history

On the initiative of Rainer Berndt (Hugo von Sankt Viktor Institute, Philosophical-Theological University of Sankt Georgen ), a mediaeval working group was initially set up in 1997 , from which the association was founded on April 20, 2002.

The IGTM has the legal form of a registered association (eV) with its seat in Frankfurt am Main . It has members from twenty countries.

According to the statutes, the IGTM aims to "promote science and research, in particular research into the Middle Ages, with special consideration of the theological aspects of this age in the broadest sense". The society aims at the scientific exchange for the purpose of promoting research and teaching in the field of theological medieval studies and cooperates with other medieval research institutions, societies and associations. It endeavors to promote cooperation between researchers in its own discipline and its sub- disciplines, in particular the history of church and theology and their sub- disciplines (in particular the history of exegesis , the history of spirituality and piety , the history of liturgy , historical canons and sermons research ) and promotes the interdisciplinary exchange with researchers in the other mediaeval disciplines, in particular history , historical auxiliary sciences , the history of philosophy , the history of art , the history of music and the historical linguistic and literary studies .

Both individuals and scientific institutes can become members of the IGTM. Persons and institutes that work scientifically on aspects of theological medieval studies can be accepted as individual members or corporate members. The IGTM is managed by a four-person executive committee, which is elected by the general assembly for three years. Re-election is possible. The chairman of the board of directors represents the company in and out of court.
