Timeline / 1820 to 1910 / GERMANY Timeline / 1820 to 1910 / GERMANY Date Country Theme 1820 - 1825 Germany Rediscovering The Past The German naturalists and explorers Wilhelm Friedrich Hemprich and Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg embark on a research tour in cooperation with Martin Lichtenstein (who published Reisen im südlichen Afrika (Tourism in Southern Africa) in 1810 and was appointed director of the Berlin Zoological Museum in 1813) from Cairo to Derna in Libya, along the Nile, and through the Sinai Desert and Lebanon, collecting natural and historical specimens. 1820s - 1860s Germany Travelling The formation of modern tourism grows in stages, first the nobility, then the educated middle classes and finally citizens of much more modest means. Karl Baedeker, who published the first successful travel book in 1827, was one of the innovators of modern mass tourism. The first group- and corporation-travel tours were inaugurated by the English firm Thomas Cook in 1840. In 1863 the first travel agency opened in Breslau, followed in 1869 by the founding of the German Alp Society, which opened up the Alps to tourism. 1822 - 1829 Germany Political Context The War between Greece and the Ottoman Empire concludes with Greece attaining its independence with the help of Russia and the Western nations. 1824 - 1829 Germany Cities And Urban Spaces Rosenstein Palace is built by Giovanni Salucci under Wilhelm I; it has been a public museum since 1954. 1825 - 1848 Germany Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion This era, one marked by the politician and statesman Klemens von Metternich, a supporter of restoration politics and conditions prior to the French Revolution, is satirised by the Junges Deutschland, a movement in literature (i.e. the works of Büchner, Heine and Grabbe) that is characterised by a rejection of these beliefs in support of a free press and freedom of expression. 1830 - 1847 Germany Political Context Stimulated by the French July Revolution, the Vormärz (pre-March) Revolution refers to the formation of political programmes and factional movements. 1830 - 1871 Germany Cities And Urban Spaces Due to the rise of industrialisation in Germany, in 1862, the Hobrecht-Plan aims to modernise Berlin over the following 50 years. 1830 - 1840 Germany Economy And Trade Industrialisation and the Industrial Revolution. Date Country Theme Since 1830 Germany Migrations Transatlantic migration from Europe, to America, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and Australia. 1830 Germany Reforms And Social Changes The French July Revolution strengthens the power of the Besitzbürgertum (the landed gentry). Revolutions in central and north Germany enforce constitutional state reforms. 1832 Germany Political Context From 27 to 30 May an apparently non-political country fair, the “Hambacher Fest”, was held by a German national democratic assembly, demanding freedom, national entity and popular sovereignty. 1832 Germany Reforms And Social Changes The “Hambacher Fest” demonstrates the liberal, democratic and national opposition in Germany. 1833 Germany Great Inventions Of The 19th Century First communication by telegram. 1834 Germany Reforms And Social Changes Standardisation of the Abitur (equivalent to the A-Level system used elsewhere) which allows students to enter German universities. 1834 Germany Travelling The Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam is connected to Berlin by rail, one of the first electrified railway sections in Old Germany. Since 1911, the Palace has been used as a film location (i.e. The Blue Angel, 1930). 1835 - 1838 Germany Cities And Urban Spaces The first section of railway is established between Nürnberg and Fürth (6 km); the building of the long-haul between Leipzig and Dresden is finished in 1838. 1840 - 1880 Germany Cities And Urban Spaces Development of a railway network across the whole of Germany, much of which still exists today. The most important stations are developed during this period, including: Berlin Ostbahnhof (1842), Nürnberg Central Station (1844), Duisburg Central Station (1846) and Munich Central Station (1849). Around 1850 - Around 1900 Germany Cities And Urban Spaces Development of the urban district known as the “Ruhrpott” from where, by around 1850, many factories operated (known particularly for coal mining). Due to rapid Date Country Theme urbanisation and lack of housing several important cities expanded rapidly at this time, including Duisburg and Dortmund. The railway network reached the “Ruhrpott” in 1900. 1841 - 1844 Germany Travelling The Berlin Zoological Gardens was established in 1841 and opened to the public in 1844. The oldest zoo in Germany, today, it hosts more visitors than any zoo in Europe (around 3 million visitors per year). 1842 - 1846 Germany Rediscovering The Past The Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius is appointed director of an expedition to Egypt by Friedrich Wilhelm IV. 1843 Germany Great Inventions Of The 19th Century Friedrich Gottlob commodifies paper production (the mass production of cheap paper). 1843 - 1876 Germany Fine And Applied Arts Formation of the Neues Museum (1843–55), built by Friedrich August Stüler, a follower of K. F. Schinkel. Stüler and Carl Busse then design the Alte Nationalgalerie (1867–76). 1844 Germany Reforms And Social Changes First proletarian uprising: 3000 weavers in Silesia are protesting against the inhumane working conditions and their exploitation. They are all being killed by the Prussian military. 1844 Germany Reforms And Social Changes The first Proletariat uprising, the Weber Rebellion, witnesses 3,000 weavers in Silesia protesting against inhumane working conditions and exploitation. The uprising is quashed by the Prussian military – which murders them all. 1848 Germany Political Context Establishment of the first parliament in German history (at the Paulskirche, Frankfurt am Main), and elaboration of the German Imperial Constitution. 1848 - 1849 Germany Political Context The Pre-March Revolution involves a series of protests, gatherings and disturbances, but by July 1849 the Bundes troops are victorious and the revolution fails. 1848 Germany Political Context The German National Assembly meets in Frankfurt. Date Country Theme 1848 - 1890 Germany Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion The era of Realism in literature (i.e. the works of Raabe, Fontane and Busch) is characterised by exact descriptions of reality, subjective narration and irony. 1848 Germany Reforms And Social Changes Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels publish the Communist Manifesto. 1848 Germany Reforms And Social Changes Liberal regimes, now with seats in government, herald a series of liberal reforms in all German states. After riots in Berlin, Prussian King Frederick William IV promises liberal and national reforms. 1849 Germany Political Context The German National Assembly approves the Constitution of the German Empire. 1849 Germany Political Context The Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV refuses the German Imperial Crown. 1849 Germany Reforms And Social Changes Popular movements in Saxony, Baden and the Pfalz attempt to put into effect the Constitution of the Empire, but they are defeated by Prussian troops. 1850 - 1900 Germany Fine And Applied Arts The painting by Max Liebermann, Die Gänserupferinnen (1872), exemplifies Impressionism in art at this time. 1850 - 1870 Germany Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion Surveillance, spying and so on, creates fear and leads to political persecution of musicians (e.g. both Richard Wagner and Gottfried Semper are forced into exile).

