This selection of articles, published for the 50th anniversary of the authors doctorate at GAttingen, opens with studies on his teacher, Percy Ernst Schramm, and his contribution to the study of the medieval state and continues with examples of state symbology from Central Europe. Questions of legitimization and representation of kings and queens through texts and Herrschaftszeichen as well as the development of "coronation studies" are addressed in a comparative framework.

Finally, two pieces present and discuss the "use" or "abuse" of the Middle Ages in the political discourse and display of our times.
