Join us in welcoming Dr Markus Müller (Department of Bavarian History, Ludwig Maxmilian University of Munich) for this week's Research Seminar.
Title: How to translate land diets, land estates and landschaft? The necessary complexity and unnecessary difficulty of German constitutional History in late Middle Ages
Dr Markus Müller is currently a Research Assistant at the Department of Bavarian History, Ludwig Maxmilian University of Munich. He holds a doctorate in Bavarian History from LMU Munich and in 2020 he published a monograph based on his doctoral thesis titled A scholar at the Munich Court. The Diaries of Andreas Felix von Oefele (1706-1780) (Munich Historical Studies 27) (Kallmünz, 2020).
His most recent publication is a volume of essays, Commemoration without borders between Bavaria and Italy. Memorial practice and saint veneration in the pre-modern era (Bavarian regional history and European regional history 4 (St. Ottilien, 2024), edited with Dieter J. Weiß.
Dr Müller has just completed his habilitation project titled ‘Landständische Freiheiten. Negotiation Processes for Continuity and Legitimacy in Bavaria, Salzburg, and Tyrol – 1520 to 1300’ which deconstructs the master narrative of the early modern estates established c.1500 and the 19th and 20th-century research discourses that refer to them, in order to gain insights into the late medieval dynamics of privilege politics and unification, which contributed significantly to the formation of the estates during the 15th century.
All are welcome
