    STREIFLICHTER ZUR HOTEL- UND TOURISMUSGESCHICHTE IM SAASTAL BIS ZUM ERSTEN WELTKRIEG 1 Roland Flückiger-Seiler 1 Die Entdeckung und Erforschung der Alpenwelt Wichtige Grundlagen für die Entdeckung der Schweizer Alpen als «Garten Edens» leisteten engagierte Forscher und Schriftsteller bereits im frühen 18. Jahrhun- dert. Einer der Ersten war der Zürcher Arzt und Universalgelehrte Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672–1733), der sich als erster Naturforscher nach dem lähmenden 17. Jahrhundert mit wissenschaftlichen Absichten in die Alpen wagte. In den Som- mermonaten durchstreifte er mit seinen Studenten alpine Gegenden und sammelte alle erdenklichen Daten über Natur und Umwelt. Mit diesem Wissen publizierte er 1713 eine vierteilige Karte der Schweiz, die lange Zeit als beste Darstellung der Eidgenossenschaft galt. Die von ihm erhobenen Daten und die eigene Beobach- tung des Gebirges auf seinen Wanderungen über fast alle Schweizer Alpenpässe bildeten die Basis für das seit 1702 in mehreren Auflagen erschienene Lebenswerk ‹Itinera per Helvetiae alpinas regiones›. Bereits 1704 nahm ihn die «Royal Socie- ty» in London als Mitglied auf, eine damals äusserst seltene Ehre für einen Aus- länder. Die Verbreitung seiner naturwissenschaftlichen Arbeiten über die Schweiz 1 Diese Übersicht basiert auf Texten, die der Autor in seinem Buch ‹Berghotels zwischen Alp- weide und Gipfelkreuz› 2015 im Verlag Hier und Jetzt, Baden, veröffentlicht hat. Inzwischen sind noch weitere Fakten zum Vorschein gekommen und die Texte zum Saastal sind hier über- sichtlich zusammengefasst. Der Autor möchte bei dieser Gelegenheit allen danken, die ihn bei seinen Forschungen im Saastal unterstützt haben und noch unterstützen: In erster Linie Damian Bumann als Archivar im «Historischen Archiv Saastal» (HAS). Dann geht der Dank auch an den Stiftungsrat von «Saas ischi Heimat» sowie an Beat Anthamatten und Bernhard Andenmatten, die mir zu wertvollem Material verholfen haben.

  • By Emine Sevgi Özdamar Translated by Leslie A. Adelson
    “On the Train” by Emine Sevgi Özdamar Translated by Leslie A. Adelson Translator’s Introduction Emine Sevgi Özdamar, born in 1946 and raised as what the author herself calls a ‘child of Istanbul’, first attracted widespread attention from German literary critics in 1991 when she was awarded the prestigious Ingeborg Bachmann Prize for Literature for her first German novel, which appeared nearly ten years later in English translation as Life is a Caravanserai: Has Two Doors I Came in One I Went Out the Other (this novel has been translated into ten additional languages, including Turkish). Even prior to this dramatic entry on the German literary scene, however, Özdamar was already emerging as a transnational player in postwar German culture in several different ways that would significantly influence the trajectory of her literary career too. One of the so-called guest workers recruited from Turkey in the 1960s to mitigate the labor shortage in divided Germany, Özdamar lived in Berlin as a factory worker from 1965 to 1967. Pursuing a professional acting career upon her return to Istanbul in the late 1960s, she performed key roles in Turkish stagings of German plays by the likes of Bertolt Brecht and Peter Weiss, including the pivotal role of Charlotte Corday in the revolutionary Marat-Sade play that made Weiss internationally famous. After her return to Europe in the 1970s—when Turkish persecution of leftists was especially brutal—Özdamar assisted with theatrical productions by some of the most sought after directors in both the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, including Benno Besson, Matthias Langhoff, Claus Peymann, Franz Xaver Kroetz, and Einar Schleef.

