Die Klöster Dobrilugk und Haina in Raum und Zeit (Rechtsräume 2)
von Dennis MajewskiUsing the example of the possessions and rights of the Cistercian monasteries Dobrilugk (today Doberlug-Kirchhain) and Haina, the volume develops the concept of the ‘Rechtslandschaft’ ('legal landscape'). While Haina is located in the ancient Franconian settlement areas, Dobrilugk was founded in the Lower Lusatia in an area that since the 11th century has only gradually been penetrated and developed by the Roman-German Empire´s patterns of order. Through an intensive systematic comparison also based on maps, the perspectives 'space', 'time' and 'actors' were used to illustrate how both monasteries responded to different conditions with similar instruments in order to expand their spheres of influence which cannot be accurately described by terms such as territory or dominion.
