Lorenz Maier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lorenz Maier (* in the 20th century) is a German historian and retired high school teacher who is also active in teacher training. He publishes on the Bavarian state history , in particular on the founding phase of the city of Munich and the regional history of salt mining and salt trade .

Maier received his doctorate from the University of Munich in 1988 with a thesis on the early history of Munich supervised by Karl Bosl . From 1992 to 1996 he was employed at the House of Bavarian History in Augsburg, where he designed the exhibitions Dukes and Saints (1993 in Andechs) and Salt Power History (1995 in Bad Reichenhall, among others) and compiled a bibliography by Karl Bosl. Maier is Director of Studies out of service (retired). He was a seminar teacher for trainee students at the Maria-Theresia-Gymnasium in Munich . and state adviser for high school seminars in history at the Bavarian State Institute for School Quality and Educational Research .

Maier's contributions to the early history of the city of Munich are fundamental. The historian Georg Schwaiger emphasizes that "[th] ically through a critical examination of the current hypotheses and a new, comprehensive investigation of the sources", Maier was able to "noticeably clear the darkness of the early history of Munich and its surroundings" in his dissertation published in 1989. Maier wrote the part on early history for Richard Bauer's History of the City of Munich in 1992, which Bernd Roeck described as "currently the best and most illuminating reflection of the state of research". His last contribution to this, an extensive article from 2008 on the "Origin of the forum Munichen", has also been received in research; Rudolf Schieffer describes Maier's theses of a particularly early market development in what will later be Munich, however, as "quite hypothetical considerations."

In 1998 Maier gave the important band Die Welfen. Regional historical aspects of their rule , based on a meeting of the Memmingen Forum for Swabian Regional History in November 1991, which gave Guelph research “new impulses”. Maier provided the “concise” summary of the individual presentations in the introduction.

Maier also wrote a number of articles for Bosl's Bavarian biography . He appears as an expert on the early history of Munich and researches regional history, including the “ Oberland Salzweg”.
