Material Records, Digital Tools, and Analytical Methods: Rethinking History through Architecture, 15–16 September 2026, The Open University of Israel

Conferences

This international conference will explore architecture and space as sources of historical knowledge. We will examine layers of meaning in architecture through new digital methods (Day 1) and new analytical prisms (Day 2). By integrating 2D and 3D visualizations, virtual reality, and sound-based reconstructions of historic sites with academic analysis, we will reconstruct lost experiences, communities, and ritual practices through multidisciplinary approaches to architecture and space.

Many papers are relevant to medieval Jewish Studies.

About Andreas Lehnertz

As Juniorprofessor of medieval history with a specialization in Jewish history at the University of Trier, Andreas Lehnertz studies the social, cultural, and religious history of Europe. His academic pursuits focus on the nuanced dynamics of everyday Christian-Jewish relations, the study of marginal Hebrew and Yiddish deeds, the study of Jewish and general sealing practices, and the in-depth study of Jewish craftspeople. He wrote a book on "Jewish Seals in the Medieval German Empire: The Authentication and Self-Representation of Jewish Men and Women". His expertise has been further honed through his roles as a postdoctoral fellow in the ERC project "Beyond the Elite - Jewish Daily Life in Medieval Europe" at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and as a member of the Martin Buber Society in the Humanities and Social Sciences, also at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Currently he writes a book about "Jewish Craftspeople in Medieval Germany". Through his research and publications, he aims to make a meaningful contribution to the academic discourse surrounding medieval history and to provide valuable insights into the rich tapestry of European history during this pivotal period.
