Ernestine Wittenberg \u2013 the University and the City<\/h4>\n

From 2009 to 2019, the interdisciplinary research project \"Ernestinisches Wittenberg\"<\/a> at the LEUCOREA Foundation concerned itself with the historical development of the Reformation city of Wittenberg. It focussed the transformations brought about by Frederick The Wise\u2019s accession to power in 1486 until the Schmalkaldic War in 1547: to town infrastructure, the Elector\u2019s palace, both ecclesiastic and civic life, and to the university. These changes were studied using text sources which had previously not been evaluated, visual representations, and evidence based in archaeology, art history and architectural history. Research results were published in a series of publications (\u201cWittenberg-Forschungen\u201d) by the Michael Imhof publishing company. The first volume was published in 2011, entitled \u201cDas ernestinische Wittenberg. Universit\u00e4t und Stadt (1486-1547)\u201d (Ernestine Wittenberg. The university and the city). The second volume, \u201cDas ernestinische Wittenberg. Stadt und Bewohner\u201c (Ernestine Wittenberg. The city and its residents), was published as two books in 2013: one text volume and one illustrated volume. The third volume, published in the summer of 2015, presents a detailed and richly documented study on the impact Lucas Cranach the Younger had in Wittenberg. The fourth volume, \"Das ernestinische Wittenberg: Die Leucorea und ihre R\u00e4ume\", dealed with the locations of the universities within the city. The fifth volume focusses on the residence and will be published in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Cultural Impact of the Reformation<\/h4>\n

In an outlook towards the year 2017, the post-graduate school Cultural Impact of the Reformation<\/em> studies interactions between Protestantism and modern culture in a variety of dissertation projects. Particular emphasis is placed on processes of transformation in social life, medicine, jurisprudence, art, philosophy and theology, stimulated by the Reformation since the 16th<\/sup> century. Doctorate students also attend a colloquium where they acquire knowledge on the history of Protestant religiosity and theology, and take part in\u00a0world convention \u00bbCultural Impact of the Reformation\u00ab, which will take place in Wittenberg from 7.-11. August, 2017.<\/p>\n

Research Library \u2013 History of the Reformation<\/h4>\n

The RFB Wittenberg<\/a> brings together the ca. 220,000 items from the extensive book collection in Wittenberg, to concentrate infrastructural and research-related opportunities and to use these synergies to impact the cultural and scientific landscape. Partners in this initiative include the LEUCOREA Foundation, the Luther Memorials Foundation of Saxony-Anhalt, the Protestant Preacher\u2019s Seminary (UEK) and the University and Regional Library of Saxony-Anhalt. The partners are involved at different levels: they contribute their collections to the project, partially subsidize incurring costs for the library\u2019s operation and use, provide support by means of expertise, and assist with improving the online catalogue. Its location in the palace allows the research library to be part of an ensemble of educational, cultural and clerical institutions, which advances Wittenberg as a centre for science and academics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
