Scientific focus

The focus of Pätzold's scientific work lies in the Middle Ages. So far he has been interested in topics related to source studies (especially "house tradition" and official registers), aristocratic research (the early Wettins until 1221), the rule of the archbishops of Magdeburg (1368–1403) and individual cities (Magdeburg, Pforzheim, Bochum). He is currently working on aspects of the (regional) history of the Rhine and Ruhr, primarily the history of Bochum and Mülheim, the Counts of the Mark and the Archbishops of Cologne. Together with Felicitas Schmieder , he has been organizing the “Talks on Regional History on the Rhine and Ruhr” at the Hagen Open University since 2015 .
