When in 2018 the mining of coal stops in Germany an epoch will come to an end whose importance for the history of Europe over the last 250 years can not be overstated. In Germany and all over Europe this souce of energy decisively shaped the areas of politics, economics, society and culture; it left deep marks in everyday life as as well as in high culture and brought about massive interventions in nature and the environment of which the increase in CO2 currently is the most pressing. The importance of coal, therefore, goes far beyond providing a convenient source a energy - as the project resp. the book will show.An impressive number of publications on various aspects of coal mining for the different European countries already exists. However, general surveys are rare, inspite of the multi-volume anthologies covering Great Britain and Germany which will be completed within the next year or two. There are no such surveys for other European countries, and this holds especially true for a European history of coal. This situation is regrettable since the age of coal can only be understood in a wider European context. It is the aim of the project to write such a monograph, drawing upon the literature that is already available. In doing so, this monograph will try to offer more than a summary - although this in itself is quite a challenge. The project will go beyond the established fields of research and incorporate recent publications dealing with gender, materiality and environmental consequences of coal mining. These publications offer new insights, but so far their number is fairly small and they cover only some regions resp. countries. As a consequence, the project will link these findings and put them in a wider temporal, territorial und comparative resp. transnational perspective. Special emphasis will be given to the debate about the 'Great Divergence' which offers the opportunity to place developments in Europe into a global context. Finally, the thesis of whether we can sepak of a 'Carbon Democracy' will also be discussed.In addition to existing literature the project will also be based on the wide ranging research undertaken by the applicant. I started my academic career with a Ph.D. which looked at miners in the Ruhr. Over the following years, I researched different areas and aspects of the 'Age of Coal' and I would like to think that I possess the necessary qualifications to successfully complete the undoubtedly ambitious project. This would however, require a grant from the DFG to be relieved from my teaching obligations for two terms resp. 12 months so that the publication can appear in 2018 - when coal mining ends in Germany.

当 2018 年德国停止煤炭开采时，一个时代就结束了，这个时代对于过去 250 年欧洲历史的重要性怎么强调都不为过。在德国和整个欧洲，这种能源决定性地塑造了政治、经济、社会和文化领域。它在日常生活和高雅文化中留下了深刻的印记，并带来了对自然和环境的大规模干预，其中二氧化碳的增加是目前最紧迫的。因此，煤炭的重要性远远超出了提供便利的能源来源——正如该项目所言。本书将展示。欧洲不同国家已经有大量关于煤炭开采各个方面的出版物。然而，尽管涵盖英国和德国的多卷选集将在未来一两年内完成，但一般性调查却很少。其他欧洲国家没有进行过此类调查，对于欧洲煤炭历史尤其如此。这种情况令人遗憾，因为煤炭时代只能在更广泛的欧洲背景下才能理解。该项目的目的是利用现有文献来撰写这样一本专着。为此，本专着将尝试提供的不仅仅是摘要——尽管这本身就是一个相当大的挑战。该项目将超越既定的研究领域，并纳入有关煤炭开采的性别、重要性和环境后果的最新出版物。这些出版物提供了新的见解，但到目前为止，它们的数量相当小，而且只覆盖了部分地区。国家。因此，该项目将把这些发现联系起来，并将它们放在更广泛的时间、地域和比较范围内。跨国视角。将特别强调关于“大分流”的辩论，这提供了将欧洲的发展置于全球背景中的机会。最后，还将讨论我们是否可以建立“碳民主”的论文。除了现有文献之外，该项目还将基于申请人进行的广泛研究。我以博士学位开始了我的学术生涯。它着眼于鲁尔区的矿工。在接下来的几年里，我研究了“煤炭时代”的不同领域和方面，我想我拥有成功完成这个无疑雄心勃勃的项目所需的资格。然而，这需要 DFG 的拨款才能免除我两个学期的教学义务。该出版物需要 12 个月才能在 2018 年（德国煤炭开采结束时）出版。
