Jürgen Petersohn (born April 8, 1935 in Merseburg ; † July 20, 2017 in Würzburg ) was a German historian with a focus on medieval history and northeast German regional history .

Petersohn taught from 1981 to 2000 as a professor for medieval history at the Philipps University in Marburg . He stood out primarily with works on the history of political ideas , the history of the papacy and the church, the history of the city of Rome, papal diplomacy in the Quattrocento and the Franconian and above all Pomeranian history. For the Monumenta Germaniae Historica he earned lasting merits as editor of the oldest biography of Otto von Bamberg , the so-called "prüfunginger Vita ".

Life

Petersohn, born in Merseburg in 1935, was the son of a senior official in the Prussian school administration. His father was transferred to Köslin in Pomerania in 1936 . Petersohn spent his childhood and early school years there. The district town near the Baltic Sea had been the residence of the bishops of Kammin for several centuries and had a lasting influence on Petersohn's perception of the world. After the Second World War , the family fled to the West. When he fled, Petersohn was in the fourth year of school. The only book he took the history of the city Koszalin by Fritz Treichel with. The family lived in Coburg , Upper Franconia, from 1946 , where they were accepted by relatives. Petersohn passed the Abitur in 1954 at the Ernestinum Coburg high school. From 1954 to 1960 he studied history, German literature and philosophy at the universities of Würzburg , Marburg (with Heinrich Büttner ) and Bonn (with Helmut Beumann ). In Würzburg he became a member of the Teutonia Würzburg Landsmannschaft . From the summer semester of 1955, he received a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation . In 1959 he received his doctorate in Bonn under Walter Hubatsch with an early modern thesis: Margrave Georg Friedrich of Brandenburg-Ansbach and Bayreuth as Duke in Prussia 1578-1603 . In January 1960, he passed the first state examination for a higher teaching post in the subjects of German and history.

From 1961 to 1964, Petersohn received a grant from the German Research Foundation , and from 1964 to 1970 he was a research assistant at the Department of History at the University of Würzburg. It was Otto Meyer influential as an academic teacher. Under his influence, Petersohn continued to concentrate his research on the Middle Ages. In 1970 he received his habilitation in Würzburg with the study of sacred structure and cult history of the southern Baltic region for medieval history and historical auxiliary sciences . From 1970 to 1972 he was senior assistant at the Institute for History at the University of Würzburg. His academic career was rather slow. At the University of Tübingen from 1971 to 1973 he was a three-semester substitute in the chair vacated by Horst Fuhrmann . In Würzburg he taught from 1975 as an extraordinary professor and from 1978 as an associate professor. An appointment to the University of Tübingen did not materialize in 1976 because the position was canceled.

At the age of 46, Petersohn became Professor of Medieval History at the University of Marburg in 1981, succeeding Helmut Beumann. In the early 1980s, left-wing student groups tried to influence the social issues of their time ( NATO double decision , nuclear power plants and Runway West ) in their favor. For such political and ideological reasons, Petersohn's lectures were boycotted at the instigation of a Marxist group of students. In 1985/86 and 1993/94 he was Dean of the Department of History in Marburg . As an academic teacher, he supervised 16 dissertations, including those by Holger Berwinkel, Otfried Krafft, Jörg Schwarz and Peter Wiegand, as well as the habilitations of Matthias Thumser and Irmgard Fees . It was not until the 1990s that he was able to form a significant group of students.

From 1983 Petersohn was a member and from 1998 to 2001 chairman of the Constance Working Group for Medieval History . As chairman, he took care of the preparations for the fiftieth anniversary planned for 2001. On this occasion he gave the bio-bibliographical documentation of the members and their works as well as the conference proceedings Mediaevalia Augiensia. Research on the history of the Middle Ages . In autumn 1990 and in spring 1991 he initiated conferences for the working group on the island of Reichenau on the subject of "Politics and Adoration of Saints in the High Middle Ages". He published the anthology for this in 1994 as the 42nd volume of lectures and research . For Helmut Beumann, who was a founding member and long-time chairman of the working group, he wrote a detailed obituary in the 43rd special volume of the series of lectures and research published by the Konstanz working group . He also coordinated the Hessian section of the working group in Marburg, Gießen and Frankfurt for almost twenty years.

