SHORT DESCRIPTION This course explores the history of Modern Germany by focusing on Imperial Germany, the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich. We will study continuities and changes in politics, society, and culture and examine the lasting impact of World War I and II, the Third Reich and the Holocaust.

AIMS AND AGENDA This course will introduce students to the history and culture of Modern Germany, one of the leading powers of today’s Europe. We will start with the study of politics, society and culture of Imperial

April 28, 2019

Germany (1875-1918) and the First World War, which ended with a defeat for Germany and led to the November Revolution of 1918. One central time period of our investigation will be Weimar Germany (1919-1933) with its exciting metropolitan culture and reform-oriented politics in all areas of everyday life and culture: art, design and mass media, gender relations, healthcare, housing, and welfare. We also will study the hyperinflation of 1921-23 and the Great Depression and their consequences on politics and society, particularly the rise of conservatism and communism, militarism and National Socialism. The other central period will be the Third Reich (1933-1945) with its racist and imperialist policy that led to World War II and the Holocaust. We will examine not only the history of the NS state and its support by “Aryan Germans,” but also the persecution of political opponents and everybody labeled by the Nazis as socially and racially “unworthy” (Jews, Sinti and Roma, disabled persons, homosexuals etc.) as well as the resistance movement against the NS regime. Throughout the entire course one of the major questions will be in which ways the Janus face of Modern German history and culture influenced the interwar development and the long postwar in East and West Germany and in the united country today.

FORMAT OF THE COURSE The course will combine introductory lectures with regular discussions of assigned readings of secondary literature, as well as textual and visual primary documents. I will split up the class regularly in discussion groups and also will use partner work for the preparation of discussions. Participating in discussion is important both as a skill and as a learning opportunity. Preparation for and participation in the class discussions are therefore key requirements for this course. Students are not required to have prior knowledge of Germany or German history.

ASSIGNMENTS General Course Participation 10 % Weekly Written Forum Assignments 20% Primary Document Report I (c. 6-7 pages) (Due: Sept. 20, 2019) 15 % Primary Document Report II (c. 6-7 pages) (Due: Oct. 25, 2019) 25 % Final Examination (Film Analysis) (c. 7-8 pages) (Due: Dec. 6, 2019) 30 %

Class Participation (10%): Active class participation is very important in this course because after the introductory lectures, classes will focus on the discussion of the required reading — the secondary literature and the primary sources. Your participation grade will reflect your attendance and active participation in class. Read the required reading and primary documents, bring them to class and be prepared to discuss them. The secondary literature provides you with historical background information about the subject of class and also will help you to understand the primary documents. If you find that you have difficulty speaking in class, please see me to discuss strategies how you can participate more fully. You can make up a less active in- class participation by regular voluntary Forum contributions. This voluntary Forum contributions are due on Wednesday evening at 5 pm before the class. 3

Weekly Written Forum Assignments (20% of the final grade): An important part of your class work are the weekly obligatory written Forum assignments listed in the schedule below. Please submit a comment on all readings for the class (primary documents and the secondary reading) and three related questions that you would like to explore in class on the Sakai Forum. As an alternative to questions you can also comment on and respond to comments and questions of others on the Forum of the respective week. In this way, I hope to create a dialogue already before the class starts. Your comments and questions are due not later than 5 pm on the evening before the class. They should not be longer than 1 page. Report on two Primary Documents (15% and 25%): Every student will be responsible for writing two brief essays (6-7 pages) focusing on the analysis and interpretation of an assigned primary text document from different time periods of German history. I will place more detailed information for each of the two primary document reports on Sakai at least one week before each due date. Please submit an electronic file to the instructor before the class. Final Examination (Film Analysis) (30%) Every student will have to write a film essay (8-10 pages) of an assigned movie. I will pick a movie that we watched in class and assign related background reading. In addition, I expect that you use all relevant secondary readings from the class for the essay and search for additional material that will help you with the analysis and interpretation of the movie and its historical context in the UNC Library and online. I will place more detailed information on Sakai at least two weeks before the due date. Please submit an electronic file to the instructor before the class. General Comment: All papers should have 1-inch margins, be typed and double-spaced and the pages need to be numbered. Please don’t forget your name, the course number and name, and the date at the top of the cover page and make sure that you use all relevant readings of the course and if necessary additional literature for the assignments; document your sources in the footnotes and the bibliography of each paper with complete and correct citations. As common in history, use the Chicago Manual of Style for the writing of your notes and the bibliography. The preparation of all assignments will be discussed in class. A guide to the Chicago Manual of Style can be found on Sakai.

RULES OF THE ROAD 1. Read this syllabus carefully. You should consider it a contract between you and the professor. Your enrollment in the course signifies your agreement to adhere to it. Keep it for reference. 2. Attendance will be taken in every class and recitation section. Not more than three missed classes will be allowed. After four missed classes, your participation grade will go down ten points for every day you miss class or a recitation section. Thus, if you have a B+, your participation grade will fall to a C+ or if you have a C, your grade will fall to a D. However, you can make-up excused absences in any class and recitation sections with an additional 2-page primary document report. 3. No late papers or other written work will be accepted except in the case of documented dire emergencies. Remember to make back-up copies of your drafts and papers; a hard disk crash a day or two before papers are due is not an acceptable excuse for turning in a late paper. If you face problems with a deadline for a paper, please contact me in advance, we will surely find a solution that will help you! 4. Plagiarism: to take or pass off as one's own the ideas, key writings, etc. of another; to copy the exact words or to use key phrases from another author; to steal key ideas, even if you put them in your own words. If you do any of these things, without using a footnote to indicate your source, you are guilty of plagiarism. The exact words of another author must be put in quotation marks. Be forewarned that it is extremely easy to trace sources of plagiarism with software and on the web. If you plagiarize a paper you will receive a zero on that piece of work, and you will be subject to prosecution under the UNC Honor Code. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the Honor Code (instrument.unc.edu). 5. Cheating: In case of cheating, you will flunk the exam. We will also report delinquents to either the UNC Honor Court or the Duke Dean of Academic Affairs. Students may not bring any material related to the course to the final examination unless it is contained in a closed book bag or knapsack. It is your responsibility to be familiar with, and act according to, the universities’ honor codes. 6. Finally - Electronics: I support “old school” communication and note-taking during classes. Pen, paper and face-to-face dialogue reduce unnecessary distractions. Please turn off all electronic devices including, but not limited to, iPhones, cell phones, iPods or any other devices that ring, buzz or ding. These devices should be properly secured in your backpack and may not be used to make or take calls or for notation during discussion.
