Life

Michael Utecht was educated as an art teacher. In 1988, as part of a job creation measure (ABM), he got a job in the city archive of Peine, which was then still stored in the basement of the city hall and was only managed on a voluntary basis. Utecht's first task associated with the measure was to make an inventory of the estate of Peine's bailiff Johann Friedrich Ziegler. [2]

After the start of the job creation measure and the move to the current building, the Peine City Archive was to be staffed full-time in the future. After Utecht had initially managed the archive on an interim basis, a year later he successfully applied for the post of archive director, where he ended up managing the institution for around 30 years. [2]

For a reassessment of the events of the November pogroms of 1938 in Peine by the historian Jens Binner in the Peine District Museum, Utecht contributed archival materials such as trial files and photos, for exampl a photo of the burning Peine synagogue, in 2017. [3]

In his office he planned and wrote numerous publications, including the series “History(s) from the City Archives” published in the newspaper Peiner Allgemeine Zeitung. [2]

In 2019, Utecht retired. [2] In the same year, as the sixth volume of the source editions from the city archives, he published previously unknown letters from Friedrich von Bodenstedt, an honorary citizen of Peine, on his 200th birthday. [4]

Most of his writings were self-published by the city archive Peine.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Soest Feud</span> 1444–1449 feud in modern-day Germany

The Soest Feud, or Feud of Soest, was a feud that took place from 1444 to 1449 in which the town of Soest claimed its freedom from Archbishop Dietrich of Cologne (1414–1463), who tried to restore his rule. The town of Soest opposed this attempt on 5 June 1444 by accepting a new suzerain, John I, the Duke of Cleves-Mark, who guaranteed the town its old rights as well as new ones. As a result Emperor Frederick III imposed the imperial ban on the town. The victory of the town meant that Soest had de facto more freedom than a free imperial city until it was annexed by Prussia, but at the same time it had to forfeit its economic power because it was now an enclave within Cologne's territory.