Petersohn was a member of the Historical Commission for Pomerania (1959), the Society for Franconian History (1968), the Johann Gottfried Herder Research Council (1973) and the Historical Commission for Hesse (1985). In 1991 he became a corresponding member and in 1998 a full member of the Scientific Society at the University of Frankfurt am Main . In 1976 he was awarded the Georg Dehio Culture Prize and in 1988 the Pomeranian Culture Prize. For his 65th birthday he received a festschrift. The anthology deals primarily with problems of the imperial and papacy, the history of Rome, the literature of the Quattrocento as well as constitutional and legal history topics.

In 2000, Petersohn retired from the University of Marburg . Then he submitted seven independent publications. Petersohn remained closely connected with Würzburg not only through his biography but also in his research. He returned there shortly after his retirement. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Würzburg Historical Seminar in 2007, he spoke about Franz Xaver Wegele as the organizer of Würzburg history studies in the 19th century . The following year he published his basic account of Franks in the Middle Ages. Identity and profile in the mirror of consciousness and imagination . His last essay, which appeared in the communications of the Institute for Austrian Historical Research in 2016 , deals with Franz Xaver Wegele and the appointment of Carinthian Matthias Lexer to the University of Würzburg (1868/1869).

Petersohn had been married since December 1964. The marriage produced three sons. Petersohn died on July 20, 2017 at the age of 82 in his home in Würzburg.

Research priorities

Petersohn's research focused on the history of political ideas, the history of education and the church , Rome and the Empire in the High Middle Ages, the regional history of Franconia and north-east Germany, humanism , the missionary work of Pomerania , the history of canonizations and their instrumentalization by the emperors and the conciliar movement in the 15th century Century. His work spanned a wide field, the topics ranged from the Northumbrian uncials of the 8th century to the history of the Prussian class system in the 16th and early 17th centuries and the history of science in the 19th and 20th centuries. The results are published in eighteen monographs and over one hundred articles. Petersohn's scientific beginnings lay in the field of early modern history. Between 1957 and 1963 he wrote about a dozen essays, mainly on Prussian history in the early modern period, the first two of which were written while he was still a student. A six-month research stay in Rome in 1960/61 led to an increasing focus on medieval topics.

National history

Northeast German, especially Pomeranian regional history

Since the early sixties, Petersohn has dedicated himself to the church history of Pomerania in the Middle Ages. With that he turned to the room where he had spent his childhood. His habilitation thesis dealt with the southern Baltic region in the ecclesiastical and political interplay of forces between the empire, Poland and Denmark from the 10th to the 13th centuries. There he examined the origin of the Obodritic and Pomeranian sacred space and dealt with missions, the establishment of dioceses and the development of church structures. The work, published in 1979, became a standard work on Pomeranian missionary history. Petersohn understood the term “sacred space” to mean “that in the southern Baltic Sea area, ecclesiastical sovereign territories were created in a more or less consistent connection with the politically- gentile conditions of the late Slavic period”. He asked about the gradual church development of this area. Petersohn began with explanations about the emergence of a church organization, then he dealt with the bearers of the mission and finally the “legal and cultural content” and the “external models and patterns of early church life”. In the main part of the thesis he examined the “structure and structural forces of the Obodritic” (mainly East Holstein and Mecklenburg) and of the “Pomeranian sacred space in the 12th and 13th centuries”. He was able to show that Henry the Lion is often to be regarded as the "creator of the Obodritic sacred space". In Pomerania the mission began with Bolesław III. Crooked mouth . He had subjugated the country and brought the Bamberg bishop Otto as a missionary into the country. In the second half of the 12th century, Magdeburg shaped the Pomeranian sacred area in cultic terms and made it a "cultic daughter province of Magdeburg". In the final chapter, Petersohn dealt with the question of whether the church patronage had come to the Neusiedel areas with the German eastern settlement. According to his explanations, cultic influences played a subordinate role as a mere accompaniment of simple settlement processes from the imperial areas. According to Rudolf Schieffer , the significance of the work lies in the fact that the author no longer looks at the topic one-sidedly from the point of view of German immigration, but focuses on the political entanglements, above all on the genesis of regional identities through joint veneration of saints in the sacred spaces. In Poland, the study was received faster and more widely than in the Federal Republic.

