In his portrait of Duke George of Saxony (1471–1539) Christoph Volkmar offers a fresh perspective on the early Reformation in Germany. Long before the Council of Trent, this book traces the origins of Catholic Reform to the very neighborhood of Wittenberg. The Dresden duke, cousin of Frederick the Wise, was one of Luther's most prominent opponents. Not only did he fight the Reformation, he also promoted ideas for renewal of the church. Based on thousands of archival records, many of them considered for the first time, Christoph Volkmar is mapping the church politics of a German prince who used the power of the territorial state to boost Catholic Reform, marking a third way apart from both Luther and Trent. This book was orginally published in German as Reform statt Reformation. Die Kirchenpolitik Herzog Georgs von Sachsen, 1488-1525.

1. Anton Kanz zeigt in seiner Chronik von Tüssen nicht nur den Adel und wie sich Herrschaften über Generationen hinweg behaupten konnten, sondern wir lesen auch von den Sorgen und Nöten der einfacheren Menschen wie den Bauern, denen auch oftmals Auflagen gemacht wurden, die nicht immer einfach zu bewältigen waren. Wir lesen von den Konflikten der Herrschaften von Illereichen und Illertissen im 17. Jh., vom Bauernkrieg etwa im 16. Jh. durchs ganze Illertal, sehr eindrücklich, sogar vom Schwedenkrieg, der auch hier seine Spuren hinterliess, auch wenn die Informationen dazu für den Heimatforscher spärlich zur Verfügung standen.

"Eine Portion Kurzgeschichten" ist ein Lesebuch für Erwachsene. In 15 Geschichten werden die Leser zum Nachdenken angeregt oder zum Schmunzeln gebracht. Manchmal beides.
