By giving an overview of a section of an epoch as well as of a selected topic from politics, culture, econ-omy and society, the lecture gives an introduction to medieval history. In the seminar, through a concrete theme, students will practice skills, independently work on questions, and answer them in a methodically and subject-appropriate manner. In source-based exercises, the principles of source criticism as well as handling of different medieval source types will be practiced. The students should gain insight into historical auxiliary sciences (such as palaeography, diplomacy, sphragistics, chronology, etc.) in order to become qualified to work with medie-val sources.

The students write a review (4,000-5,000 characters) of the se-lected work with consideration to the selected related articles/reviews. The monograph that is the focus of the reading must:

• Make an outstanding contribution to research, engage in an intensive debate within the discipline, or develop a new topic.

• The module enables intensive debate with a monograph in its entirety and is therefore compli-mentary to the selective evaluation of sources and literature, as practiced in the other modules.