In 1979, at a conference of the German-Polish Textbook Commission , Petersohn gave an overview of “Pomerania's constitutional relationship with neighboring powers” ​​up to the end of the Middle Ages. The contribution was published in 1980 in the anthology The role of Silesia and Pomerania in the history of German-Polish relations in the Middle Ages and was published in 1987 in Polish translation. In addition, Petersohn published numerous individual studies on the national history and cult history of Pomerania, especially in the 12th century. Using the written sources and archaeological findings, he highlighted the importance of the castle and the urban settlement of Usedom for the Duchy of Pomerania and the church.

Petersohn's research on the history of Pomerania also included Mecklenburg and Holstein . The millennium-related reviews of the year 2000 looked at the politics of Otto III. compared to the Elbe and East Sea Slavic tribes primarily as an exacerbation of the events that led to the act of Gniezno . Petersohn tried to break away from this point of view in an essay published in 2003. He turned his gaze to Otto III. Policy towards the Slavic tribal associations on the Baltic Sea, Oder and Elbe in the previous decade. With the so-called Mecklenburgzug, the privilege for the diocese of Meißen and the massacre of the Slavnikids , he analyzed three examples, especially in 995, i.e. at the beginning of Otto III's independent rule.

Ethnogenesis and self-image of the inhabitants of Franconia in the Middle Ages

Petersohn also wrote studies on the ethnogenesis and self-image of the inhabitants of Franconia , the ethnic unit in the Franconia region known as East Franconia (Franci orientales) in medieval sources . The starting point for his concern with the written sources on Franconia in the early and high Middle Ages was the offer by Andreas Kraus , the contribution Franz-Josef Schmales Education and Science, Latin Literature, Spiritual Movements in the volume Franconia / Swabia from Max Spindler's Handbook of Bavarian History from the 1971 to bring it up to date for a new edition. In 2008, after decades of preoccupation with the subject of Franconia, he published a description of the changes in the term Franconia from the Carolingians to the 16th century, which he dedicated to his academic teacher Otto Meyer . In this study, he not only used source material from onomastics , hagiography , law and other areas, but also linked his findings with current ethnogenetic issues; he asked about “cultural memory” in the sense of Jan Assmann , “in order to be able to contour the identity and profile of a concrete historical unit”. Petersohn divided his presentation into three large time stages. He first explained how the name Franconia developed as a content and concept of consciousness in the early and high Middle Ages (pp. 67–135), and examined the historical background of this development of consciousness (pp. 137–166). Then he turned to the country consciousness that had formed in the late Middle Ages (pp. 187–329). For Petersohn, the third phase is determined by identity problems “on the dawn of modern times” (pp. 331–348). According to his description, Franconia has been recognizable in its contours since the second half of the 8th century, had established itself as a spatial-ethnic unit around the turn of the 9th to the 10th century and began its independent existence in the 10th century. The Franconian region of the Main broke away from the large association of the "inner-German Francia" and its population developed into an independent ethnic entity. The entire presentation is strongly oriented towards the history of Würzburg. According to her, the Franconian consciousness “was not projected uniformly in terms of shape and density onto the space that defined the Franconia at the respective time status. There is a clear distinction between a core area - related to Würzburg - with an early initial phase, strong intensity and high quality imagination and a number of other zones. Petersohn attached great importance to the worship of Kilians . As a result, Würzburg remained “even in the late Middle Ages the center of a cult of saints closely linked to the identity of Franconia”, whose charisma continued to have a “pan-Franconian function”. Petersohn's work is regarded as a fundamental investigation of the concept and conception of Franconia in the Middle Ages and thus of the formation of the historical Franconian landscape. The book was sold out after a short time.

