In Frankfurt, he preached at the American Christ Chapel, in Düsseldorf at the Rheinstadium, and two days later he closed his first German campaign with a service at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Thousands came to see him and hundreds stepped forward at the end of the service to publicly accept Christ as their Savior. Another campaign fol- lowed in 1955. The American preacher then returned to Germany again dur- ing the 1960s, and his work there peaked in 1970 with his EURO 70 campaign.1 Graham’s campaigns in Germany were not foreign spectacles, but rites of passage in German Protestantism.

    THEODOR-HEUSS-KOLLOQUIUM 2017 Liberalismus und Nationalsozialismus – eine Beziehungsgeschichte Helke Rausch Liberalismus und Nationalsozialismus bei Ernst Jäckh – liberaler Phoenix, Grenzgänger und atlantischer „Zivil-Apostel“ Momentaufnahme einer inszenierten Beziehungsgeschichte: Jäckh und Hitler in Berlin, April 1933 In seiner Eigenschaft als langjähriger Leiter der Deutschen Hochschule für Politik in Berlin 1920 bis 1933 kam Ernst Jäckh 1933 zu seinem unmittelbarsten Direktkontakt mit dem neu- en Regime und seinem „Führer“. Jäckh stand unter akutem Handlungsdruck, sich gegenüber den neuen Machthabern zu positionieren. Während er in seinen Memoiren und andernorts ein hagiographisches Bild von seiner eigenen Überlegenheit und Widerständigkeit im Um- gang mit Hitler zeichnete, demzufolge er phoenixgleich als standhaft liberaler Regimegegner dem Diktator entgegentrat,1 konnte er trotz dieser auf den Erhalt der Hochschule zielenden Unterredung seine Institution nicht halten. Wie auch immer Jäckhs Beziehungsstrategie ge- genüber dem NS Anfang 1933 ausgesehen haben mag, sein Kalkül schlug gründlich fehl. Er musste das übergriffige Regime gewähren lassen. Die offizielle Gleichschaltung der Hoch- schule zog sich zwar noch bis 1937 hin, bevor das Institut als Reichsanstalt firmieren und schließlich 1940 den „Auslandswissenschaften“ als dezidierten NS-Politikwissenschaften zu- geordnet werden sollte. 2 Schon zuvor aber löste Jäckh den Verein Deutsche Hochschule für Politik e.V.

From within the fields of theater and performance studies, “The Ambivalence of Resistance: West German Antiauthoritarian Performance after the Age of Affluence” approaches this question historically. It surveys the types of performance that decolonization and New Left movements in 1960s West Germany used to engage reconfigurations in the global labor process and the emergence of anti-imperialist struggles internationally, from documentary drama and happenings to direct action tactics like street blockades and building occupations.

  • The Groko Effect: Does the Popularity of CDU/CSU and SPD Suffer from Grand Coalitions?
    The GroKo Effect: Does the Popularity of CDU/CSU and SPD Suffer from Grand Coalitions? Thomas Drechsel∗ London School of Economics This is work in progress. Please contact me if you have suggestions. April 4, 2018 Abstract This paper attempts to systematically assess the effect of government coalitions between the CDU/CSU and the SPD (\GroKos") on subsequent election outcomes of the two parties, using data on both federal and state elections in Germany over around 70 years. The key idea is to use the recurring presence of more than 30 of such coalitions at the state level to gain insight on their subsequent effects, exploiting the relative stability and homogeneity of the German party system across time and space. I show purely descriptively that the average change in vote shares after being the junior (senior) partner in a GroKo is -2.68 (-0.34) percentage points for the CDU/CSU and -2.58 (+0.85) percentage points for the SPD. This suggests a generally asymmetric effect between junior and senior coalition partners, and different effects between the two parties. A more formal statistical analysis, in which I control for other election and government characteristics as well as year and/or state fixed effects, reveals that junior (senior) partners consistently lose out (gain) after GroKos, and that the effects are stronger and statistically more significant for the SPD than for the CDU/CSU. ∗Department of Economics and Centre for Macroeconomics, London School of Economics.

  • Ich Bin Ein Berliner: Beyond Jelly Doughnuts DEBRA PARCELL
    Ich Bin ein Berliner: Beyond Jelly Doughnuts DEBRA PARCELL Abstract Delivered in the midst of the Cold Wa.r; John F. Kennedy's brief speech in front of the Berlin Wall proclaimed solidarity with the German people._Although the final words of the speech, "!ch bin ein Berliner", could theoretically have been interpreted to mean "I am a jelly dough­ nut", the crowds in attendance understood precisely his meaning. This paper will examine the background of the speech, Kennedy's reaction to the Berlin wall, and the authenticity of his sentiments, while discrediting the myth of misinterpretation. The significance of this speech lies in providing credibility with Berliners that would allow Kennedy to argue for coex­ istence with the Communists, and defusing potentially volatile East-West animosities, rather than debate over German syntax and jelly doughnuts. "For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder." This line from Paul's second letter to the church at Corinth is used as a curious opening line in der Spiegel's June 26, 1963 article on JFK's recent visit to Germany and his impassioned speech in Berlin. Delivered by Kenne­ dy in the midst of the Cold War as thousands of Germans thronged the streets to listen, it pro­ claimed solidarity with the German people as he stated, "all free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin ..

    OUTPOST OF FREEDOM: A GERMAN-AMERICAN NETWORK’S CAMPAIGN TO BRING COLD WAR DEMOCRACY TO WEST BERLIN, 1933-72 Scott H. Krause A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 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 Klaus W. Larres Susan Dabney Pennybacker Donald M. Reid Benjamin Waterhouse © 2015 Scott H. Krause ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Scott H. Krause: Outpost of Freedom: A German-American Network’s Campaign to bring Cold War Democracy to West Berlin, 1933-66 (under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) This study explores Berlin’s sudden transformation from the capital of Nazi Germany to bastion of democracy in the Cold War. This project has unearthed how this remarkable development resulted from a transatlantic campaign by liberal American occupation officials, and returned émigrés, or remigrés, of the Marxist Social Democratic Party (SPD). This informal network derived from members of “Neu Beginnen” in American exile. Concentrated in wartime Manhattan, their identity as German socialists remained remarkably durable despite the Nazi persecution they faced and their often-Jewish background. Through their experiences in New Deal America, these self-professed “revolutionary socialists” came to emphasize “anti- totalitarianism,” making them suspicious of Stalinism. Serving in the OSS, leftists such as Hans Hirschfeld forged friendships with American left-wing liberals. These experiences connected a wider network of remigrés and occupiers by forming an epistemic community in postwar Berlin. They recast Berlin’s ruins as “Outpost of Freedom” in the Cold War.
