Board of Trustees, “the history of the Historisches Kolleg became a success story”.

As an academic teacher, Fuhrmann was able to inspire numerous students for his subject and for canonical studies. In Regensburg he supervised six further dissertations. Fuhrmann's students in Tübingen and Regensburg include Walter Berschin , Wilfried Hartmann , Hubert Mordek , Tilmann Schmidt , Wolfgang Stürner , Claudia Märtl , Franz Fuchs . His students took over chairs in Freiburg, Würzburg, Tübingen, Munich, Rostock and other places. His student Claudia Märtl took over the management of the MGH from 2012 to 2014. In their dissertations with pre-Gratian canon law, the origin and aftermath of the Constantinian donation, the history of the councils and the popes, the history of Gregory VII and the investiture dispute , Fuhrmann's students mostly worked on the research focus of the doctoral supervisor. An exception was Fuhrmann's first student Peter Hilsch, who received his doctorate on The Bishops of Prague in the early Staufer period and thus worked on a topic outside the main area of ​​work of the doctoral supervisor. For his 65th birthday Fuhrmann was dedicated to a commemorative publication by his students. Fuhrmann held his farewell lecture as a professor in Regensburg on “Welcome and Farewell. About greeting and farewell rituals in the Middle Ages. ”On the occasion of his 75th birthday, a colloquium was held in Tübingen at the end of July 2001. Fuhrmann himself gave an overview of the current state of research on pseudoisidor .

Fuhrmann was married to a doctor of law. After a serious illness, he died on September 9, 2011 at the age of 86 in Herrsching . He was buried in Steinebach am Wörthsee , where he had lived for decades . In July 2013, a colloquium in honor of Fuhrmann took place at the Historical College in the Kaulbach Villa in Munich. The lecture of Charlemagne, Rome and Aachen. Actus beati Silvestri and Constitutum Constantini as signposts to the Palatinate of Charlemagne were held by Johannes Fried . His estate is in the archive of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica in Munich.

Fuhrmann submitted more than 200 publications. His academic focus was on the Church, the papacy and law in the Middle Ages. In his habilitation thesis he dealt with the origin and effect of the pseudoisidoric decretals from 847/52 , a collection of false papal letters from Anaklet I to Gregory II with consequences in terms of canon law . This work stimulated him to deal with the entire phenomenon of medieval forgeries. With his habilitation, Fuhrmann became an expert in medieval church law. In 1968 Fuhrmann published a critical edition of one of the most famous forgeries of the Middle Ages, the Donation of Constantine , at the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, which is still relevant today. With the Donation of Constantine, one dating from around 800 certificate, the transfer of Rome and the western half of the Roman Empire was Emperor allegedly Constantine to Pope Sylvester I recorded.

The high number of forgeries led to the question of the understanding of truth in the Middle Ages, i.e. the ideal background of the forgeries. In 1962 Fuhrmann gave the lecture The Forgeries in the Middle Ages at the German Historians' Day in Duisburg . He suggested numerous dissertations in this subject area. In September 1986 the MGH organized an international congress with almost 550 participants on counterfeiting in the Middle Ages. Umberto Eco gave the introductory lecture. Fuhrmann himself spoke on the subject of "From the truth of the counterfeiters". The results of the forgery congress were published in five volumes. The large number of participants from East Central Europe was by no means self-evident in the Cold War era . Up to this point in time, a mediaeval congress had never had such a high number of participants. Inspired by the forgery scandal surrounding the Hitler diaries in 1983, Fuhrmann spoke a year later in his closing lecture at the World Historians' Day in Stuttgart on the subject of mundus vult decipi. About people's desire to be deceived, about society's willingness to falsify and cover up. Fuhrmann showed particular sympathy for Ignaz von Döllinger . With him he shared an interest in forgeries in papal history. He dedicated an illustration to Döllinger in 1999.

Fuhrmann also presented an edition of the files of the Synod of Hohenaltheim from 916, the importance of which he illustrated in a separate essay. He dealt intensively with the Popes of the Middle Ages, especially with Gregory VII. He wrote numerous essays on the Gregorian reforms . The first edition of his book From Peter to John Paul II appeared in 1980. The Papacy: Shape and Shape.

