- Abstract
The book "The German Royal Palaces. Volume 6: North Rhine-Westphalia. Part 3: Westphalia" by Manfred Balzer deals with the royal palaces and residences of the kings in the German Empire during the Middle Ages. The repertoire lists both structurally solid palaces as well as residences of the German kings, such as bishop seats and monasteries. The book provides new insights into the court's supply and the royal planning in the development of settlements along the Hellweg. It also discusses the question of the royal use of the Hellweg as a transportation axis and the significance of Westphalia as a transit area. The individual articles in the book provide suitable material for comparative studies and are written by experts at a high level.
