The Vogtland includes parts of today’s German states of Thuringia, Saxony and Bavaria, and part of Bohemia in Czechia. Over a period of centuries the dynasty of the Reeves of Weida, Gera and Plauen left a mark on the region. This copiously illustrated book explores the old domains of the reeves and examines the impact of the Teutonic Order.
The Vogtland is an old cultural landscape that includes parts of today’s German states of Thuringia, Saxony, and Bavaria, as well as an area of the Czech Republic. Over a period of centuries the dynasty of the Reeves of Weida, Gera and Plauen left its mark on the region, developing it economically and culturally on behalf of the Holy Roman Emperor. The Reeves’ Progress traces routes through the largely unresearched territory of late medieval Vogtland. In a topographic journey it explores the old domains of the reeves before drawing the strands together in a thematic treatment. Copiously illustrated, this takes in the estates and churches, religious houses and sacred art of the region, examines the impact of the Teutonic Order, and introduces the reader to key monuments of pre-modern municipal and economic history.
