Learning from other cities? Interurban exchange from the late medieval to the modern period

The event will Language in Language .

Workshop organized by Dr. Brendan Röder (CAS Researcher in Residence/LMU).

Historians working on a specific city regularly encounter documents exchanged between urban centers – such as guild regulations, ordinances, infrastructural plans or even constitutional documents – but rarely place them at the center of analysis. This workshop does exactly that and focuses on the themes, actors, and functions of exchange between cities across a broad chronological range.

Participants include Edda Frankot (Utrecht), Felix Grollmann (LMU), Christian Manger (Tilburg), Anna Mazanik (Max Weber Stiftung, Bonn), Maarten Prak (Utrecht), Andrew Wells (Kiel).

Brendan Röder is CAS Researcher in Residence during the summer semester 2026.

Registration is required.
