The lecture would like to make a contribution to
to specify structural connections between Corvey and the mother monastery of Corbie. The
'Statutes' of Abbot Adalhard of Corbie precisely describe the organization of the
everyday monastery life in the picardy area and the question arises whether these instructions that
Adalhard wrote down for the mother monastery, also a role model for the
everyday processes in Corvey. This applies in particular to the obligations
and tasks of various individual functionaries of the community (treasurer and
this subordinate cellar master, as well as the marshal), whereby the focus of the lecture on
will lie with the office of the monastic chamberlain.