  • Introduction Making, Experiencing and Managing Difference in a Changing Germany
    Introduction Making, Experiencing and Managing Difference in a Changing Germany Jan-Jonathan Bock and Sharon Macdonald In late August and early September 2015, thousands of asylum seekers from the Middle East were stranded in Hungary’s capital, Budapest. Many complained about heavy-handed mistreatment by the authorities, who also set up new ‘detention centres’ at the country’s southeastern border (Haraszti 2015; Kallius et al. 2016). When thousands of migrants left Budapest to march on a motorway towards Austria – and Germany – the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, and her Austrian counterpart, Werner Faymann, took a far-reaching decision. Bypassing the ordinary rules of the EU’s shared asylum system, both leaders agreed to permit asylum seekers entry into their countries to process applications for pro- tection and combat human trafficking. Only two weeks previously, the discovery of seventy-one dead bodies in a locked van on the A4 motorway in Austria – the victims of trafficking – had illustrated the fatal conse- quences of Europe’s insufficient protection schemes for those fleeing con- flict elsewhere (den Heijer et al. 2016). The pressure on European leaders to act further increased after the highly publicized death of a young boy, Alan Kurdi, who drowned on his way to Europe. Images of his lifeless body, washed up on a Turkish beach, shocked the world.1 According to the EU’s Dublin Regulation, asylum seekers ought to apply for protection in the first EU country they reach. In most cases, these are Greece or Italy – two countries that, in the mid 2010s, struggled with unemployment and austerity, and from which asylum seekers sought to continue northwards (Lucht 2012; Redattore Sociale 2015; Trauner 2016).

  • Immigration, Ueberfremdung, and Cultural Chauvinism in German Far-Right Partisan Discourse
    Imagined Identity: Immigration, Ueberfremdung, and Cultural Chauvinism in German Far-Right Partisan Discourse Paul A. Harris, Ph.D. Augusta State University Abstract In recent years, issues of an imagined ethno-cultural identity and revived nationalism have received renewed attention in German partisan public discourse. Initially, this came as a shock to both Germans and non- Germans. Both inside and outside of Germany the rise of right-wing partisan rhetoric has evoked fearful memories of the Nazi past. Yet, given the political parties responsible for bringing this nationalist, xenophobic and anti-semitic discourse to the forefront, most notably the Die Republikaner (REP) , Deutsche Volksunion (DVU), and Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD)such reactions should hardly be surprising. The radical right’s adherence to racist ideology is both openly xenophobic and anti-Semitic and centers around the threat of elimination of the German kulturnation. This article addresses this right-extremist rhetoric in light of Germany’s liberal post-War immigration policies. I first undertake a historical examination of German immigration policy which has contributed to Germany’s multi-cultural milieu. I then examine German far right partisan discourse and its attack on Germany’s expansive immigration policies. My ultimate goal is to expose the illusory and fallacious character of the far right’s racist arguments in light of Germany’s post-War status as a true immigration country. Since the end of World War II Germany has witnessed changes in the demographic makeup of immigrants entering its borders. Whereas in the immediate post-War years co-ethnics from throughout Central and Eastern Europe dominated the immigrant landscape, since the 1960s a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural mix of peoples from throughout Eastern German Policy Studies/Politikfeldanalyse, 1(3), 2001, pp.

