Timeline

1933

Peter Herde (Born 5 February 1933) is a German historian.

His research activities range from fundamental work on papal diplomatics of the Middle Ages to the history of the country up to the Second World War.

Herd was born in 1933 in Racibórz, Upper Silesia.

He was the son of deputy headmaster Reinhard Herde and Hildegard Herde.

He spent his childhood and the first years of his youth in Ratibor.

The family fled from the Red Army at the end of January 1945 and found their new home in Arnsberg.

1953

In Neheim-Hüsten he passed his Abitur in 1953.

In the summer semester of 1953 he began studying physics and mathematics at the University of Heidelberg.

Fritz Ernst aroused Herde's interest in history through his lectures.

1954

In 1954 Herde went to the University of Munich to study history, German and English literature.

Through Friedrich Baethgen, Herde turned to the history of the pope and the empire of the late Middle Ages.

Bernhard Bischoff gave him an understanding of palaeography, the history of Medieval Latin literature and Manuscript Studies.

1958

In 1958, under the supervision of Peter Acht, he was awarded a doctorate in philosophy in Munich with the thesis Contributions to papal chancery and documents in the 13th century.

The dissertation became a standard in the history of the papal chancellery and diplomacy.

1960

From 1960 to 1962 he worked at the German Historical Institute in Rome.

The director Walther Holtzmann exerted a great influence on him.

The work appeared in 1967 in a second, considerably extended edition.

One year after his doctorate, Herde's first scientific essay Gestaltung und Krisis christlich-jüdischen Verhältnisses in Regensburg am Ende des Mittelalters was published.

The essay was a result of his work on the edition of the documents and records on the history of the Jews in Regensburg.

The work was published in 1967 in a second improved and extended edition and became a standard work of papal diplomacy of the 13th century.

With the edition and investigation of the formula books of the Audientia litterarum contradictarum he published a two-volume and almost 1400-page Munich habilitation thesis.

The work was methodologically innovative, since Herde linked questions of document science and canonism.

About Charles I of Anjou Herde published an extensive article in the Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani.
