They talk with each other, go to school to- gether, and are friends and work colleagues. Our city has a long tradition of integrating immigrants, because we have always viewed integration as an opportunity for our society as well as for our city. Over the centuries, we as a society have learnt that people from other countries can be an asset to all us if we welcome them and give them the same opportunities as our children. In this process, ‘integration’ has been and still remains a hot topic of discussion. The question of ‘To what extent do we allow participation?’ has always been at the heart of this debate, with the demand for refugees to actively play a part in their own integration also being heavily focused on. The goal of the Senate of Hamburg states that: ‘Each and Predefi ned target values are what makes the Hamburg every person is a part of our society and should be able Integration Concept so special.

  • 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.

  • Hamburg Slides Including Speech Barcelona EIPA 160429 EN Final
    Colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for inviting me to today’s event. I am delighted to take this opportunity to present to you the cornerstones of Hamburg’s regional participatory governance approach concerning the local energy transition. I am particularly grateful to the organizers of this international conference and to our wonderful hosts – Spain, the Province of Barcelona in Cataluña and the beautiful city of Barcelona. I hope to have time to see more of the city. The economist Mancur Olson once said: “The rise or decline of a nation depends on the extent to which its society is capable of institutional change.” A significant condition of this capability for change is political participation by citizens as a foundation of democracy. But there is disagreement about the forms, methods and scope of participation. By public participation we mean the participation of the public in political decision-making and shaping the political context. We do not see the term as being clearly defined, but it usually denotes participation that goes beyond electing political representatives to parliament. The term is applied to decisions in local politics and planning. 1 To begin with, a few words on my Energy Department. It consists of 6 sections with a staff of about 45. We provide intensive support to business enterprises and households in Hamburg in their effort for energy conservation, increasing energy efficiency, and use of renewable energies; we are doing this mainly by providing promotion programmes, consultation services and networking. Before I go into public participation in Hamburg in more detail, though, I would like to tell you a little about our city.

  • The Jews and Germans of Hamburg: the Destruction of a Civilization 1790-1945
    Published on Reviews in History (https://reviews.history.ac.uk) The Jews and Germans of Hamburg: The Destruction of a Civilization 1790-1945 Review Number: 1228 Publish date: Friday, 30 March, 2012 Author: John Grenville ISBN: 9780415665865 Date of Publication: 2012 Price: £24.99 Pages: 384pp. Publisher: Routledge Publisher url: Place of Publication: New York, NY Reviewer: Tim Grady This book is more than just a history of the German-Jewish communities before and during the Holocaust. It is also part memoir, part impassioned response to the National Socialists’ ‘destruction of a civilization’. This breadth, though, should come as no surprise. For the book’s author, the late John Grenville, was himself a Holocaust survivor. Born and raised in Berlin, he escaped Nazi Germany through the Kindertransport scheme in 1939. Sadly, as he notes in the preface to the volume, this history may well ‘be the last’ from someone who personally ‘lived through the Nazi years’ (p. xiii). Crucially, however, this book is not just a reflection of personal memories, it is also a solid, scholarly account, based on over 30 years of archival research. Indeed, Grenville has brought to bear on the project his long experience as Professor of Modern History at the University of Birmingham and as editor of the Leo Baeck Institute Yearbook. The result of Grenville’s endeavours is a very readable and at times stimulating history of the Nazi regime’s gradual destruction of German-Jewish life. The book that Grenville has written, however, is one that is very different from that which might be imagined from the publisher’s title.

  • Policing, Traffic Safety Education and Citizenship in Post-1945 West Germany
    Policing, Traffic Safety Education and Citizenship in post-1945 West Germany To be published in Journal of Contemporary History Introduction A photograph, taken in the German city of Dessau in autumn 1948, shows a policeman carrying out traffic policing. He was standing on a pedestal in an empty street crossing with ruins in the background.1 The photograph was part of the newspaper coverage of the city’s traffic safety week (literally ‘traffic education week’). Historians have examined the problems understaffed police forces faced throughout Germany in the immediate post-war years.2 With large-scale black market activities, rising crime rates, food and material shortage, marauding gangs and badly equipped policemen, traffic education was, we might believe, not high up on the official agenda. But before the rubble was cleared and well before urban planners implemented ideas accommodating traffic through spatial changes and Autostädte ,3 traffic education weeks took place throughout Germany. Leipzig held its first in December 1945; Hamburg, Berlin Dortmund, Lünen and Castrop-Rrauxel followed in late 1946. 4 A year later, the Soviet zone of occupation staged its safety campaign which was repeated in 1949 by the newly established German Democratic Republic. The Federal Republic of Germany followed suit in 1950. Traffic safety education and traffic policing happened here, although mass motorisation was far from a reality—a fact that already hints at another purpose of these events. 1 Bundesarchiv (hereafter BArch) Berlin, DO1/25592, Verkehrserziehungswoche 1948, Bilder u.
