Burkhard Roberg (1935-2021) deceased

On 12 October 2021, Prof. Dr. Burkhard Roberg, who was closely associated with the research project History of Councils in all the years of his academic activity, passed away in Bonn at the age of 86. Since his dissertation in Bonn, Die Union zwischen der griechischen und der lateinischen Kirche auf dem 2. Konzil von Lyon 1274 im Jahre 1963, he has repeatedly written about this synod, as well as the 1st Council of Lyon. The monograph Das Zweite Konzil von Lyon (1274) in the series Konziliengeschichte in 1990, the edition on Lugdunense II in the Conciliorum Oecumenicorum Generaliumque Decreta, vol. II/1, 2013 and many pubblications in the Annuarium Historiae Conciliorum as well as other journals show this. Since the Council History Symposium in Thessaloniki in 1976 (second from the right in the picture), he has repeatedly presented the results of his research at the meetings of the Society for the History of Councils, as long as his health allowed him to do so. The circle of colleagues in the research project has lost a friend and respected scholar in Burkhard Roberg; future publications on the Lyon Synods will build on his studies.

SYMPOSIUM FOR HISTORY OF COUNCILS, IN DRESDEN, 30.09. - 2.10. 2021

Councils and the World of Monasteries

The symposium on the history of councils with the theme: "Konzilien und die Welt der Klöster" (Councils and the world of monasteries" took place in Dresden from from 30th September to 02nd October 2021; the conference has been organized by the International Society for the History of Councils in cooperation with the Research Center for Comparative History of Religious Orders at the University of Dresden and the Saxon Academy of Sciences under the direction of Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Gert Melville and PD Dr. Mirko Breitenstein. The great importance of monasticism for the councils of the first millennium has been taken into account, as well as the contribution of the religious communities in the second millennium, where at the synods individual monks, but also theological schools that arose within the religious communities, have had great influence on doctrinal and disciplinary decrees. In addition, councils of all epochs have addressed the theological foundation and disciplinary order of religious life. The conference was originally scheduled for September 2020, but had to be postponed for a year due to the coronavirus crisis.
