In 2003 he was honoured with the "Goslarer Geschichtspreis" for his research on the Salian emperor Henry III.[1][2] In 2009 he obtained his doctoral degree from Humboldt-University of Berlin.

From these sources Lohse edited a 12th-century urbarium, a 13th-century chronicle[3] and a 15th-century ordinal, all of which were once composed by members of the chapter.[4][5] Besides pious endowments Lohse's research focusses mainly on the history of migrations, especially the ones of missionaries,[6] and mercenaries,[7] as well as on digital diplomatics.[8] During the spring term of 2017 Lohse was guest professor at Goethe University Frankfurt,[9] since fall 2017 he teaches as an associate professor at Humboldt.
