Geschichte in Koeln 67 (2020): Zeitschrift fur Stadt- und Regionalgeschichte

The current edition of the story in Cologne takes a critical look at the latest research results on the person and cult of St. Severin apart, asks about the identity of the Archbishop of Cologne, Hilduin, and sheds light on how the plague was dealt with in late medieval and early modern Cologne. Further articles deal with the benefactors of the Carthusian monastery in Basel, portraits of the abbesses of St. Cacilien, the Cologne collector Baron von Hupsch, the financing of the school system in the 19th century and French prisoner-of-war camps in Cologne after the 1870/71 war. In the 19th century, the articles about the building cooperative led by professors from the new Cologne University, the Bundische Jugend in Cologne, Jewish students at the Deutz secondary school, and the confectionery manufacturer Gebruder Stollwerck AG as a National Socialist model company and women whose employer was the SS. The volume is rounded off by two mishaps on current topics and reviews of recently published books.
