Bohlau Verlag Die Synodalstatuten der Kolner Kirche im Spatmittelalter 1261-1513
Book SynopsisThe statutes published by the archbishops of Cologne and their representatives at synods or shortly thereafter conveyed to the clergy and lay people in their diocese the canonical regulations issued by the popes and general councils in a form adapted to their horizon of understanding and the regional circumstances. In addition to the provisions drawn from the decretals and canons, the synodal statutes also contain instructions on special problems and concerns of the Cologne Church, such as the construction of the cathedral, the turmoil in times of the plague or the appearance of sectarian groups. This special property also includes privileges, mandates and deeds of various content that are included in the statutes and supplement their provisions. This edition is based on the evaluation of all known manuscripts of the statutes and relevant early publications. The texts follow the description of the variants of the most reliable transmission. As far as content and textual criticism are concerned, the edition therefore goes far beyond all previous prints of the Cologne synodal statutes and offers a new basis for their use and research.

Book SynopsisWaldfeucht, the place to which no. 106 of the Rhenish town atlas is dedicated, was first mentioned in 1240 and, as a result of further development, was designated as a town in 1350. In addition to the two masonry gates, Waldfeucht was surrounded by water-filled ditches and hedged ramparts. From 1499 the place belonged to the Duchy of Jülich. In 1816 the Mairie Waldfeucht became the mayor''s office and in 1935 the Waldfeucht office was formed with the towns of Braunsrath, Haaren and Saeffelen. In 1972 the new municipality of Waldfeucht was founded. After Waldfeucht, a pilgrimage to St. Rochus. In this way, the place developed into a religious and administrative center that led to the settlement of craftsmen. A market and craftsmen are mentioned as early as 1277. Linen and velvet weaving was also carried out in Waldfeucht up until the 19th century. Due to the lack of a railway connection, industrialization could hardly gain a foothold.

Bohlau Verlag Die Gesellschaft fur Rheinische Geschichtskunde
Book SynopsisThe Society for Rhenish History was founded in 1881. In view of the increasing nationalism in the German Empire, her work was subject to tension for decades, which was considerably increased by the affinity of large sections of the population in the region for Catholicism and liberalism. This explains the efforts of those involved at the time to contribute equally to illuminating regional and fatherland history by publishing sources without taking political or ideological partisanship. This self-commitment, which grew out of the tradition of the society to work on the usually archival records, has now lasted for more than 140 years. Society has always been the object and mirror of scientific booms and networks, political systems and socio-economic upheavals. In this light, this book describes the history of the society, especially with regard to its institutional development: The focus is on the academic and civic supporters or members of the society, its organization and its position in the state and province. The political and social framework conditions are also highlighted: the imperial and Weimar era, the behavior of society towards the folk history propagated under National Socialism and finally the reorientation of their work after the dissolution of the Prussian Rhine province in the post-war period. The editorial preparation of the manuscript, which was kept until 1980, was carried out by Prof. Dr. Stephan Laux (Professorship for Historical Regional Studies at the University of Trier).
