Life

Jürgen Dendorfer passed the Abitur at the grammar school in Straubing. From 1992/93 to 1998 he studied history and German at the Universities of Regensburg, Munich and Vienna. In 1998 the master's degree took place with a thesis on the noble house of the Counts von Sulzbach and in 1999 the state examination for teaching at grammar schools. In Munich, he received his doctorate in 2002 with a thesis on aristocratic group formation based on the example of the Counts of Sulzbach , which was suggested and supervised by Stefan Weinfurter and assessed summa cum laude . The second and third reviewers were Alois Schmid and Ludwig Holzfurtner .

In 2008, he also completed his habilitation in Munich. Dendorfer was a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation . He worked as a research assistant at the University of Heidelberg (1999/2000) and at the University of Munich (LMU) (2001-2004). From 2004 to 2007 Dendorfer was a research associate in the DFG special research area 573 "Pluralization and Authority in the Early Modern Age". In 2006 he was awarded the scientific advancement award of the Stauferstiftung Göppingen. From 2007 to 2008 he was a research assistant at the LMU Munich at Claudia Märtl's chair for the late Middle Ages . This was followed by substitute professorships for Stefan Weinfurter at the University of Heidelberg (winter semester 2008/09) and for Claudia Märtl at the University of Munich (LMU) (summer semester 2009). He then was a visiting lecturer at the German Historical Institute in Rome for a year .

From October 2010 to September 2011 Dendorfer held the chair for Medieval History at the KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. Dendorfer has been teaching at the University of Freiburg since October 2011 as a full professor for medieval history (early and high Middle Ages) and regional history of the German-speaking southwest. He gave his inaugural lecture in Freiburg in July 2012 on the Duchess Hadwig on the Hohentwiel . Dendorfer is a member of the Constance Working Group for Medieval History (since 2015).

Research priorities

His main research interests are the political history of the Early and High Middle Ages, the southern German regional history in the Middle Ages, the history of the nobility, the forms of political and social ties in the High Middle Ages (kinship, friendship and especially feudalism ) as well as the papacy and curia in the 15th century.

With his dissertation he examined the history of the rise to the fall of the Counts of Sulzbach for the first time in 170 years and came to numerous new insights into the regional history of southern Germany and the history of the empire in the 12th century. Dendorfer examined the “exceptional emergence of a single count line at the Late Salian-Early Staufer royal court” not on the basis of an outstanding individual personality, but as the result of aristocratic group formation using the case study of the Counts of Sulzbach. Dendorfers question was "whether and how overlapping family, friendship and lordship ties [...] could condense into a group formation of the nobility beyond the agnatic sex." In the course of the 12th century Dendorfer was able to analyze the relationships of the The counts of the royal court found a clear fluctuation between closeness to and distance from the king. The noble family had its greatest influence under Count Berengar I at the royal court of Heinrich V. Berengar's son, Count Gebhard, was not at the court of Lothar III at all . By analyzing the memoria , Dendorfer was able to illuminate the noble group formation in Bavaria in the 12th century. Using several examples from memorial foundations, he was able to show that the donations were made in an environment of personal relationships with the donor. For the 12th century, "almost exclusively monasteries and monasteries whose bailiffs were associated with the founder as relatives, friends and loyal friends " were chosen .

With Hubertus Seibert , Dendorfer edited an anthology on the early Hohenstaufen in 2005 . History had devoted itself to the time of the Staufer in many ways. Until then, however, the interest in research was less focused on the early days of the dynasty and more on the work of Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa and his sons. In this context, Dendorfer examined the witness lists in the documents of the ruler Heinrich V. The focus was on the Swabian Duke Friedrich II. Together with Roman Deutinger , Dendorfer published the results of a conference on feudal affairs that took place in Munich in 2008. The starting point was Susan Reynolds' criticism of the previous idea of ​​a feudal system in the mid-1990s. The focus of the contributions is on the 12th century. The aim was "to redefine the status of the feudal system within the framework of the organizational configurations of the early and high Middle Ages". Dendorfer dealt with the enfeoffment of bishops with scepter fiefs regulated in the Worms Concordat . In his study he found that from the middle of the 12th century "the feudal system increasingly emerged as a hierarchical concept of order oriented towards the court". Dendorfer showed the ambiguity of the hominium in the 12th century. The term is not only to be understood in a feudal sense, but also as a ritual gesture to affirm the oath of loyalty. Accordingly, a mere mention of a hominium could not be deduced exclusively from a feudal bond. The main result of the conference was that there was no compelling connection between fiefs and vassals in the empire north of the Alps before 1150.

An international conference was held in Munich in 2006 as part of the Collaborative Research Center 573 (Pluralization and Authority in the Early Modern Age). With Claudia Märtl , Dendorfer published these contributions in an anthology in 2008 for the time after the Basel Council . The volume is dedicated to the curial reform discussions after 1450. In 2011 he published a manual on the cardinalate with Ralf Lützelschwab . The time focus is on the years 1049 to 1503. In 2015, Dendorfer published the contributions to a Eichstätt conference held in September 2011 on Bishop Johann von Eych , the history of the diocese in the middle of the 15th century and the early phase of humanism in Eichstätt . The aim of the conference was to “bundle supraregional and regional competence for this key period in Eichstätt's history in the middle of the 15th century in order to take stock of the current state of research and to give impetus for further research”. According to Dendorfer, Eichstätt had become “a hub of the intellectual currents of the century” under Bishop Johann von Eych. In September 2016 in St. Peter in the Black Forest , in the house monastery of the Zähringers , a conference on the Zähringers ("The Zähringers. Rank and rule around 1200") took place. The conference was organized by the Department of Regional History of the History Department of the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, the Alemannisches Institut Freiburg e. V. and the Zähringerzentrum St. Peter association. The contributions were from Dendorfer for the Centennial Year in 2018, 800 years after the death of the last Zähringer Bertold V. issued.
