AGATE

The aim of this research project is to work on the Reichstage from 1532 - 1555, i.e. to index and record, edit and publish the relevant, widely scattered archive material, in order to make a source of central importance for the German and European history of the epoch of Emperor Charles V and the Reformation usable. In addition to its value for the study of general and political history, the edition of the Reichstag files has gained new topicality under the changing issues of research on the system of estates as well as constitutional, social and economic history.
