Many of the projects and conferences the GHI supports focus on the broader trans- atlantic community. Conferences such as “Natural Disasters and Cultural Strategies” and “Historical Justice in International Perspective” have ex- plored the particular national experiences of events, developments, and trends that transcend national borders. In collaboration with our col- leagues at the German Historical Institute in London, we have also gath- ered scholars from across the globe on three occasions to reflect on the theory and practice of world history. The third of these conferences, held in Washington in the spring of 2005, focused on teaching world history. This issue of the Bulletin features the keynote lecture on the problem of conceptualizing world history by Arif Dirlik that opened the conference. World history, Professor Dirlik persuasively argues, is defined as much by the perspective it promotes—by its insistent questioning of established analytical categories and its focus on complexity—as by its subject matter. Like Dirlik’s model world historian, Timothy Garton Ash has de- voted his career to challenging conventional ways of looking at the world. As a chronicler-participant in Eastern Europe’s independent civic initia- tives during the 1980s, Garton Ash explained to readers in the West the alternative vision of a united and democratic Europe espoused by groups such as Poland’s Solidarity and activists like Vaclav Havel. With that vision now largely realized in the expanded European Union, Garton Ash has turned his attention to the broader ramifications of European inte- gration. Thanks to the generous support of the ZEIT Stiftung Gerd und Ebelin Bucerius, the GHI was able to invite Professor Garton Ash to Washington to share his thoughts on relations between the enlarged Eu- rope and the United States. True to form, Garton Ash called prevailing opinion into question by arguing against the widely held view that the transatlantic partnership has outlived its usefulness. The EU and the United States, he contends, can and should work together as strategic partners in building “an international community of democracies”. Professor Garton Ash’s lecture was typical of many of the GHI’s public events in bringing a historical perspective to contemporary issues and debates. Highlighting the pertinence of the past for the present was certainly one of the main objectives of the panel discussion the GHI organized last winter on the German suppression of the Herero uprising of 1904. German colonial forces employed not only conventional military tactics against the Hereros but also resorted to measures such as poison- GHI BULLETIN NO.37(FALL 2005) 7 ing water sources and cutting off access to food. This horrific chapter in the history of German imperialism is the subject of current political dis- cussion in both Germany and Namibia. At issue is not only the question of memory and commemoration, but also more immediately tangible matters such as aid policy and financial reparations. The suppression of the Herero revolt is also directly pertinent to ongoing debates on the definition of genocide and the use of military force against noncomba- tants. Three essays based upon presentations delivered at the panel dis- cussion “The Measure of Atrocity: The German War Upon the Hereros” appear in this issue of the Bulletin. Isabel Hull examines the military background to the German response to the Herero uprising. Gesine Krüger considers the contemporary import of colonial-era violence in Africa. Jürgen Zimmerer situates the massacre of the Hereros within the history of twentieth-century genocide. The GHI’s panel discussions and lecture programs serve as a forum for dialogue between the scholarly community and the broader public. Public outreach is an important part of the GHI’s mission. It thus was a great pleasure to offer the services of GHI research fellows Bernd Schaefer and Astrid Eckert on the two occasions this summer that producers at PBS’s “NewsHour with Jim Lehrer” called to ask if the GHI had someone on hand to help explain the day’s events from a historical perspective. The GHI has also been featured in the German press recently. Early this summer, several radio stations and newspapers, including the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, reported at length on the conferences “Animals in History: Studying the Not So Human Past,” held at the Literaturhaus Köln and “Turning Points in Environmental History,” jointly organized by the GHI and the University of Bielefeld’s Center for Interdisciplinary Studies. One recent public program had particular resonance for the GHI’s staff and many longtime supporters. The conference “War in an Age of Revolution” opened with a panel discussion on the concept of total war that provided occasion to pay tribute to one of the initiators of the GHI’s series of conferences on total war, GHI founding director Hartmut Leh- mann. This event probably came as close as any could to reflecting the diversity of Professor Lehmann’s scholarly interests. He has written widely on the cultural history of the early modern era as well on the points of intersection in the histories of Europe and the United States.

  • German Bundestag Motion
    German Bundestag Printed paper 18/5407 18th Electoral Term Date 01 July 2015 Motion submitted by Members of the Bundestag Niema Movassat, Wolfgang Gehrcke, Jan van Aken, Christine Buchholz, Sevim Daǧdelen, Dr. Diether Dehm, Annette Groth, Heike Hänsel, Inge Höger, Andrej Hunko, Ulla Jelpke, Katrin Kunert, Stefan Liebich, Dr. Alexander S. Neu, Alexander Ulrich, Dr. Sahra Wagenknecht and The LEFT PARTY parliamentary group Reconciliation with Namibia – remembrance and apology for the genocide in the former colony of German South-West Africa The German Bundestag is requested to adopt the following motion: I. The German Bundestag notes: 1. The German Bundestag remembers the atrocities perpetrated by the colonial troops of the German Empire in the former colony of German South-West Africa, and commemorates the victims of massacres, expulsions, expropriation, forced labour, rape, medical experiments, deportations and inhuman confinement in concentration camps. The war of extermination waged by German colonial troops in the years 1904 to 1908 resulted in the death of up to 80 percent of the Herero people, more than half of the Nama people, and a large part of the Damara and San ethnic groups. 2. The German Bundestag acknowledges the heavy burden of guilt that the German colonial troops incurred by carrying out these crimes against the Herero, Nama, Damara and San peoples. These war crimes, expulsions and massacres committed by the German Empire were genocide. The orders issued by Lieutenant General Lothar von Trotha on 2 October 1904 against the Herero and on 22 April 1905 against the Nama, along with the actual warfare that ensued, are clear evidence of the exterminatory intent towards these ethnic groups, which later also claimed the lives of Damara and San people.

