The Hybrid Reformation
Customs of Confession
Practices of Coexistence
A my N elson B urnett . Debating the Sacraments
No debate influenced the internal differentiation of the early Protestant movement as profoundly as the Eucharistic controversy of the 1520s; over the centuries since, few debates have been more thoroughly framed and reframed by confessional and national myths of origin. In Debating the Sacraments, Amy Nelson Burnett seeks to free the study of the Eucharistic controversy from the spurious linearity of these latter-day narratives and from the dram…
Nach der Fehde
How did sixteenth-century nobles respond to the constraints on their autonomy imposed by princes and monarchs? Specifically, how did they interact with the sovereign courts of law that increasingly impeded their right to self-help (feuding) while preserving the status distinction it had expressed? Christian Wieland’s exhaustively researched book is about the judicialisation of conflict, and of social relations generally, as it played out in the b…
Hometown Religion
Konfessionelle Selbst- und Fremdbezeichnungen
The pluralization of Christianity in sixteenth century Europe profoundly destabilized terminologies of religious classification. By the 1520s, the formation of political coalitions around rival theologies, each claiming a monopoly over doctrinal truth and striving to consolidate internally, already encumbered communication across the deepening religious divide. In the Holy Roman Empire, however, not all political necessities strengthened polariza…
Ritual, Religion, and German Home Towns
G erman Home Towns is a very forward-looking book. I say that not because it proved so influential—although it certainly had a profound impact on my generation of historians. My point is more prosaic, namely that German Home Towns occupies a set point in time and social milieu, the inaugural moment of an attenuated phase of stability for a peculiar type of human community in central Europe. That moment, of course, is 1648; the milieu is that of w…
Conversion and the Politics of Religion in Early Modern Germany
The Protestant and Catholic Reformations thrust the nature of conversion into the center of debate and politicking over religion as authorities and subjects imbued religious confession with novel meanings during the early modern era. The volume offers insights into the historicity of the very concept of “conversion.” One widely accepted modern notion of the phenomenon simply expresses denominational change. Yet this concept had no bearing at the …
Alltag reformierter Kirchenleitung
The physical dimensions of this slender volume belie the vastness of its contents—almost all of it encoded on a compact disc holding nearly 1,000 pages, transcribed from the work diary of Johannes Hütterodt (1599–1672), ecclesiastical superintendent for the Rotenburg Quarter, a district situated between the Fulda and Werra rivers in the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel. The longest-serving of Hessen-Kassel’s superintendents, Hütterrodt assumed his o…
Diversity and Dissent
How to Become a Loyalist
On January 21, 1727, several communes in the Nordbrookmerland region of East Frisia, a small principality located on the North Sea coast of Germany and hard by the Dutch border, were granted what amounted to immunity from prosecution for acts of rebellion. How and why this happened is a story that has a great deal to tell about the influence ordinary people could exert, through petitioning, on the practice of state power in early modern Europe. I…
Signatures and Political Culture in Eighteenth-Century Germany
Eyewitness Accounts of the Thirty Years' War 1618-1648
Symbols, Serfdom, and Peasant Factions
The main fault that Hermann Rebel finds with the practitioners of “symbolic actionism” is a tendency to naturalize systems of power and cultural domination and to treat subaltern groups as if they were unable to examine their position in them critically. This tendency in turn causes symbolic actionists to misrecognize self-interested maneuvers within existing systems of domination as counterhegemonic symbolic manipulations. The overall effect of …
Frederick the Great and the Celebrated Case of the Millers Arnold (1770–1779)
What did it mean when an teenth-century monarch intervened in a legal struggle between social unequals, and decided on behalf of the weaker party? How do historians interpret such an event? In the example under examination here—the cause célèbre of the millers Christian and Rosine Arnold in Brandenburg-Prussia (1770–1779)—the dominant opinion of two centuries has been that King Frederick II's intervention violated justice and the rule of law. Exp…

Locating the victim
Nazi persecution of racial victim groups presupposed not only precise legal definitions and close cooperation among multiple governmental agencies, but also sophisticated technical procedures for locating those groups according to complex age, occupational, and racial criteria. This article shows how a variety of administrative tools - including two national censuses, a system of resident registration, and several special racial databases - were …
Serfdom and honour in eighteenth‐century Germany∗
In the July I 783 issue of his monthly Stats-Anzeigen, the Gottingen editor and philosophe A. L. Schlbzer published the angry rebuke of an anonymous 'Osnabruck patriot', who charged that Schldzer had misrepresented Westphalian serfdom as a form of slavery.1 Persuaded that few Westphalian serfs'would demand their personal freedoms', the patriot defended his position with reference to the well-known distinction between serfdom as it existed west an…
Factions and Communities in Early Modern Central Europe
On 12 November 1745, the ad hoc militias of two peasant factions collided near Schmitzingen, a small village in the Black Forest country of Hauenstein, which constituted the southeastern quarter of the Habsburg province of Outer Austria. Several days before, the larger of the two forces had laid siege to Waldshut, the administrative seat of Hauenstein. The smaller band of peasants, recruited from cantons in the north of Hauenstein, had marched th…
