- Abstract
The book "Porridge and Halberd. Life in the Middle Ages between Everyday Life and War" by Werner Meyer comprehensively depicts medieval life. The author describes the effects of the environment, rulership, and the church on people's lives and delves into everyday life in detail. This includes both agricultural and village lifestyles as well as urban life, jurisdiction, and worldviews. The book contains numerous illustrations and excerpts from contemporary sources that illustrate the depiction. The last chapter is dedicated specifically to the topic of "War and Peace" and discusses forms of violence, armor and weapon technology, as well as life in castles. The book is suitable for both interested individuals without prior knowledge and for use in higher education.
