Konrad IX. von Weinsberg, Königin Barbara (von Cilli) und die ritterliche Gesellschaft zum Phönix [Conrad IX of Weinsberg, Queen Barbara (of Celje) and the knightly Order of the Phoenix], S. 261–279
On 15 November 1429 Barbara of Celje, Queen of Hungary and Croatia, since 1414 also German Queen, the second wife of Sigismund, the last member of the House of Luxembourg on the royal and imperial throne, charged high chamberlain Conrad of Weinsberg to have several medals of the Order of the Phoenix – dedicated to the noble women of her kingdoms – manufactured by peripatetic goldsmiths for the value of 10 to 70 Hungarian Gulden each. In total the chamberlain was allowed to spend up to 700 Gulden. To help Weinsberg in his mission Barbara sent him a woodcut model and a coloured painting of the Order, which have both disappeared, while her letter held by the Weinsberg archives came to the Hohenlohe Archives in Neuenstein. Weinsberg no doubt completed his mission, as he needed the Queen’s intercession approval, having fallen into disgrace with King Sigismund, and was rehabilitated at court in 1431. Barbara’s order was the only order in the Middle Ages that was destined only for women of the higher nobility. The famous Order of the Dragon, donated by Sigismund and Barbara jointly, was only destined for men. The Counts of Hohenlohe adopted the phoenix, the immortal mythical bird, into their coat of arms in the early 17th century and founded the Hohenlohe House Order of the Phoenix in 1757.
Georges Hellinghausen
Rome-La Haye-Luxembourg et la question scolaire au Grand-Duché. II. Sous Monseigneur Adames (1848-1883) [Rome-The Hague-Luxembourg and the question of education in the Grand-Duchy II. under Monseigneur Adames (1848-1883)], S. 281–320
During his long mandate as pro-vicar, vicar apostolic and bishop of Luxembourg (1848–1883), Nicolas Adames had to tackle the question of education in an international context marked by the secularization of schools. The culmination was the revision of the 1843 law on primary education which, after two failed attempts, was passed in 1881: the new law significantly reduced the influence of the clergy in schools. The consecutive apostolic mediators in The Hague represented the Catholic point of view and played an important role in these political discussions not only with regard to Church representatives in Luxembourg but also to the State. Similar to his predecessor Mgr Laurent, Adames was later criticized for his role in the school conflict, which led to his removal from the ecclesiastic scene.
Paul Schmit
Le rapport Artuso dans le miroir du droit [The Artuso report under the aspect of law], S. 321–348
In 2013 the Luxembourgish Government commissioned the University of Luxembourg with a research work on the activities of a politico-administrative authority, named Commission administrative. This commission was put into place at the beginning of World War II after Germany invaded the Grand-Duchy on 10 May1940. The night before the invasion the grand-ducal court and the government had left the country in a hurry in order not to become the hostages of the invader. The report (called “rapport Artuso” by the name of its author) comprises a critical analysis of the activities of the Commission administrative, whose members were senior State executives. It covers the period from the commission’s creation by the Parliament immediately after the German invasion until its dissolution, on December 23rd by Gauleiter Simon, appointed by Hitler as Chef der Zivilverwaltung in Luxembourg. Paul Schmit’s contribution comments on the legal aspects of the historical events the Artuso report relates to. Its analysis first recalls the institutional environment in place and the legal work performed by the Luxembourgish authorities before World War II. The author points at the inadequacy of the constitutional frame to face the events of 1940. He tries to answer the question whether this commission was just an entity representing the exiled government or whether it worked as a kind of “government bis”. A last chapter is dedicated to the partially equivocal attitude adopted by the Commission administrative in relation to the situation of the Jewish people among Luxembourgish natives and refugees still present in the country at the time of its invasion.
