About the Project
Frauenspuren Coburg is an independent information site on the history of women in the Coburg region.
What This Site Is
The site collects articles about women connected with the Coburg region and about the conditions in which they lived. It is a standalone topic resource. It has no connection with the city of Coburg, museums, archives, associations, parties or any individuals.
How We Work
We include only what can be checked in sources. Where the sources are unclear or details contradict each other, the text says so. Missing pieces are not filled with guesses. Personal memories, rumors and family legends do not count as proof.
Sources
The articles so far draw on publicly available reference works and collections, including the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland, the Deutsche Biographie, material from the Royal Collection Trust and the archive of Trinity College in Cambridge. On individual topics the text points to further archive work.
