Heilsbronn Von Der Grundung 1132 Bis 1321

In her study Miriam Montag-Erlwein investigates the entire monastic source material of the Heilsbronn Abbey from 1132 to 1321. This provides information about the connections within the Order, to the University of Paris, about the power structure in Franconia on the basis of relationships to rulers, the Pope and the bishops as well as about the identity-giving and integrative role of the monastery for the nobility and the urban upper class. The study shows the influence of the Heilsbronn Abbey on the cultural area of Franconia.
