Welcome to the homepage of the Chair of Medieval History!

On the following pages you will find all the important information about Medieval History at the University of Bayreuth.

Currently, I would like to draw your attention to episode #20: “Die Kreuzzüge” in the podcast series “Wer wir sind und warum das nicht klappte...” by Jan Schulte-Kellinghaus (available in German only).

At the University of Bayreuth, please note especially the English-language master's program in Global History, the supplementary program in Intersectionality Studies and Diversity Competencies, and the Doctoral College for Intersectionality Studies (PK 053), funded by the Hans Böckler Foundation.

In the context of research, please note especially the book series “Global Histories before Globalization” (Routledge) and “Transcultural Medieval Studies” (Brepols).
