Archäologie der Reformation - Studien zu den Auswirkungen des Konfessionswechsels auf die materielle Kultur

The volume addresses the question of the effect the Reformation had on everyday culture, how the people of the 16th century reacted to this revolutionary event and how it shaped their environment – in both the profane and the sacred spheres – to meet the new demands placed on them. This is the first time that German researchers on the Reformation have exploited objects from material culture as a source in their own right for work on the history and after-effects of the Reformation.
