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.

在2018年，在德国的煤炭停车场开采时，时代将结束，在过去250年中，对欧洲历史的重要性不会被夸大。在德国和整个欧洲，这种能源果断地塑造了政治，经济，社会和文化的领域。它在日常生活和高文化中留下了深刻的印象，并带来了自然界的大规模干预措施以及当前二氧化碳的增加是最紧迫的环境。因此，煤炭的重要性远远超出了提供方便的能源 - 作为项目的研究。这本书将显示出来。关于欧洲不同国家的煤矿开采各个方面的出版物已经存在。但是，一般调查很少见，尽管涵盖了大不列颠和德国的多卷选集，这些选集将在明年或两年内完成。对于其他欧洲国家，没有这样的调查，对于欧洲的煤炭历史尤其如此。这种情况令人遗憾，因为煤炭的时代只能在更广泛的欧洲背景下才能理解。该项目的目的是借鉴已经可用的文献。这样一来，该专着将尝试提供不仅仅是摘要 - 尽管这本身就是一个挑战。该项目将超越既定的研究领域，并纳入有关煤矿开采的性别，物质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，仅涵盖了一些地区。国家。结果，该项目将把这些发现联系起来，并将它们置于更广泛的时间范围内和比较的分子中。跨国观点。将特别强调有关“巨大分歧”的辩论，该辩论提供了将欧洲发展融入全球环境的机会。最后，还将讨论我们是否可以将“碳民主”的论点进行讨论。除了现有文献外，该项目还将基于申请人进行的广泛研究。我从博士学位开始了我的学术生涯。看着Ruhr中的矿工。在接下来的几年中，我研究了“煤炭时代”的不同领域和各个方面，我想认为我拥有必要的资格来成功完成无疑的雄心勃勃的项目。但是，这将要求DFG的赠款从我的教学义务中解脱出两个任期。 12个月，以便该出版物可以在2018年出现 - 当时煤矿开采在德国结束。
