Conference: The Holy Roman Empire / Das Heilige Römische Reich, 1495-1806

30 August - 2 September 2006
New College, Oxford

The Modern European History Research Centre at Oxford University is planning a conference on this topic to be held at New College, Oxford, from 30 August to 2 September 2006, in co-operation with the German Historical Institute and the Austrian Cultural Forum. In some measure it will thus constitute a commemoration of the Empire's dissolution exactly two hundred years earlier; but our main purpose is to assess the current
state of scholarship on important aspects of the later history, through the early modern period, of one of Europe's most enduring political structures, and to set this into a full international context. Such a stock-taking has not previously been attempted in Britain, and a further aim will be to contribute to a better understanding in this country of that era in central-European history. Both plenary and parallel sessions will be held. A session will be dedicated for postgraduates and young scholars to present their papers. We hope the conference will yield a publishable volume of essays. The languages of the conference will be English and German.