  • Renaming Streets, Inverting Perspectives: Acts of Postcolonial Memory Citizenship in Berlin
    Focus on German Studies 20 41 Renaming Streets, Inverting Perspectives: Acts Of Postcolonial Memory Citizenship In Berlin Jenny Engler Humbolt University of Berlin n October 2004, the local assemblyman Christoph Ziermann proposed a motion to rename “Mohrenstraße” (Blackamoor Street) in the city center of Berlin (BVV- Mitte, “Drucksache 1507/II”) and thereby set in train a debate about how to deal Iwith the colonial past of Germany and the material and semantic marks of this past, present in public space. The proposal was discussed heatedly in the media, within the local assembly, in public meetings, in university departments, by historians and linguists, by postcolonial and anti-racist activists, by developmental non-profit organizations, by local politicians, and also by a newly founded citizens’ initiative, garnering much atten- tion. After much attention was given to “Mohrenstraße,” the issue of renaming, finally came to include the so-called African quarter in the north of Berlin, where several streets named after former colonial regions and, most notably, after colonial actors are located. The proposal to rename “Mohrenstraße” was refused by the local assembly. Nev- ertheless, the assembly passed a resolution that encourages the “critical examination of German colonialism in public streets” (BVV-Mitte, “Drucksache 1711/II”) and, ultimately, decided to set up an information board in the so-called African quarter in order to contextualize the street names (BVV-Mitte, “Drucksache 2112/III”). How- ever, the discussion of what the “critical

  • The Visual Archive of Colonialism: Germany and Namibia
    Photo-essay The Visual Archive of Colonialism: Germany and Namibia George Steinmetz and Julia Hell Colonial memories and images occupy a paradoxi- cal place in Germany. This is due in part to the peculiarities of German colo- nial history, but it also reflects another aspect of German exceptionalism — the legacy of Nazism and the Holocaust. In recent years German colonialism in Southwest Africa (Namibia) has been widely discussed, especially with respect to the attempted extermination of the Ovaherero people in 1904. For reasons explored in this article, these discussions of Germany’s involvement in Southwest Africa have created new and unexpected discursive connections that are reshap- ing colonial memories in both Germany and Namibia. One possible outcome could be a belated decolonization of the landscape of colonial memory in both countries. Postwar Germany was long preoccupied with its National Socialist prehistory; the German colonial past has only started to come into focus more recently.1 The years 2004 – 5 saw numerous commemorative events around the centenary of the 1904 German genocide of the Namibian Ovaherero people and the completion of the controversial Berlin Holocaust Memorial. On one level this is mere coinci- dence. At the same time, there is an increasing entanglement of these two central political topics. But little research has been done on the visual archive of German colonialism, in contrast to the extensive studies made of the public circulation of Thanks to Johannes von Moltke for helping us with the research into the November 2004 von Trotha – Maherero meeting. 1. For a discussion of the ways in which the formerly divided country’s Nazi past was thematized anew after 1989, see Julia Hell and Johannes von Moltke, “Unification Effects: Imaginary Land- scapes of the Berlin Republic,” in “The Cultural Logics of the Berlin Republic,” ed.

  • Cologne Cathedral
    Arnold Wol Cologne Cathedral Its History – Its Artworks Edited and extended by Barbara Schock-Werner About this Cathedral Guide Arnold Wol, who was ‘Dombaumeister’ (cathedral architect) at Cologne Cathedral between 1972 and 1998, created this guide in collaboration with Greven Verlag, Cologne. His wealth of knowledge on the history of the cathedral and his profound knowledge of the interior have both gone into this book, and there are no other publications that do justice to both of these aspects in equal measure. is book presents the reader with the full spectrum and signicance of the architectural and artistic creations that Cologne Cathedral has on oer. In addition, the fold-out oor plan is a useful orientation aid that allows cathedral visitors to search for informa- tion on individual objects. Six editions of this book have now been published. Arnold Wol has overseen all of them. For this new edition he has tasked me with bringing the text up to date in line with the latest research and introducing the new- ly added artworks. e publisher has taken this opportunity to implement a new layout as well. Nevertheless, for me this guide remains rmly linked with the name of the great ‘Dombaumeister’ Arnold Wol. Barbara Schock-Werner Former Dombaumeister (1999–2012) Hint for using this guide: in the text that follows, the architectural features are labelled with capital letters, the furnishings, fittings, artworks, and other interesting objects with numbers.
