Geschichtsbilder in Residenzstadten Des Spaten Mittelalters Und Der Fruhen Neuzeit: Prasentationen - Raume - Argumente - Praktiken

The articles in this volume deal from a historical and art-historical perspective with the conception, production and reception of textually, visually and performatively conveyed images of history in residential cities that have so far been neglected by relevant research. The topics dealt with from the perspective of urban and courtly actors include, for example, the original representations in the medieval historiography of German bishops' cities and the importance of humanistic concepts of history for the stately architecture of the 15th century, the perception of Buda as a royal seat in the late Middle Ages and the dynastic-performative functionalization of Monuments in early modern Vienna, the monumental staging of history in Dutch royal cities from the 14th to 16th centuries and the strategies of urban planning in Berlin in the transition from the electoral to the royal residence around 1700.
