SUMMARY:The Holy Roman Empire in Modern Historiography: A Collection of Por
 traits
DESCRIPTION:The Holy Roman Empire (HRE\, or simply: the Empire) has been eq
 uated with “A Thousand Years of Europe’s History” (Peter Wilson). It
  has seen both bullish and bearish periods: not only in its history\, whic
 h according to common periodization lasted from 962 CE to 1806 CE\, but al
 so in the historiography dedicated to understanding\, explaining\, and eva
 luating this political entity in the middle of the northwestern fringe of 
 the Eurasian land mass. We seek a better understanding of different perspe
 ctives on the HRE by placing side by side „portraits“ of the Empire as
  shaped by – and\, in turn\, shaping – different historiographical tra
 ditions. \\r\\nWhat do we see\, as viewers and painters of the imperial p
 ortrait? Chaotic Hydra\, legal monstrum or empty glory? \\r\\nThis confer
 ence brings together scholars of medieval\, early modern\, and modern hist
 ory to compare and debate characterizations\, from Spain to Switzerland to
  Scandinavia and beyond.\\r\\nParticipation:If you are interested in joini
