Peter Moraw

Peter Moraw (* August 31, 1935 in Moravian Ostrava, Czechoslovakia; † April 8, 2013 in Kleinlinden) was a German historian.

Moraw taught as Professor of Medieval History, German Regional History, and Economic and Social History at the University of Giessen for three decades until his retirement in 2003. His work in the second half of the 20th century considerably influenced German Late Middle Ages research. He is most renowned for his contributions to integrating theory-oriented social sciences and prosopography into medieval research, the turn towards court research oriented towards structural history, and a university history understood as social history. His late medieval volume, ''From an Open Constitution to a Designed Consolidation of the Propylaea'', History of Germany, became a standard work in medieval studies. Provided by Wikipedia
