项目摘要

Since 1952 the Germanisches Nationalmuseum has had in its holdings 55 Ottoman carpets from the 16th to the 18th c. from the Protestant Parish Church in Bistrita. This collection, unique in terms of its historical completeness, will, for the first time, be the subject of a comprehensive research project, which will analyze not only the significance of the carpets in the early modern period but also their identity-generating role in the 19th and early 20th c. The carpets, made in Anatolia, reached Transylvania via trade routes from the mid-15th c. on. As economically significant luxury items they testify to the intensive commercial ties and the cultural exchange between the Ottoman Empire and Christian Europe; its hub Transylvania was at times subject to Ottoman dominance. Art-historical and art-technological examinations of a representative selection of 20 carpets and analysis of written sources such as customs registers, will aim to pinpoint dates and places of origin to determine time frames and trade routes more accurately. As status symbols and gifts the carpets played a role in the representational culture of the German nobility and middle class as well as the guilds in Transylvania. Starting with the Reformation they found their way into Protestant churches, usually as donations, where, despite their Islamic roots, especially of the prayer rugs, they were accorded functions in the liturgy and ceremonies. Sources such as inventories, sacristans registers and wills are expected to shed light on this. Historical inscriptions and graffiti found on the carpets will also be studied. The project will examine the fate of the carpets in the 19th and 20th c. as well. In the first half of the 19th c. they were not greatly esteemed by the parishioners, as witnessed by their present condition. Yet they were a part of the German-speaking culture in Transylvania and assumed an identity-shaping role for the Transylvanian Saxons, who, in the course of Romanian nationalist endeavors in the 19th c., attempted via their own historical awareness to delimit themselves from the neighboring ethnic groups. From 1907 on the carpets were treated as museum items, often filling large wall spaces in Protestant churches. There they were displayed as testimony to Transylvanias economic heyday in the 15th to the 17th c., which was strongly influenced by the Ottoman trading links. By means of the Anatolian rugs the project will examine important aspects of early modern period trans-Ottoman trade as well as the use and significance of these goods in the border regions between Transylvania and the Ottoman Empire. New insights are expected on the trade with carpets themselves, which as luxury goods assumed a special status within the commodity groups, as well as their importance and later use in Transylvania to where they transported a piece of Ottoman culture and themselves became an element of Saxon culture.

自 1952 年以来，日耳曼国家博物馆收藏了 55 块 16 世纪至 18 世纪的奥斯曼地毯。来自比斯特里察新教教区教堂。该系列在历史完整性方面是独一无二的，将首次成为一个综合研究项目的主题，该项目不仅将分析地毯在现代早期的重要性，还将分析它们在现代早期的身份生成作用。 19世纪和20世纪初c。这些地毯产于安纳托利亚，从 15 世纪中期起通过贸易路线到达特兰西瓦尼亚。在。作为具有重要经济意义的奢侈品，它们证明了奥斯曼帝国与基督教欧洲之间密切的商业联系和文化交流；它的中心特兰西瓦尼亚有时受到奥斯曼帝国的统治。对精选的 20 块地毯进行艺术历史和艺术技术考察，并对海关登记等书面资料进行分析，旨在查明日期和原产地，以便更准确地确定时间框架和贸易路线。作为身份象征和礼物，地毯在德国贵族和中产阶级以及特兰西瓦尼亚行会的代表性文化中发挥着重要作用。从宗教改革开始，它们通常以捐赠的形式进入新教教堂，尽管它们具有伊斯兰根源，尤其是祈祷毯，但它们在礼拜仪式和仪式中被赋予了功能。库存、圣器保管登记册和遗嘱等来源预计将揭示这一点。地毯上的历史铭文和涂鸦也将被研究。该项目将研究 19 世纪和 20 世纪地毯的命运。以及。十九世纪上半叶。正如他们目前的状况所证明的那样，他们并没有受到教区居民的高度尊重。然而，他们是特兰西瓦尼亚德语文化的一部分，并为特兰西瓦尼亚撒克逊人承担了塑造身份的角色，在19世纪罗马尼亚民族主义的努力过程中，他们试图通过自己的历史意识将自己与特兰西瓦尼亚撒克逊人划清界限。邻近的民族。从 1907 年起，地毯被视为博物馆藏品，经常占据新教教堂的大面积墙壁空间。在那里，它们被展示为 15 世纪至 17 世纪特兰西瓦尼亚经济鼎盛时期的见证，该时期深受奥斯曼贸易联系的影响。该项目将通过安纳托利亚地毯研究近代早期跨奥斯曼贸易的重要方面，以及这些商品在特兰西瓦尼亚和奥斯曼帝国边境地区的用途和重要性。人们期望对地毯本身的贸易有新的见解，地毯作为奢侈品在商品类别中占据特殊地位，以及它们的重要性和后来在特兰西瓦尼亚的使用，在那里它们传播了奥斯曼文化，并成为撒克逊的一个元素文化。
