    I encountered this word when I was looking at the website of the Stadtarchiv Koeln. I've looked for it up in my dictionary and online, but I can't find its English meaning. Can anyone help? It's a noun by the way, and appears as a stand alone word describing a category of archival documents.

    I never heard that word before. Are you sure it's not a name or a typo?

    Korruption und »Gülich-Aufstand«


    ............ Einer der bekanntesten Fälle ist der »Gülich-Aufstand« im Jahr 1680. Der Kölner Kaufmann Nikolaus Gülich organisierte damals die Proteste gegen Amtsmissbrauch und Korruption in der Stadtverwaltung. Nikolaus Gülich erklärte damals, dass »Köln wie Jerusalem scheitern und Kindeskinder leiden würden, wenn der Meineid, das Stehlen und Säckeln nicht abgestellt würden.« Die Proteste und der Sturm des Rathauses führten zur Verurteilung von drei Bürgermeistern und hatten 1683 Neuwahlen des gesamten Kölner Rats zur Folge.
