„Leksykon klasztorów Pomorza” – interdyscyplinarny projekt o średniowiecznych klasztorach, kapitułach, konwentach i komendach w historycznej prowincji Pomorze
“Compendium of Monasteries in Pomerania” – an Interdisciplinary Project on the Monasteries, Secular Clerics, Convents, and Commanderies in the Historical Province of Pomerania

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present an international and interdisciplinary research project that is being undertaken at the Chair of Regional History at the Department of History at Kiel University since 2020. The goal of this project is to process the history of all medieval ecclesiastical institutes in the historical province of Pomerania and to publish it in an encyclopedic work, which in its structure and design is oriented to- wards the “Klosterbücher” already published for other historical regions of Germany. The extensive study on the monasteries of Pomerania, published by the archivist Her- mann Hoogeweg nearly a century ago, remains indispensable to this day, but in the light of numerous historical, art-historical and archaeological researches carried out both in Germany and Poland over the last decades a substantial revision is expedient. In the first stage of the project, all written, art-historical, pictorial, archaeological, and architectural sources for each Pomeranian monastery were compiled and processed by the project team. In the second part now following, these sources will be provided for particular groups of authors, who will prepare the articles for the “Compendium of monasteries in Pomerania”. Besides exhaustive bibliographical references, lists of sources and inventories these entries will contain both general information on the par- ticular institutes (name, affiliation, location, etc.) as well as detailed references on the constitution, the religious activities, the economic system, the possessions and equip- ments, the cultural accomplishments, and so forth. The publication of the two-volume and richly illustrated compendium is planned for 2027.