In the later years of his life he moved away from the strict interpretation of sources and focused his activities on his native Silesia and on presentations for a wider audience. The biographical was increasingly in the foreground. In a biographically oriented history of science published in 1996, Fuhrmann described the life and working conditions of MGH employees in the 19th and 20th centuries. However , he largely omitted the time of the Reich Institute for Older German History , as the Monumenta were called between 1935 and 1945. The book emerged from a lecture given in 1994 on the 175th anniversary of the MGH. His role models Jacob Burckhardt and Paul Fridolin Kehr were in his biographical work .

In Breslau he discovered the long-lost founding document of Kreuzburg from 1253. Johann Jacob Oeri, Jacob Burckhardt's nephew , had worked as a high school teacher in Kreuzburg from 1868 to 1870 and described Kreuzburg in letters to his Basel relatives. In 1989 Fuhrmann published the book "Far from educated people". A small town in Upper Silesia around 1870 . For this presentation, Fuhrmann processed remote sources such as teacher seminar files or parish registers. Fuhrmann devoted studies to former Kreuzburgers, the historian Joachim Heidenfeld and the painter Boguslaw Jarklowski . He was in personal contact with the writer Heinz Piontek . Piontek wrote a poem for Fuhrmann on his 60th birthday. Fuhrmann published Gustav Freytag's Memoirs in 1995. The Jewish fellow citizen Simon Cohn made the establishment of a grammar school in Kreuzburg possible through a foundation in the 19th century. Fuhrmann took it out of oblivion and examined Cohn thoroughly. For his research on Silesia he was awarded the Upper Silesian Culture Prize of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in 1990 and the Silesian Culture Prize of the State of Lower Saxony in 2003 . Also in 2003 he was awarded a diploma as “Ambassador Kreuzburg at home and abroad” for his scientific work.

Fuhrmann appeared frequently on television, where he brought medieval history to a wide audience. He also pursued this goal with his depictions The Popes. From Peter to Benedict XVI. over two millennia of papal history or an invitation to the Middle Ages (1987). The book Invitation to the Middle Ages became one of the most successful non-fiction books about the Middle Ages and established a profitable collaboration with the CH Beck publishing house . He tried to illustrate the “present of a bygone era” with his representation Everywhere is Middle Ages .

Due to his research achievements, Fuhrmann has been a member of numerous influential scientific organizations and has been honored with numerous awards. He maintained close scientific ties with Italy and the United States. As early as 1966 he became a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Institute of Medieval Canon Law in Berkeley / California . He received honorary doctorates from the University of Tübingen (1981), the Law Faculty of the University of Bologna (1982), Columbia University in New York (1992) and the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies at the University of Toronto (2002). In 1981 he was the first foreigner to be awarded the Premio Cultore di Roma . He was accepted into the Medieval Academy of Ireland in 1983, the British Academy in 1984 and the Medieval Academy of America in 1985 . In Ascoli Piceno , Fuhrmann received the International Prize for Historical Essay Writing in 1990.

In the 1990s, Fuhrmann came up with the plan to convert the Fontium repertory into an Internet publication with constantly updated data. This task was completed a few months after his death. The repertory “Historical Sources of the German Middle Ages” has been accessible in digital form since February 9, 2012. Fuhrmann belonged, among other things, to the commission for the publication of the Middle Latin dictionary of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. Fuhrmann took over the Middle Latin dictionary in a difficult situation; he saved it from being demolished.

In 1986 he received the Great Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany with a star . In the same year he was accepted into the Order Pour le Mérite for Sciences and Arts , where he also served as Vice Chancellor and whose history he published in 1992 for the 150th anniversary. In 1989 Fuhrmann was accepted into the Bavarian Maximilian Order for Art and Science . A year later he was awarded the Bavarian Order of Merit. He was a corresponding member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres . In 1972 he became a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and in 1989 its honorary member. In 1995 he also became a corresponding member of the Saxon Academy in Leipzig. Since 1997 Fuhrmann has been a member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei . From 1975 to 2009 he was chairman of the commission for the repertory Fontium Historiae Medii Aevi , a comprehensive bibliographical directory of narrative medieval historical sources.
