요약 : This dissertation describes and analyzes the foundation and further development of the Lutheran state church in the German territory of Mecklenburg from the official introduction of the Reformation in the mid sixteenth century to the negotiation of a major political and religious settlement in 1621. In recent years a number of scholars have suggested that the construction of state churches in the century following the Reformation can best be understood as part of a complex political and religious dynamic referred to as "confessionalization." According to the confessionalization model, the institutions of the new state churches---Catholic, Lutheran, and Calvinist alike---served as potent sources of social discipline and control. By teaching (perhaps for the first time) early modern Europeans to be good Christians, argue the confessionalization theorists, the state churches were at the same time turning the common folk into disciplined, obedient, conformist subjects of the new-style state. The evidence from Mecklenburg, however, suggests that this simplistic, if attractive paradigm, may not be correct---at least for one German territory. To be sure, all of the characteristic institutions of the post-Reformation state church were established in Mecklenburg in the decades following the introduction of the Reformation, including church ordinances, church superintendents, a church court (or consistory), parish visitations, and synods. But the institutions of Mecklenburg's state church never lived up to the ambitious goals set for them by the church ordinances: the church superintendents were overworked and too few in number; the consistory was slow, inefficient, and heard surprisingly few cases; visitations were rarely held, synods seldom convoked. Mecklenburg's Lutheran state church, then, could have served only as a very feeble source of social control in support of the princes' state-building agenda. Rather than functioning merely as the tool of dukes, we find that the state church in Mecklenburg was an institution that every group in society---princes, nobles, burghers, and peasants---managed in some way to make their own.
초록/해제  
요약 : The first chapter of this dissertation examines the historiography of confessionalization and introduces Mecklenburg as the subject of this case study. Chapter two provides a general narrative overview of the key events of the Reformation era in Mecklenburg. In chapter three the institutions of the state church are described in their ideal form, as they appear in the various church ordinances, while chapter four examines those same institutions at work. Chapter five is a case study of one district, Amt Boizenburg, revealing how the state church functioned on the local level. Chapter six examines the unsuccessful attempt by one of the dukes of Mecklenburg to introduce a second Calvinist Reformation in the early seventeenth century, an event which demonstrates the limits of princely control of religion.
