Live and act

Martina Giese studied biology, history, historical auxiliary sciences and Middle Latin philology at the Universities of Essen , Cologne , Bonn and Munich . From 1991 to 1995 she received a scholarship from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation . From 1996 to 2000 she was a research assistant at the Monumenta Germaniae Historica in Munich. The edition of her Quedlinburg Annals , supervised by Rudolf Schieffer , was accepted as a dissertation in the 1999 summer semester by the Faculty of History and Art Studies at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. Giese has been the specialist editor of the online review journal “ Sehepunkte ” since 2008 .

From October 2009 to June 2010 she was a research assistant at the commission for the repertory “Historical Sources of the German Middle Ages”. From 2010/11 to 2012 she was a research assistant at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf . Giese received his habilitation in the winter semester 2011/12 at the LMU Munich with the Venia legendi for medieval history and historical auxiliary sciences on the subject of the king as a hunter in early and high medieval Europe.

In the 2012/13 winter semester she was visiting professor at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen . In the 2013/14 winter semester, she was the deputy chair for Steffen Patzold in Tübingen . In the winter semester 2014/15 she was a substitute professor at the University of Düsseldorf and in the summer semester 2015 she was a substitute professor at the University of Potsdam. From 2015 Giese taught in the successor of Heinz-Dieter Heimann as professor for the history of the Middle Ages at the University of Potsdam. In December 2016, she was offered a W3 professorship for Medieval History at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University of Greifswald and rejected it. In March 2019 she accepted a call to the W3 professorship for Medieval History and Historical Auxiliary Sciences at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg, which she received in November 2018. She has been teaching there since April 1, 2019. Since 2018 she has been a member of the Constance Working Group for Medieval History .

Her main research interests are the history of education, science and culture, historiography and hagiography, political and church history, regional history of Lower Saxony, source and tradition studies and editing techniques. In her dissertation on the new edition of the Quedlinburg Annals, she added a detailed introduction (pp. 41–380 with 1231 notes), which deals in detail with the history of research and makes the text accessible. Giese came to the conclusion that the Quedlinburg annals were undoubtedly written in Quedlinburg. The year 1008 is the beginning of this writing. The annals were continued in several phases until 1030. Giese is very likely to assume an author. She justifies this with the origin of the Servatiusstift as an "educational center of demonstrably high rank", where the "social as well as the cultural-intellectual milieu [...] was a female, which is why (with basically the same ability for intellectual achievements) rather with a chronicler is to be expected ”. In doing so, she follows a thesis of the authorship of a woman formulated by Käthe Sonnleitner as early as 1988. Giese also worked on the reception of the Quedlinburg annals in medieval and modern texts. With her new edition of the Quedlinburg Annals, Giese closed a research gap that had existed for decades. Already Robert Holtzman called for a new edition of the Quedlinburg Annals eighty years ago.

Giese dealt with the text versions of the biography of Bishop Bernwards von Hildesheim . In her study published in 2006, she describes the genesis of the work and its various text versions. Giese dedicates himself to the history of the text through a systematic analysis of the tradition from the 11th to the 17th century. She was able to identify a total of (at least) 11 different editorial offices, which have been handed down in 28 manuscripts. The main focus of the tradition with at least 17 text witnesses is in the 15th century. According to Giese, "in view of at least eleven editorial offices, one will no longer be able to speak in general terms of the Vita Bernwardi in future, but always have to specify which text version one is referring to". By examining the various versions of the text, Giese is doing important preparatory work for a future edition. The previous edition of Vita Bernwardi by Georg Heinrich Pertz from 1841 is inadequate as far as we know today.
