The dissertation is being written as part of the DFG project "Resilience and Vulnerability. European Noble Families in Times of Revolutionary Upheaval 1760-1830" by Amerigo Caruso, which deals with adaptation and coping strategies of noble family networks.
 As a case study serves a noble network around the families Reventlow, Bernstorff, Schimmelmann and Stolberg, which played a decisive role in politics and administration in the Danish state during the period under consideration. This corresponds to the focus of the project in the area of the European semi-periphery and is also of particular interest because the Danish monarchy, after a particularly long period of peace, found itself in the turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars, and at their end on the side of the losers.
 Kinship structures and their effectiveness in responding to and dealing with disruptive and crisis events will be examined. Theories from family resilience research will provide a new methodological approach to nobility and kinship research at the transition to the 19th century.
