Die Untersuchung widmet sich der Administration auf landesherrlicher Ebene sowie vor Ort durch lokale und zentrale Amtstrager. Zudem werden die Situation der Lehrer und Stipendiaten in den Klosterschulen sowie die Lehrinhalte und Unterrichtsgestaltung betrachtet. Aufbauend auf der Prosopografie uberpruft die kollektivbiografische Auswertung der Lehrer und Stipendiaten, inwiefern die Einrichtungen ihren Auftrag erfullten und zur Bildungselite des Furstentums beitrugen.


In 1568 with the introduction of the Reformation, Protestant monastery schools opened in the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbuttel. They should prepare talented boys for church and secular ministry. By means of a comparative perspective, these schools are being comprehensively analysed for the first time. The investigation focuses the administration by local and central officials at sovereign level and on site. In addition, the situation of the teachers and scholars in the monastery schools as well as the teaching contents and the formation of the lessons are considered. Based on the prosopography, the collective biographical evaluation of the teachers and scholars examines, in which way these schools fulfilled their mission and contributed to the educated elite of the Principality.
