life and work

Sabine Schmolinsky studied German, history and social studies at the Universities of Münster and Munich . At the University of Munich she was a research assistant with teaching duties at the Institute for German Philology. In the winter semester of 1987/88 she did her doctorate in Munich with Hans Fromm with a study on the early reception of Joachim von Fiore in Germany. In Munich she was involved in a DFG project on manuscript cataloging.

Schmolinsky completed his habilitation in the fields of medieval history and historical auxiliary sciences at the Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg with a thesis on personal reports in the European Middle Ages. Schmolinsky was a substitute for the Chair of Medieval History at the Helmut Schmidt University. Since 2009 she has been teaching as a professor for medieval history, majoring in European history at the University of Erfurt. In autumn 2019 she was elected dean of the Philosophical Faculty in Erfurt.

Her main research interests are the history of the political and social order, self-testimony, biography, historiography, the history of the perception of time and space, the cultural history of the religious, the gender history and the history of handwritten tradition. In her dissertation she examined the apocalypse commentary by the north German Franciscan lay brother Alexander Minorita. In the German-speaking area, Schmolinsky was particularly prominent in medieval self-testimony research. In 1999, the anthology "Das darierter Ich", edited together with Klaus Arnold and Urs Martin Zahnd, was published. In her post-doctoral thesis, published in 2012, Writing in the Middle Ages , she wants to give shape to mediaeval research on self-testimony by developing sustainable terms. She wants to empirically explore the terms “in selected cases whose places and contexts are and should be different in time and space”.

She is co-editor of the series Self-testimonies from the Middle Ages and the beginning of the modern age . She is a member of the Medieval Association , the Historical Commission for Thuringia , the Association of Historians of Germany , the Working Group on Historical Women and Gender Studies , the German University Association , the Association for the History and Archeology of Erfurt and the Oswald von Wolkenstein Society .

Schmolinsky was in 2019 awarded the Communication Award for KAIROS special commitment to gender and equal opportunities, including for their nearly ten years as an equal opportunities officer of the University, in which it had initiated a cultural change in the university.
