Gemeinschaftsunternehmen Naturforschung
Die Gesellschaft Naturforschender Freunde zu Berlin, im Jahre 1773 als Aufklarungsgesellschaft gegruendet, forderte durch das Sammeln von Naturobjekten und das Wissen darueber die Naturgeschichte als Wissenschaft. Ihr ungewohnlicher Name wurde dabei zum Programm, dem ein moderner, interessegeleiteter Freundschaftsbegriff zu Grunde lag. Zudem zeigt die Gesellschaft viele strukturelle und ideelle Parallelen zur Freimaurerei. Kennzeichen ihrer langjahrigen Geschichte ist die Entwicklung eines Traditionsbewusstseins, das seinen Ursprung im Forschungsziel der Naturgeschichte hat und in der kulturellen Praxis der Gesellschaft nachgewiesen werden kann. Im Unterschied zu anderen naturforschenden Ges...

Pallas Iron
Almost 700 kilograms of the finest iron, mixed with transparent, beautiful crystals! This was the rare and unexpected discovery made in 1771 near the river Jenisei, central Siberia. The German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas - then wintering in the town Krasnoyarsk - was convinced that the mass was a 'product of Nature', and not a leftover from ancient miner's simple kilns. He quickly reported his find to the scientific world, and sent pieces around, which he had chopped off. While the mass is now officially named 'Krasnojarsk', it is often referred to as 'Pallas Iron', or, in Russian 'Pallasovo Zheleso'. It took years of intense debate, however, before its origin in interplanetary space was f...
Predigt, Publikum und Seelenheil
Wie gestaltete sich in der Residenzstadt Berlin im 18. Jahrhundert – der Epoche der Säkularisierung und der Entstehung einer bürgerlichen Kultur – das Handeln lutherischer Geistlicher zwischen Gemeinde und Obrigkeit? Auf breitem Quellenfundament veranschaulicht Florian Grumbach die pastorale Praxis und die Routinen der Amtsarbeit der Geistlichen, etwa ihre Predigten und ihr Publikationsverhalten. Als Akteure im frühneuzeitlichen öffentlichen Leben speisten Pfarrer ihr Standesbewusstsein aus der Rolle als religiöse Experten, Lehrer und dem geistlichen Amt. Die pastorale Praxis dagegen unterlag nicht allein ihrem Zugriff, sondern ebenso den Einflüssen der Gemeindemitglieder und des landesherrlichen Kirchenregiments, die oftmals von der lutherischen Theologie abgekoppelte Erwartungen hegten.
