| Abstract | Religious memory reflects social structures. This session seeks to present memory in the social context of Utrecht, the religious capital of the northern Low Countries. Whilst sharing this geographical location and thematic orientation, the papers aim to offer different perspectives. The first one explores the network of an individual and layman, whereas the focus of the other two is on religious institutions, namely the commandry of the Teutonic Order and two collegiate churches. Memory could be stimulated by donations, on the other hand a loss of memory and possessions occurred. Both ways reveal the impact of memory on social standing. |
