Jörg Feuchter (PhD in Medieval History 2006, Humboldt University Berlin) is the research coordinator (Arbeitsstellenleiter) for the project Regesta Imperii – Regesten Kaiser Friedrichs III. (1440–1493) at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. His research on medieval religion focuses on three topics: Christian dissidence and repression, religious violence and transcultural entanglements between Islam and Christianity, and royal policy towards Jewish subjects.

Feuchter has published widely on such topics including his monograph Ketzer, Konsuln und Büßer. Die städtischen Eliten von Montauban vor dem Inquisitor Petrus Cellani 1236–1241 (2007) as well as edited volumes including Religion and Its Other: Secular and Sacral Practices in Interaction (2008) and Cultural Transfers in Dispute: Representations in Asia, Europe and the Arab World since the Middle Ages (2011). His new book project is Tötungsrecht und Tötungsverbot. Der Plan von Kaiser Friedrich III. und Markgraf Albrecht von Brandenburg zur Ausplünderung der Nürnberger Judenschaft, 1463/1464. He is also interested in premodern political rhetoric and representation as well as studying history using methods drawn from the natural sciences, especially ancient DNA-based research.
