from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Huschner (born August 6, 1954 in Wismar ) is a German historian .

Wolfgang Huschner studied history at the Humboldt University of Berlin (HU). Huschner was a student of Eckhard Müller-Mertens . From 1981 to 1991 Huschner worked as a research assistant. Huschner received his doctorate in 1986 with the thesis Studies on the structure of the empire under Konrad II (1024-1039) . From 1992 to 1998 he worked as a research assistant at the HU. In 2000, he completed his habilitation with the work Transalpine Kommunikation im Mittelalter , supervised by Michael Borgolte . From 2000 to 2001 he was a guest lecturer at the German Historical Institute in Rome. Since 2004 he has been teaching as professor for medieval history at the University of Leipzig . Huschner has been a full member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences since 2007 , was secretary of the philological-historical class from 2012 to 2019 and has been its vice-president since January 1, 2020. He has also been a member of the Historical Commission for Saxony-Anhalt since 2009 , Membre since 2008 and Membre du Bureau of the Comité Internationale des Sciences Historiques, Commission Internationale de Diplomatique since 2010 and a member of the Historical Commission for Mecklenburg since 2013 .

His research interests include the relationships between Italy and Central and Northern Europe in the Early and High Middle Ages, the interactions between Greek and Latin culture in Italy during the Early and High Middle Ages, the diplomacy of early and high medieval rulers' certificates for recipients in Italy, and history Mecklenburg in the late Middle Ages and the history of the Hanseatic League in the southern Baltic region. In his 1000-page habilitation thesis, Huschner examined the transalpine relations between Italy and the East Franconian Empire from a south-north perspective. Until then, research had hardly paid attention to the view of the political-cultural exchange from south to north. He was able to show that the Ottonian-Salian royal documents were not written by notaries of lower social standing, but that incumbent and future bishops and archbishops of northern and southern Alpine provenance were hidden behind them. Huschner was able to identify several of these notaries by comparing the manuscripts, the itinerary and the group of recipients of the documents. So he identified the Italian B with the Italian Arch Chancellor, Bishop Hubert of Parma, the Italian D with Bishop Ambrosius of Bergamo. However, Hartmut Hoffmann then expressed fundamental criticism of the methodology and the results .
