Title: Die Kreuzzugsbewegung im römisch-deutschen Reich (11.–13. Jahrhundert), ed. Nikolas Jaspert and Stefan Tebruck
Abstract: The academic study of the crusades has witnessed a minor renaissance in Germany in recent years. This is partly due to the efforts of a growing number of crusade scholars to seek out and explore opportunities for research collaboration across divergent fields of humanistic inquiry, and partly to a renewed interest in the crusades’ various ‘home fronts’ among scholars of German regional history (Landesgeschichte). Underlying this renewed interest seems to be not only an acknowledgement that the history of the Staufen dynasty is deeply entangled with that of twelfth- and thirteenth-century crusading (p. 1) but also a recognition that the crusades never ceased to play a prominent role in French national and regional historiography and that their study can offer entirely new insights into the cultural dynamics governing medieval European societies. Plenty of reasons, in other words, for the editors in 2012 to organise a conference on the crusading movement in the Roman-German Reich (11th–13th centuries), which has since resulted in the publication of the present book, edited by Nikolas Jaspert and Stefan Tebruck.
