JEV-Research Fellowship Holder 2015: Matthias Meinhardt

Matthias Meinhardt (University Halle-Wittenberg) is receiving this year’s JEV-fellowship for European Administrative History. His project “The Power of the Court Preacher. Career and Politics of the Court Cleric Basilius Sattler in Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel 1569-1624” (see column on the right) combines approaches of a historical biography with the analysis of micro-social processes in order to shed light on the functionality and the rules of politics at the court and in the administration of the principality.