Life and afterlife of Bishop Otto I of Bamberg

Another research focus formed Lives and Afterlife Bishop Otto I of Bamberg , a renowned prelate of the 12th century, the Christianized as a missionary Pomerania. Petersohn dedicated a first special study to him in 1966 on the epithet "Apostolus Pomeranorum". In the 1960s he submitted to the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (MGH) a plan for a new edition of Otto's oldest biography, the so-called "prüfunginger Vita ". This work, which was created in the priory monastery between 1140 and 1146, has only survived in four manuscripts of the magnum legendarium Austriacum, which was created in the late 12th century . Petersohn critically examined the Viten issues published by the Polish side between 1966 and 1974. He presented a first version of his edition of the Prüfinger Vita in Munich at the end of 1988. Due to differences of opinion with the MGH employee delegated for this purpose over details of the design, Petersohn put work on the Prüfinger Vita on hold for years. He only continued work in the mid-1990s. The edition could appear in 1999. Petersohn clarified the stemmatic relationships of dependency for the first time . He was critical of the presumed authorship of Wolfger vonprüfung and a possible identity of the author with the author of the also anonymously handed down Vita Theogeri Mettensis . He attributed the remarkable number of variants of the version of Zwettler manuscript No. 24 to the scribe's dyslexia .

Petersohn examined the content and structure of theprüfungingen vita of the bishop of Bamberg. He came to the conclusion that Otto's “relationship to emperors and princes and his role within the imperial and universal church” are ignored. Instead, liturgical regulations, contemplation , Otto's organizational achievements in the monastic and diocesan area as well as his missionary work are described in detail. In 2011 Petersohn published another article on the tradition of the Otto Viten. Due to his age and increasing health problems, he had to give up his intention to edit the other vitae as well.

The canonized Bishop Otto was also the cornerstone for studies on mission, cult and the church in medieval Pomerania . Based on documents from the Vatican, Petersohn was able to prove that Hennig Iwen , Bishop of Kammin , who initially sympathized with the Basel Council in the dispute over conciliarism , went to the papal side in 1447 to assert his position in the dispute with Kolberg . For decades, Petersohn also dealt with the Kamminer bishops . After small individual studies, he took part in the volumes of the bishops of the Holy Roman Empire published by Erwin Gatz with the portrayals of life for the diocese of Kammin. In 2015, Petersohn published a description of the Kamminer bishops, which dealt with Adalbert and his 31 successors until 1556.

Politics and adoration of saints

In 1959, at a meeting of the Historical Commission for Pomerania in Hanover, Petersohn presented methodical considerations on the question of how one can come to reliable results in the field of medieval saint veneration in Pomerania. He continued his research on the subjects of veneration of saints, cults of relics and patronage in further studies that extend far beyond Pomerania. In October 1990 and March 1991, he organized two international and interdisciplinary conferences of the Constance working group on the island of Reichenau on the subject of "Politics and Adoration of Saints in the High Middle Ages". The results were documented in the 42nd volume of lectures and research in 17 articles. The contributions by experts from Germany, England, Italy, Poland and Hungary deal with the problem of public veneration of saints in the Middle Ages in a pan-European context. Petersohn himself dealt with the empire and cult in the Staufer period in his contribution. He also wrote the résumé. With a view to open fields of work, he pointed out that future research should take into account, among other things, a “typology of city patrons in the Middle Ages”.

History of Rome and the high medieval empire

Petersohn dealt with the history of Rome for decades. Since the beginning of the sixties he worked at the German Historical Institute in Rome and opened up unprinted source material in the Vatican Archives and the Vatican Library . From 1974 he published numerous and fundamental articles on Rome and the empire in the Salian and Staufer epochs. His study, published in 1974 on the Treaty of the Roman Senate with Pope Clement III, concluded in 1188, became fundamental .

In September 1997 a scientific congress was held on the Wartburg on the counter-king Heinrich Raspe . There Petersohn gave a lecture, where he dealt with the only surviving gold bull of this opposing king. The lecture was printed separately.

