  • The Friedland Refugee Transit Camp As Regulating Humanitarianism, 1945-1960
    “GATEWAY TO FREEDOM”: THE FRIEDLAND REFUGEE TRANSIT CAMP AS REGULATING HUMANITARIANISM, 1945-1960 DEREK JOHN HOLMGREN A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher R. Browning Chad Bryant Tobias Hof Donald J. Raleigh © 2015 Derek John Holmgren ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Derek John Holmgren: “Gateway to Freedom”: The Friedland Refugee Transit Camp as Regulating Humanitarianism, 1945-1960 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) Using the refugee transit camp located in Friedland, Lower Saxony as a case study, this dissertation examines the efforts in West Germany to aid and resettle millions of persons displaced during and after World War II. These uprooted populations included foreign victims of the Nazi regime (forced laborers, prisoners of war, and concentration camp survivors), Germans evacuated from bombed-out cities, Germans fleeing or expelled from from Eastern Europe, and German soldiers who were demobilized and released from prisoner of war camps. Established by order of the British military government in September 1945, the camp at Friedland functioned as the lynchpin for a system designed to collect, aid, register, and resettle displaced populations as quickly as possible. As such, this study describes the operation of the camp as a regulating form of humanitarianism that not only aided refugees with food, shelter, and medical services, but also turned unmanageable masses into settled individuals with claims on the postwar welfare state. Between 1945 and 1960, the camp processed over 2.1 million individuals.

  • Die Saurierfährten Im Naturdenkmal Münchehagen
    Mitt. geol. Inst. S.3-59, 28 Abb., Hannover ISSN 0440-2812 37 Univ. Hannover 1Tab. 15. Sept. 1998 DIE SAURIERFÄHRTEN IM NATURDENKMAL MÜNCHEHAGEN von Rudolf Fischer Kurzfassung: Die etwa 15.000 m2 große Sohlfläche eines aufgelassenen Steinbruchs in den Rehburger Bergen westlich Hannover, in dem quarzitische Sandsteine des Berriasiums abgebaut wurden, erschließt ca. 256 Trittsiegel von Sauropoden. Ein Teil davon läßt sich zu ;8 Fährten gruppieren, darunter die von Hendricks 1981 als Rotundiclmus muenchehagensis beschriebene. Eine weitere Fährte stammt von einem biped laufenden Saurier mit vogelartig gebautem Fuß. Die Saurier lebten in kleinen Gruppen im semiaquatischen, vegetationsreichen Milieu eines Flußmündungssystems, das gegen das offene Niedersächsische Becken durch Sandbarren abgeschlossen war. Abstract: Nearly 256 footprints of sauropods are exposed on the floor of an abandoned quarry, situated west of Hannover, where quartzitic sandstones of Berriasian age were formeriy exploited. A part of the traces can be grouped to 8 tracks, one of which was named Rotundichnus muenche­ hagensis by Hendricks 1981. Additionally, a track composed of bird-like footprints of a biped dinosaur is present. The dinosaurs lived within the semiaquatic, densely wooded estuary System, which was protected by sand bars against the open sea of the Lower Saxonian Basin. Inhalt 1.

  • ENGULFED in the GULF? on a Search for Europe’S Future Role in a Turbulent Region
    DRAFT PROGRAM 25 - 26 November 2020 ENGULFED IN THE GULF? On A Search for Europe’s Future Role in A Turbulent Region WEDNESDAY 25 – THURSDAY 26 November 2020 Protestant Academy Loccum The Gulf is a region in turmoil that faces numerous challenges. For Europe this region is crucial. Located in its closer vicinity, all negative developments and trends that the Gulf region sees are felt with only slight delays in Europe. It was often said that Europe is only at the sideline when it comes to the Gulf and that only the big powers such as the United States have a say in the region. However, the nuclear deal with Iran which EU member states helped to negotiate since 2003 onward, shows that Europe could play a positive role in the region and that it has stakes in the game if it only accepts the challenge of thinking and acting strategically in a joint way. The purpose of this conference is to elaborate on Europe’s future role in the Gulf region and about which policy fields the EU and its member states could address in the upcoming years to contribute to a more stable, peaceful, and prosperous region. You are cordially welcomed to join! Organizational Remarks Due to the current COVID-19 crisis, this conference will be held in a hybrid format meaning that speakers and participants have the chance to contribute to the discussion either by actually traveling to Loccum or by taking advantage of a video link that will provide you digital access to the discussion. Since our event is held in a spacious conference compound on the country-side in Northern Germany and since we are implementing a strict scheme on hygienic and social distancing rules , we are very well equipped to hold physical events and cordially invite all speakers and participants who wish to travel to Loccum.
