What "idea" does the university follow and what is its mission? These questions, explicitly raised by Karl Jaspers in 1923, 1946 and 1961, remain constantly topical. They must be reflected upon again ...and again in the context of permanent change. The answers focus on the university as a whole and the specific university in each case. The university realises itself in concrete conditions in confrontation with the questions of the time. The book combines a general perspective and specific realisation through contributions from outside and inside (here from the University of Passau). Science, politics, education and business thus enter into a multi-layered dialogue in defining the idea of the university. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Welcher „Idee“ folgt die Universität und welchem Auftrag ist sie verpflichtet? Diese Fragen von Karl Jaspers 1923, 1946 und 1961 ausdrücklich aufgeworfen, bleiben stets aktuell. Sie müssen im Horizont eines permanenten Wandels immer wieder neu reflektiert werden. Die Antworten nehmen die Universität insgesamt und die jeweils konkrete Hochschule in den Blick. Universität realisiert sich in konkreten Bedingungen in Auseinandersetzung mit den Fragen der Zeit. Das Buch verbindet generelle Perspektive und spezielle Umsetzung durch Beiträge von außen und innen (hier aus der Universität Passau). Wissenschaft, Politik, Bildung, Wirtschaft treten somit in der Bestimmung der Idee der Universität in einen vielschichtigen Dialog.

The article explores the beginnings of the rule of Freising bishops in Bayern, south of the Danube River, in Groß-Enzersdorf, in the region called Marchfeld, and their infl uence on religious life in ...the region. The problem in question dates back to Henry II, Holy Roman Emperor, who handed over the ownership of a part of the Sachsengang island (Lat. insula Sahsonaganc), an arm of the Danube near Vienna, to the Benedictine monastery Weihenstephan in a document of 14 November, 1021. Soon, however, the Weihenstephan monastery exchanged the property with the bishopric of Freising, which became the owner the other part of the Sachsengang island and the land goods in this region. The name of the place – Enzinesdorf or Enzeinesdorf – fi rst appeared in a document of 1160 (Urbar; Besitzrechtsverzeichnis). It is worth noting that the Groß prefi x (large or big) was only added later to distinguish between towns of the same name. There is no information regarding the construction of the fi rst chapel in this locality. The Codex Lonsdorfi anus covering books dated 1202/1203, however, mentions a wooden Capella building, which meant a small church at that time. It is assumed that a parish church was erected on the site of this building at a later point. What is also known is that its oldest preserved part goes back to the 13th century. It is important to note that the Groß-Enzersdorf parish is rooted in the parish of Stadlau-Kagran, which covered 23 towns and villages at that time. A reference to a clergyman of Enzersdorf fi rst appeared in 1256. A man named Leopold was indicated as a witness in a dispute between the Freising and Passau dioceses over the right to goods, profi ts and patronage as well as the right to appoint priests to the parish of Probstdorf. Another priest mentioned is the documents is the parish priest named Henry. Interestingly enough, the clergyman appears in the text together with his brother, who served as a crossbowman at the Enzersdorf castle. This would suggest that they came from that town. Bertold von Wehingen, the Freising Bishop, initiated the construction works to expand the church and renovate it in the Gothic style. He also had a defensive wall built. The coat of arms he left behind is still used as the coat of arms of the city. According to the “History” of the parish priest Widenhofer (1833), the parish archives were destroyed (burned) during a Napoleon’s siege in 1809. The reign of the bishops of Freising inspired the development of economic, social and religious life in Enzersdorf. It should also be mentioned that the entire Marchfeld region was under the infl uence of the Freising bishopric in terms of the land management while it remained under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Passau. This led to numerous disputes, traces of which can be found in various documents regarding the place and its religious life.

The collections of Buchlov State Castle include, among other things, a richly decorated late medieval long-sword that can be, based on its overall character, including maker’s marks on its blade, ...reliably interpreted as a so-called magistrate’s sword made around the turn of the 16th century in Passau, Bavaria. This article discusses the nature of its decoration in comparison with other similar preserved Central European magistrates’ swords of Passau provenance, as well as both the practical and symbolic function of these weapons.

A small collection of certificates of Marian sodalities from Austria and South Germany is preserved in the Archives of the Austrian Jesuit Province. These engraved documents were mainly used by ...wandering fellow guild members as passports. They complemented customary guild documents, as they testified to the reliable confessional character of their holder. Though the certificates preserved in Vienna were mostly issued and sealed only in the second half of the 18th century, research has shown that the copperplate matrices that were used are significantly older, partly going back to the third quarter of the 17th century. In an iconographic sense they are rich sources because they show city views and frequently interiors, altars, and liturgical furnishings that no longer exist. The certificates served not only their owners, but also as a pictorial representation of their place of origin and of the actual congregation.
In recent years, the new mobilities caused by the violent conflicts in the Middle East have made the German town of Passau a base for many people from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. This study analyzes ...the effects of refugee movements and migration in the Lower Bavarian town in terms of the concept of the “arrival city” by Saunders. The study is based on findings from participatory observation, conversations with volunteer helpers, students and other residents of Passau, intensive exchange with refugees and a discursive media evaluation. Has urban society experienced any transformations? What kind of changes have occurred both for long-term and new residents, their life worlds, their networks and opinions or to the institutions and structures of the city?
