Printing and binding: CPI books GmbH, Leck www.degruyter.com Preface The current work was defended as a PhD thesis at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Hamburg in 2019. The supervisors were Jürgen Sarnowsky (University of Hamburg) as primary and Carsten Jahnke (University of Copenhagen) as secondary. The work you are reading now is a slightly revised version of this thesis, with minor points added or corrected, and an updated bibliography. However, the publication of this book marks only the end of a process that was set in course long before I started to work on the subject. At an interdisciplin- ary conference about the medieval North Atlantic trade in Avaldsnes, Norway, in 2013, the idea came up that it would be good if someone would compile an exten- sive overview of the German trade with the North Atlantic, based on historical written sources. This idea was included in the project “Between the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea: Interdisciplinary Studies of the Hanse”,whichwasledby Natascha Mehler, funded by the Leibniz Association, and took place at the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven from 2015 to 2018. It included a PhD position for a historian, at which point I entered the process. It has been a great pleasure to work as part of this wonderfully inspiring in- terdisciplinary project, and my sincerest gratitude goes out to Natascha Mehler, whose advice and feedback on the texts, enthusiasm for the North Atlantic is- lands, and interdisciplinary research have been incredibly helpful. The same goes for the other team members, Mike Belasus and Hans Christian Küchelmann, and associated researchers Philipp Grassel and Florian Dirks, for their ideas and comments from different perspectives. For the archival work in various countries, I owe thanks to Adolf Hofmeister, Hrefna Róbertsdóttir, and Símun Arge, who acquainted me with the archives and the sources, as well as Brian Smith and John Ballantyne, who have been very helpful in providing me with and helping me to understand the sources written in sixteenth-century Scots. Alessia Bauer and Philip Lavender helped me with the Icelandic sources. Of great value has also been the work of Inga Lange, who transcribed large parts of the donation register of the confraternity of St Anne, as well as John Nicholls and Hans Martin Horst for programming and entering data into the source database HANSdoc. Conversations with many people have helped me to sharpen my thoughts and have provided valuable input, both related to content and on a more gen- eral level. Among others (in alphabetical order by first name): Angela Ling Huang, Árni Daníel Júliússon, Christian Ashauer, Christian Manger, Christoph Dartmann, Daniel McNaughton, Esther Sahle, Helgi Þorláksson, Kevin Martin, Kilian Baur, Mark Gardiner, Pétur Kristjánsson, Philipp Höhn, Sarah Lentz, and Open Access. © 2020 Bart Holterman, published by De Gruyter.

Special thanks go out to Rolf de Weijert-Gutman, for his input on digital editing and for giving me good advice I chose to ignore. Graphical support was provided by Sophie Holterman, who designed the timeline of harbours in Iceland and the Faroes, and Natalie Lehbrecht-Zollgreve, who helped with the creation of the maps. My gratitude goes out to Helgi Michelsen, Armgarð Weihe, and Laurie Goodlad for accommodation, transport, and guidance in the Faroes and Shetland. Catering was provided for a large part by the cafés Lisboa, Karton, Frida, Heinrich and Pour pour in Bremen, who should thank me indeed, as I don’t want to know how much money I spent on coffee and cakes during the writing of this thesis. Finally, I would like to thank my colleagues at the German Maritime Museum and flatmates past and present, as well as my dear family and friends for their continued mental support. And last but certainly not least, thank you, my dearest Nina, for enduring me.

  • The German North Sea Ports' Absorption Into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914
    From Unification to Integration: The German North Sea Ports' absorption into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914 Henning Kuhlmann Submitted for the award of Master of Philosophy in History Cardiff University 2016 Summary This thesis concentrates on the economic integration of three principal German North Sea ports – Emden, Bremen and Hamburg – into the Bismarckian nation- state. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Emden, Hamburg and Bremen handled a major share of the German Empire’s total overseas trade. However, at the time of the foundation of the Kaiserreich, the cities’ roles within the Empire and the new German nation-state were not yet fully defined. Initially, Hamburg and Bremen insisted upon their traditional role as independent city-states and remained outside the Empire’s customs union. Emden, meanwhile, had welcomed outright annexation by Prussia in 1866. After centuries of economic stagnation, the city had great difficulties competing with Hamburg and Bremen and was hoping for Prussian support. This thesis examines how it was possible to integrate these port cities on an economic and on an underlying level of civic mentalities and local identities. Existing studies have often overlooked the importance that Bismarck attributed to the cultural or indeed the ideological re-alignment of Hamburg and Bremen. Therefore, this study will look at the way the people of Hamburg and Bremen traditionally defined their (liberal) identity and the way this changed during the 1870s and 1880s. It will also investigate the role of the acquisition of colonies during the process of Hamburg and Bremen’s accession. In Hamburg in particular, the agreement to join the customs union had a significant impact on the merchants’ stance on colonialism.

Though he wrote a vast amount of music this part of his creative production has to a large extent been neglected by mod- ern scholarship. His reputation today is mainly focused on his famous critique of J.S. Bach’s compositional style which he characterised as ‘bombastic and confused’, and his assertion that Bach darkened the beauty of the music ‘by an excess of art’ (that is, writing and making use of excessive ornamentation) and difficult to perform.2 It should be kept in mind, however, that though Scheibe admired the music of compos- ers such as G.Ph.
