Research projects of the Academy

In order to reveal and appreciate the broad context of Jaspers' thinking, as it emerges from his published works, his estate, and his numerous correspondences, a complete edition of his works is being compiled, which will make all relevant texts accessible in their context and available as a systematically interconnected whole.

The aim of the commentaries is, on the one hand, to elucidate the texts, which are generally difficult to understand, from all possible perspectives and, on the other hand, where possible, to attempt a reconstruction of the plays and to classify the authors in terms of literary history.

The project aims to link and make accessible the standard-data-based information from HAdW research centers HAdW establishing central interfaces.

The collaborative project between the HAdW, the Mannheim University of Music and Performing Arts, and the Department of Musicology at Heidelberg University investigates continuities and discontinuities in the transition from a court music culture to an urban music culture around 1800.

The task of the research center, which was established in 2005, is to compile a complete and systematic documentation of these stone inscriptions, some of which have only been rediscovered in recent years.

The humanist Philipp Melanchthon was Luther’s most important and closest collaborator in the introduction of the Reformation. His approximately 9,750 surviving letters are fundamental to the study of early modern history.

The research center is compiling a comprehensive dictionary of historical German and West Germanic legal language—from the beginning of written records in late antiquity through the early 19th century.

The mission of the research center is to catalog and publish annotated editions of Latin and German inscriptions from the Middle Ages and the early modern period up to the year 1650 in Baden-Württemberg.
