Zentralität in der Peripherie: Kirchengebäude als Orte des »Sonderfriedens« in den frühmittelalterlichen leges
Miriam Czock
In the early middle ages, specific protective rights were granted, among others, to church buildings. While legal historians investigating protection of buildings up till now stressed jurisdictional concept a »higher peace«, cultural history has drawn attention concepts sanctuary and immunity. Drawing upon sources spanning from Lex Salica capitularies canon law 9th century, present article argues that peace, immunity are not be understood as rooted in one concept, is generally done, but rather they have different only occasionally come together. Furthermore, I propose an expression taboo related sacral sphere king or sacrality building, instead must seen honor includes spatial dimension can traced back motif ›fear God‹, ultimately guaranteed by law. The thus refer notion churches just cult centres, public protected areas, whose part complex comprehensive effort restrict ‘self-help’. From perspective issue centrality periphery, example clearly shows this opposition completely dissolved because places created, instituted through protection, even at periphery.