Petersohn also examined a letter from the Romans to King Lothar III. of May 18, 1130. After the death of Pope Honorius III. a schismatic papal election had come about , from which two rival popes emerged, Innocent II and Anaclet II . With the letter, the Romans asked the king to recognize Anaclet II as the rightful Pope. Before Petersohn's work, writing had received little attention in research, especially since there was no text output. Petersohn recognized the importance of the letter as a source for the social and constitutional history of the city of Rome in the first third of the 12th century and for the self-image of the Romans. He clarified the route of transmission and presented an edition of the text. He wanted to create the basis for further research.

Petersohn spoke out against the hypothesis of Johannes Fried , according to which Henry the Lion got to know the bronze figure of the Tusculans in Rome in 1155 - together with Friedrich Barbarossa or alone - and thus this could be considered as a model for the Brunswick lion . He asserted that there was no evidence or evidence of a visit by the Duke to Rome, which gave him the opportunity to visit the Lupa Capitolina .

In 2009 Petersohn published a study on the role of Rome for Henry V and the importance of the reign of Salier for the development of imperial-urban Roman relations. As the sum of his decades of research, the study Kaisertum und Rome in the Late Salian and Staufer Era was published in 2010 . The subject of the work is the comprehensive interactions between the idea of ​​Rome and politics in the struggle between the emperor, the pope and the urban commune in the period mentioned. Petersohn asked at what point in time - apart from occasional contacts (imperial coronation, papal deposition or deposition) - long-term relationships came about, which included “mutual recognition and a minimum of trust” and “were based on common interests [...] ". Petersohn saw Heinrich V as the initiator of the imperial Rome policy . Through his "political cooperation with the representatives of the urban striving for autonomy [...] Heinrich created a triple constellation of Roman powers - commune, emperor, pope -" whose interactions determined the political game for the coming decades: Heinrich's self-portrayal as Emperor of Rome stands In accordance with his efforts, in contradiction to the attempts of the Gregorian papacy to limit the legitimation of the German ruler to the northern alpine regnum Teutonicum , by adopting the title rex Romanorum and the implementation of the imperial title Romanum imperium the Roman qualification of his monarchical office is obvious and to be permanently anchored ". Petersohn made a change in the Rome idea under Conrad III. out. The Romans offered the Staufer the imperial crown from their hands. This was the occasion from which at the time of Konrad III. "For the first time since the days of Henry V, the German monarchy made Rome the subject of his political considerations and plans." The development of the Emperor-Rome relationship and the Rome idea was determined in the period that followed by breaks and new approaches. The time of Friedrich Barbarossa occupies a large space in the representation with twelve chapters . For him, Roman sovereignty and imperial dignity were inseparable, while for Henry VI. Rome was only "a minor factor in his interests".

Andreas Jamometić's attempt at the Basel Council and the reactions of the Emperor and Pope

In 1974, at the German Historians' Day, Petersohn proposed at a working session of the late Middle Ages personal research section to define prosopography as the “collection and listing of all persons in a space and time defined circle of life”. In contrast to earlier epochs, prosopographical research for the late Middle Ages had to sift through and evaluate it in advance. For Petersohn, this resulted in an "interaction between method and factual topic in every individual examination". Its definition is widely quoted to this day. With the biographical and personal history approach, he tried to answer numerous questions about the late medieval imperial and papal history.

