“…St Stephen's has no such explicit inscription evidence, but in 1450 the town included an elaborated account of the laying of the foundation stone of the north tower in its most important city book, the Große Stadtbuch or Eisenbuch. 122 In fact, the mayor is not mentioned until towards the end of the passage, followed by other figures from the civic hierarchy, but the inclusion of the text in this particular book suggests that it was understood, or claimed, at least in part, as a civic event. In terms of the fabric itself, Tim Juckes has pointed out that when large-scale figures of Rudolf IV and his family that had been made for him in the 1360s were installed high on the church's west front, perhaps in the 1420s, they were given arms including those of the city of Vienna, "introducing a civic perspective" to a cycle which had probably not been intended to have one.…”

The Architecture of Politics and the Politics of Architecture: A Comparative Approach to Parish Church Building and Civic Government in Late-Medieval Europe

Church construction was one of the most challenging, and most political, tasks undertaken by medieval cities. Comparing examples from across Europe reveals profound differences, however, in both the architecture of politics and the politics of architecture; that is, how building projects were administered and how their administration shaped their socio-political significance. Although ranging across the continent, this article is centered on construction in two representative cities: Vienna and London. While the former had a small number of churches, all under the direct control of the mayor and council, the latter had over a hundred, each overseen by locally appointed officers. In Vienna, church construction was, thus, an important field of activity for the city government, which oversaw the work and celebrated its own leadership of the project; in London, it lay outside civic control and offered local opportunities for domination by wealthy families. This difference can be found across the continent, separating the large, old cities of England, northern France, Spain, and the Low Countries, which could have numerous churches, from smaller towns and cities both in these places and across the rest of central, northern, and southern Europe, which typically had a single, major parish church and only a few subordinate ones. This article considers the implications of these two contrasting models—centralized and decentralized, civic and parochial, high government and local politics—on how architectural production functioned as a field of political activity and how church building shaped local distributions and articulations of power in medieval Europe.

This article is a contribution to a better understanding of the role of Sudeten German academic circles to archival education in the Czechoslovak First Republic (1918–1938). It is divided in three parts. The first is dedicated to efforts to establish separate courses in archival science at the German University in Prague, which were intended to function as a counterpart of the Czech Archival School. The second part presents steps taken by the Faculty of Philosophy of the German University whose aim was to introduce at least some subjects that could be used in the education of archivists. The last part then investigates efforts to transfer archival knowledge and skills into the Czech–German border areas using short-term courses in archival science.
