Abstract (may include machine translation)
The chapter focuses on the western part of Central Europe and the impact of the events of the period around 900 on the region. The devastating invasions of the Hungarians had a great impact on the power structures and created a new political landscape. But how far is the usual pattern of the dark ages valid for this region as well? The picture is not as clear as it seems in the West. Some sources suggest continuity and even growth. It should therefore also be asked what links the late Carolingian period to the 10th century in Central Europe. Can some of the developments of the 10th century be traced back to the late 9th century? Or is the term “dark ages” also appropriate for this region?.