During Petersohn's regular archive visits to Italy and the Vatican, the papal diplomat Angelo Geraldini and the rebellious Croatian Archbishop Andreas Jamometić were always in the spotlight. Since 1979/80, with the support of the German Research Foundation, he has been collecting material on Jamometić in Basel and its surroundings on the Upper Rhine as well as in Innsbruck, Vienna, Venice and Florence, in particular on his attempt to revive the Basel Council in 1482 and on the reactions of the Emperor and Pope on this initiative. In later years he continued this research, especially in Rome ( Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana , Archivio Segreto Vaticano ) and Milan as well as in numerous smaller archives and libraries in Italy. In this context, he published a biography of Geraldini in 1985, which was followed by an edition of relevant sources in 1987. Petersohn became aware of Geraldini, who died in 1486, because the diplomat, as bishop, administered the diocese of Kammin from 1482 to 1485 and from 1482 worked on behalf of Pope Sixtus IV in Basel to ward off Jamometić's conciliarist activities. According to Petersohn, Geraldini was "not one of the greats of his century", but his biography can serve "as the key to understanding a more comprehensive structure". The fact that the Medievalist from Marburg decided to present the material in the form of a biography appeared to be out of date in view of the then orientation of historical studies on socio-economic structures. The tradition for Geraldini is widely spread across Europe and very extensive. Petersohn analyzed holdings in at least 24 archives for his biography. For the first time, he opened up unprinted sources from Italian, French, Swiss, Austrian and German archives. The work is considered to be an important contribution to the history of conciliarism, universities and humanism of the 15th century. In the follow-up work published in 1987, Petersohn edited seven documents by Angelo Geraldini addressed to Pope Sixtus IV and the College of Cardinals from September 1482 to July 1483, which are related to the suppression of the attempt at the Council of Andreas Jamometić. Finally, in 2004, Petersohn published a description of Andreas Jamometić himself, including a critical edition of 18 previously unprinted sources from the years 1479 to 1484. It is considered to be an important preliminary work for a biography of the archbishop and imperial diplomat, who became known primarily through the failed attempt at the Council of Basel in 1482 . Petersohn dealt with a "biographical section of a controversial personality from the last third of the 15th century", mainly from the perspective of diplomacy history.

The political interests and goals of Emperor Friedrich III. and Pope Sixtus IV. Petersohn worked out two documents. He compared Friedrich's Promemoria from 1479 and an instruction for the Legation of Laibach Provost Peter Knauer in terms of content and worked out differences that allow conclusions to be drawn about Friedrich's curia policy. After numerous essays, in 2015 he published the monograph Reich Law versus Church Law . The focus of the work is the dispute between the emperor and the pope about which of them was responsible for the criminal court over the initiator of the attempted Basel council. An extradition request from Sixtus IV led to the "last great emperor-pope dispute of the Middle Ages". The controversy remained largely hidden from contemporaries and modern research, as it was conducted away from the public and "the routine relationships between the two institutions continued undisturbed". In the spring of 1484, Sixtus showed willingness to renounce the extradition and made the concession that proceedings would be conducted by papal representatives in Basel. Due to the Pope's death and Jamometić's suicide shortly afterwards, the dispute became irrelevant that same year. The conflict is significant for the image of the historiography of Friedrich III., Who was for a long time regarded as the “arch-cape of the empire”. According to Petersohn's research, “Friedrich III. [...] the first - and at the same time the only one! - German ruler who justified the transfer of a spiritual delinquent to the papal authority and successfully refused ”. The analysis of the dispute over the Basel Council delinquent shows that "Friedrich was not only determined, but quite able to politically assert his monarchical self-image in an extremely exaggerated sovereignty dispute against the papal authority". "What is now visible is [...] the image of a person with an albeit difficult to access, individual and differentiated mental situation, shaped by wounds and injuries as well as the tenacious will to unconditional self-assertion." According to Jörg Schwarz (2017), it is "Currently the best characteristic of Emperor Friedrich III." In the second part of the work, Petersohn presented an edition of 66 previously unprinted documents from the period from May 4, 1482 to July 9, 1484 on the conflict described.

Barbarossa's policy of domination

Another focus was Friedrich Barbarossa's rule of law in Germany and Italy. At a Reichenau conference in autumn 1989, Petersohn tried to counter the difficulties encountered in medieval research in identifying the emperor's personal share in political events with a proposal for a definition. According to his interpretation, Friedrich Barbarossa is to be understood as a “cipher”. His name stands as an abbreviation “for the cause of all political statements, measures and objectives” that the sources associate with him and behind which “even if the decision-making and execution were collective and anonymous, but usually the initiative and responsible will of the emperor stood should have ”.

