Lutz Rickelt was a research associate at the University of Münster's Cluster of Excellence “Religion & Politics”. He worked on two major projects: the B-11 project "Emperor and Patriarch in Byzantium – A Tense Relationship" (August 2009–October 2012), and the B2-8 project "Moses and David: Ambiguous Typologies for Patriarchs and Emperors in Byzantium" (November 2012–December 2016). His affiliation was exclusively with the Cluster of Excellence, which focused on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of religion and political systems.
Research interests centered on Byzantine imperial structures, religious authority dynamics, and the symbolic role of biblical figures in legitimizing political power. His work examined how patriarchal and imperial roles interacted in Byzantine governance, using Moses and David as case studies for typological authority frameworks.
No grants, awards, or advising roles were explicitly mentioned in the provided texts. His research contributions were primarily through these Cluster-funded projects within the framework of the university's interdisciplinary excellence initiatives.
