| Research Abstract |
Eastern Frankish and "German" Kingdoms in the 9th and 10th century consisted of mainly four peoples, Franks (Franci), Saxons (Saxones), Alemanns (Alamanni) and Bavarians (Baiuwarii), these are called in the historical sources as gens/gentes (pl.). These groups are long time situated as the underunit of the "German Peoples", as "Stamm/Stamme" under the "deutsches Volk". But now, this conception and its theoretical assumption-priority of the ethnic peoples (Volk) to a political state-, which was at first time constucted in the 19th century, must be corrected as follows. It becomes possibles, new perspectives of the political structure and ethnogenesis to analyze, in conbination of Wenskus' ethnogenesis-theorie, which related the late Roman empire period or early medieval Europe, with Werner's Regna-structure-theorie for the Carolingian empire : A part of the newly established, political and polyethnic Germanic groups (gentes) are integrated to the Carolingian empire after ages of the migration of peoples and possesion of the country. These had changed its character in the process of political "Regentilisierung" within the governmental unit (regna) so foudamentally, that gentes could become a structual elements of a new "German Peoples" as a historically secondary production
