Abstract

This is a review of “Die Preussenreisen des europäischen Adels” (3 volumes) by Prof. Werner Paravicini, a well-known German medievalist. The first volume reflects the history of military campaigns to Lithuania, their duration and names and characteristics of their participants. The second one concentrates on the forms of the Prussian campaigns and their funding. The third volume is concerned with the Prussian campaigns as a form of existence of European aristocracy. By means of subsidiary historical disciplines the historian has reconstructed this mass phenomenon of the late Middle Ages, which can be regarded as an event of the European scope.