Royal insignia and ceremonial rulers

For a long time, the use of imperial insignia was the central criterion for a “real” coronation in historical studies . In the early 1990s, Petersohn exposed this attribution of meaning as a “research stereotype”. For his study he relied on a comprehensive compilation by Albert Huyskens . In the case of controversial royal coronations (1198 or 1314), according to Petersohn's analysis of the sources, it was not the coronation insignia, such as the imperial crown , but the correct coronation place and the right consecrator that were decisive. The possession of the imperial insignia and imperial relics, however, offered “a legitimation of its own kind”, just not at the beginning of the rule. They symbolized a general claim to the regnum for their owner and affirmed the right to exercise royal rule in the empire. However, in the opinion of contemporaries, “the power of the imperial insignia to guarantee rule remained in the run-up to binding legal principles”. With the use of the imperial insignia, it was possible to appeal “on an irrational level of understanding to group mentalities and political feelings of belonging”. Petersohn presented further treatises on imperial insignia and their significance in the medieval empire. In his study of the deposition of kings in the German Middle Ages, Ernst Schubert (2005) was able to confirm Petersohn's research, according to which the imperial insignia by far did not have the constitutional importance that was given to it by older research.

History of Medieval Research

Petersohn also dealt with research on the Middle Ages in the 19th and 20th centuries from the perspective of the history of science. On a broad basis of material, he examined the effects of the emigration of Jewish and politically unpopular Medievalists after 1933 on the fields of historical studies in the narrower sense, legal history and humanism research with the help of twenty specialist representatives. In Germany and Austria, questions related to the constitution and social history took hold after 1933. In contrast to this, the emigrated Medievalists in exile, with their predominantly spiritual and intellectual history orientation in connection with questions relating to the history of the church and theology, established numerous future-oriented research approaches and methodical innovations. Even after the end of National Socialist rule, these innovations only had a limited influence on German research. Research on the history of ideas and the history of German ideas in German-speaking Medieval Studies of the 20th century did not reach its peak in their homeland, but in Anglo-American exile. The consequences of this development can still be felt today.

In addition, Petersohn dealt with a letter from Otto Meyer dated October 2, 1938 to Edmund Ernst Stengel , the then President of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica . The subject of the letter is Meyer's first draft of his obituary for Ulrich Stutz, who died on July 6, 1938 . Meyer had referred to an anti-Semitic criticism by Paul Kehr of Harry Bresslau from 1935 and pointed out Stutz's salvation of honor for Bresslau to Kehr as a characteristic trait typical of the deceased's disposition. In the obituary published by Meyer in the German Archives in 1938, however, this passage is missing.

Memoria and princely self-image in the high Middle Ages

Further research concerned memoria and princely self-image in the High Middle Ages . Petersohn dedicated himself to the previously unexplored memoria of the Pomeranian noble family of the Griffins in the 12th and early 13th centuries. In a contribution published in 1992, he dated the necrological notes in Codex 5 of the Aschaffenburg court library to 1297 at the earliest. He regarded them as testimony to the personal commemoration of prayer that Gertrud von Altenberg dedicated to her mother, Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia .

Petersohn's transfer of questions from memoria research to the noble family of the Ludowingers , who rose to the rank of Landgrave in Thuringia in 1131 , opened the way for new perspectives on their self-image. He discussed the question of the peculiarity and the self-image of the Ludowingers on the basis of four points: formation and territorial roots, self-image after acquiring the title of landgrave, lines of tradition and breaks in tradition as well as used and wasted opportunities for the dynastic self-image. Petersohn worked out a break in tradition in the Ludowingian self-image of Hermann I (1190–1217), which is evident, for example, in the choice of his burial place and thus in the design of his memoria. In this area, the last Ludowinger Heinrich Raspe broke even more strongly with the tradition of the family than his father Hermann. The memory of St. Elisabeth did not have an integrating effect on the Ludowingians' sense of identity. Neither an altar consecration nor a church foundation has come down to us from the landgraves for Elisabeth. In another study, Petersohn examined the font De ortu principum Thuringie and came to the conclusion that it was an independent work, the aim of which was to show the Ludowingians' path to landgrave status. The depiction was probably written around 1180 by a Reinhardsbrunn monk.