  • Stadtgeschichte(N) Gelsenkirchen
    Stadtgeschichte(n) Gelsenkirchen Eine Einrichtung in Trägerschaft der Einleitung Abriss der Stadtgeschichte Im Jahre 1875 wurden der Stadt Gelsenkirchen die Stadtrechte ver- liehen. Das heißt, eigentlich nur einem Teil der Stadt, die heute diesen Namen trägt – und zwar der »Landgemeinde Gelsenkirchen«, seit 1868 Verwaltungssitz und Hauptort des Amtes Gelsenkirchen: »Auf den Bericht vom 22. November d. Js. will Ich der im Kreise Bochum gelegenen Gemeinde Gelsenkirchen die Städte-Ordnung für die Provinz Westfalen vom 19. März 1856 hiermit verleihen und zugleich genehmigen, dass die genannte Gemeinde fortan auf dem Provinzial-Landtag von Westfalen im Stande der Städte vertreten werde«, verfügte am 29. November 1875 Wilhelm I., König von Preu- ßen. Die neue Stadt Gelsenkirchen, zu jenem Zeitpunkt wenig mehr als 11.000 Einwohner zählend, war geschaffen! Trotz einer mittelalterlichen Vorgeschichte – erstmalig wurde Gel- senkirchen um 1150 urkundlich erwähnt – ist die heutige Stadt tat- sächlich und in erster Linie ein Produkt des Industriezeitalters. Noch zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts war das Gebiet des heutigen Gelsenkirchen ein dünn besiedelter Landstrich mit etwa 6.000 Ein- wohnern. Abgesehen von einigen Handwerkern in den Kirchdörfern Gelsenkirchen und Buer ernährten sich die Menschen mehr schlecht als recht von der Landwirtschaft. An die Vorgeschichte der Indus- triestadt erinnern heute nur noch einige Baudenkmäler wie Schloss Horst, Schloss Berge, die Burg Lüttinghof sowie einige Überreste bäuerlichen Lebens. Als gegen Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts im hiesigen Gebiet Kohle entdeckt, die Gegend durch die Köln-Mindener Eisenbahn verkehrs- mäßig erschlossen wurde und schließlich auch allmählich die tech- 2 nischen Probleme der Kohlegewinnung gemeistert werden konnten, begann die Industrialisierung Gelsenkirchens.

  • Migrations in the German Lands: an Introduction ALEXANDER SCHUNKA
    12 Migrations in the German Lands: An Introduction ALEXANDER SCHUNKA Overview he history of human cultures is a history of migrations and movements.1 TThe contours of human mobility are remarkably sensitive to a broader historical context, and migrations have to a large extent produced and affected historical realities. Based on the insight that cultures are always shaped by mobility and exchange, scholars have developed a growing interest in under- standing the cross-cultural connections and conflicts that emerge in response to migration. Dealing with the history of immigration into Germany during the last five hundred years, the present volume breaks new ground. For a long time, immigration into Germany was not considered as historically relevant as the emigrations of Germans to the New World, to Russia, and elsewhere. The question of whether Germany was predominantly a land of emigration or one of immigration has become a political issue during the last thirty years, leaving its imprint on historical research. Migration illustrates a particular tension between the realities of human movement in German history and the capacity of the country’s social, cultural, and political institutions to absorb its effects. Indeed, the politics of migration in Germany have helped to produce any number of frank assertions about the desirability—and in fact the very nature of—a heterogeneous Germany. The stakes were perhaps never more clear than in the political statements originating in the 1982 federal coalition agreement between the West German ruling Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU) and the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP): the “Federal Republic of Germany is not a country of immigration.

    International Journal of Social Science and Economic Research ISSN: 2455-8834 Volume:03, Issue:03 "March 2018" THE RUHR-POLES: A STUDY IN GERMAN MIGRATION R. Nivedita PhD Research Scholar, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India ABSTRACT The first major wave of migration of the Poles was witnessed towards the Ruhr valley and was predominantly an essential component of the industrial manufacturing of coal, steel and mining. The immigration of the Poles westwards had a deep-seated consequence on Eastern Europe, Germany, Western Prussia and the portioned portion of Poland which eventually became a part of the Western Prussian conurbations. A majority of the ethnic Polish migrants came from the portions occupied by Russia, Posen and Silesia. One of the chief causes for large scale migration towards the German Empire was Germany was the second largest importer of labour after the United States to fulfil its demand for labour. The expansion of the Ruhr Valley as the largest industrial town of Europe, experienced spatial expansion of the province accompanied with the settlement of Ruhr-Poles. Thence began the process of assimilation and accommodation alongside preserving national identity. The following research attempts to understand the socio- economic dimension of Poles living in the Ruhr in particular and the German Empire at large coupled with the bureaucratic measures undertaken by Prussia during process of Germanisation and at the start of the Great War. Keywords: Ruhr-Poles, Migration, Immigration, Ethnic-minority, Germanisation, Citizenship 1. INTRODUCTION The Industrial Revolution transformed Germany into a major economic power in Europe until the outbreak of the First World War.
