This research project investigates the transformation of Wittenberg between Frederick the Wise’s accession to power in 1486, and the end of Ernestine Rule in 1547.

The exploration of various sources brings insights into the relationship between university, church, citizenry, townscape and expansion of the royal seat. Scriptural, edificial, artistic, and archaeological sources are evaluated. A focus is placed on serial sources like academic disputes, bills of the cities exchequer, electoral bills and electoral official accounts and the ›Gemeine Kasten‹. The Town and Parish Church, the castle, the Augusteum and selected citizen homes are examined with regard to their edificial history, including alterations in the age of the Reformation; archaeological discoveries are examined in relation to the users of each parcel of land.

A broader view on university and city enables new insights into influential actors, institutional and cultural developments: Even before the Reformation, the needs of university and court members and clerks had an impact on everyday life in Wittenberg.
