Contents:
It is important to address the issue of migration from an international perspective. A German-Italian-Hungarian college has therefore come together for this course.
The aim of the seminar is to analyze selected examples of the importance of migration in church history. Therefore we focus on topics from the High and Late Middle Ages through the Reformation period up to the 18th century. Geographically, a pan-European perspective and a global perspective with regard to the Pietism mission projects are pursued.
The focus of the course will be on working together on written sources. The goal is not only to convey knowledge of the "facts", but also to examine the wide range, frequency and durability of the phenomenon. Furthermore, typical conflicts in the context of migration and the role of the Christian faith and the churches in such processes are to be comprehended and introduced into a critical reflection on the theological foundations of concepts and ideas about foreignness and togetherness in late medieval and early modern Europe.
The following subject areas are planned:
• Beginning: "strangers" in European society of the late Middle Ages and early modern times
• High and late Middle Ages: Migration using the example of Hungary and the German Empire
• Late Middle Ages: Waldensians and Hussites
• Reformation: migration as a factor in the history of the Reformation (focus on Calvinism)
• 16-17th Century: Beginnings of tolerance in the German and Hungarian context
• 16-17th Century: Encounters with political Islam in Hungary
• 17th century: The expulsion of Protestants from France ("Huguenots") and Savoy
• 17th-18th Century: Settlement of ethnic groups with different cultures and confessions in the context of the new establishment of Hungary
• 18th century: Halle, Herrnhut and Hungary / Eastern Europe
• 18th century: The "ecumenical" concept of diaspora and mission in the Moravian Church