  • Carl Zuckmayer, Sohn Eines Fabrikanten Für Weinflaschenkapseln in Nackenheim, Wuchs Von 1900 an in Mainz Auf
    Carl Zuckmayer, Sohn eines Fabrikanten für Weinflaschenkapseln in Nackenheim, wuchs von 1900 an in Mainz auf. Er war kein begeisterter Schüler und hatte oft Ärger mit seinen Lehrern. Als in der Oberprima ein kränkelnder Lehrer seinetwegen beinahe in Ohnmacht gefallen war, konnte er nur knapp dem Schulverweis entgehen. 1914 machte er ein "Notabitur" am heute altsprachlichen Rabanus-Maurus-Gymnasium im Mainz, was ihm ermöglichte, sich als Kriegsfreiwilliger zu melden. Bis 1918 war er Soldat an der Westfront. Nach Kriegsende studierte bis 1920 u. a. Jura, Literaturgeschichte und Soziologie in Frankfurt am Main und Heidelberg. Von 1917 an veröffentlichte er Gedichte in expressionistischen Zeitschriften, darunter in der von Franz Pfemfert herausgegeben "Aktion". Im Dezember 1920 wurde sein Drama "Kreuzweg" am Staatlichen Schauspielhaus Berlin uraufgeführt, aber bereits nach drei Aufführungen wieder abgesetzt. Lobende Besprechungen erhielt es lediglich von Herbert Ihering und Siegfried Jacobsohn. 1920 heiratete er seine Mainzer Jugendliebe Annemarie Ganz, von der er sich 1921 wieder scheiden ließ, nachdem er eine leidenschaftliche Liebesaffaire mit der Schauspielerin Annemarie Seidel, genannt Mirl, begonnen hatte. Bis 1922 schlug er sich – insofern als unkonventioneller Autor ein Bohemien (Helmut Kreuzer) – als (Bänkel-) Sänger in Kneipen und mit Gelegenheitsarbeiten durch (u. a. als Statist beim Film oder auch als Drogendealer, dies ließ er jedoch sehr schnell, da er beinahe verhaftet wurde) bis er Engagements als Dramaturg in Kiel, München und (zusammen mit Bertolt Brecht) am Deutschen Theater Berlin erhielt. Dort lernte er die Wiener Schauspielerin Alice Frank, geborene von Herdan, kennen, die er 1925 heiratete. Aus einer vorangegangenen Ehe mit dem kommunistischen Funktionär Karl Frank hatte sie eine Tochter (Michaela), deren Stiefvater Zuckmayer nun wurde.

One of the finest long-distance trekking opportunities in Alpine Europe is the walking circuit of the huge, many-summitted massif of Monte Rosa (4634m) in the Swiss Alps. Starting out from the picturesque Alpine village of Saas Fee, our walking follows a clockwise direction, crossing from Switzerland then trekking into Italy and then back again. This undiscovered gem of a walking route around Monte Rosa keeps to the high ground as much as possible, close up beneath towering Alpine peaks, crossing airy passes and encountering snowfields and even walking over glaciers. En route, there are stunning views of many of the big peaks of the Alps, such as the Dom (4545m) Weisshorn (4596m) and particularly memorable Matterhorn (4478m).

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 314 944 FL 018 291 AUTHOR Duncan, Annelise M. TITLE The Camera Angles Film as a First Exposure to Literataure. PUB DATE 89 NOTE 10p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Teachers of German (Boston, MA, November 17-19, 1989). PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) -- Viewpoints (120) -- Speeches /Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Classroom Techniques; *Films; *German; *Instructional Materials; *Literature Appreciation; Second Language Instruction; Second Language Learning; Student Motivation ABSTRACT While students are struggling with the basic concepts of learning a second language, they are not likely to be intrigued by the language as the key to literature. In the first two years of language study, the amount of material being studied and the focus on language acquisition are such that film can be accommodated as an outside activity carrying credit. A German series of literature on film, designed for television, and literature interpreted for the cinema by film authors offer diversity in the language classroom, are well suited for classroom use, and are readily available. A brief in-class introduction of the author, the period, and the film establishes the literary context before viewing. A discussion of students' written critiques after viewing the film serve to clarify any questions students might have. Use of English in students' critical commentary is permissible only in the first semester. Students eventually recognize that subtitles are actually a hindrance, and they soon notice the inaccuracies in them. If appropriately used at each level, film will support literature before and when it can be read, while adding its own dimension to and interpretation of the written work.
