The rese­arch on the tra­di­ti­on of peace ethics is an essen­ti­al ele­ment of European-Christian peace ethics. In every epoch sin­ce anti­qui­ty, the ques­ti­on of the rela­ti­onship bet­ween war, peace and jus­ti­ce has been much deba­ted. One of the core ques­ti­ons is whe­ther it is ethi­cal­ly per­mis­si­ble to use mili­ta­ry force to achie­ve peace. The aim of our rese­arch is to work out the results of the­se dis­pu­tes and their his­to­ri­cal impact. We have to be awa­re of our roots and we have to pro­tect the peace-ethical cul­tu­re in order to be able to sol­ve cur­rent conflicts!

The libra­ry coll­ec­tion includes a tre­asu­re of his­to­ri­cal books from the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th cen­tu­ries, the pre­ser­va­ti­on of which is of gre­at importance. The oldest two volu­mes in the libra­ry date from 1593 and 1595 and can no lon­ger be con­sul­ted or used due to their age. Know­ledge threa­tens to be irre­vo­ca­bly lost for sci­ence and the public. The­r­e­fo­re, we urgen­tly need your support!
