Vor allem das Wirken deutscher Revolutionäre wie Carl Schurz, Friedrich Hecker, Gustav Struve und Franz Sigel in Amerika ist hier weitestgehend unbekannt. Deshalb ist das Denkmal für die sogenannten Forty- Eighters eine große Chance an die wechselseitige Einflussnahme beim Aufbau stabiler Demokratien auf beiden Seiten des Ozeans zu erinnern.“ Der damalige Chef des Bundespräsidialamtes, David Gill, schrieb mir: „Es liegt dem Bundespräsidenten sehr am Herzen, das Bewusstsein für die gemeinsame Freiheits- und Demokratietradition der USA und Deutschlands aufrechtzuerhalten.“ Weiter bekundeten Sympathie für das Projekt u.a.

The Intersection of Gender, Religion, and Culture in Nineteenth-Century
THE INTERSECTION OF GENDER, RELIGION, AND CULTURE IN NINETEENTH‐ CENTURY GERMANIC SALONS Jennifer Lauren Psujek A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August: 2010 Committee: Mary Natvig, Advisor Eftychia Papanikolaou ii ABSTRACT Mary Natvig, Advisor Modern salons began as gatherings for conversation among the French aristocracy in the seventeenth century. By the eighteenth century it had become a bourgeois tradition, with its importance cumulating in the French Revolution. The French salon moved to Germany and Austria in the late eighteenth century, however, its heyday in those lands was in the nineteenth century. The salon became a place where women in both France and the Germanic lands could gain an education and power. What has yet to be discussed in scholarship is the extent to which the salon in the Germanic lands moved away from its French roots and Became its own unique tradition. First, purely musical salons began during the Biedermeier period, as will be seen when examining the German salons of Sara Levy, Amalie Beer, Lea Mendelssohn, Fanny Mendelssohn‐Hensel, and Clara Wieck‐Schumann. Second, Germany and Austria saw the first salons hosted by Jewish women. This thesis highlights those of Henriette Herz, Rahel Levin‐Varnhagen, Fanny von Arnstein, Sara Levy, Amalie Beer, Lea Mendelssohn, Fanny Mendelssohn‐Hensel, Berta Zuckerkandl, and Salka Viertel. Finally, to demonstrate the benefits of Germanic salon culture, the last chapter focuses on Johanna Kinkel’s involvement with the Berlin salon tradition. Kinkel was a composer, writer, and political activist.

Heroes of the Exile
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels The Heroes of the Exile Written: May-June 1852; First Published: In Russian 1930, German MEW 1960; Translated by: Rodney Livingston Transcription/Markup: Andy Blunden 2002; Proofed and corrected by Mark Harris, 2010. Not often one can use a word like hilarious with Karl and Fred (though Fred was usually a much more lively and rapid writer), but Heroes of the Exile can be very funny. Wasn't published in his lifetime, though he intended it to be... (that is, it wasn't an “unfinished work” in the sense the Economic and Philsophical Manuscripts were, say).Here's a snippet from translator Rodney Livingstone's 1970 intro to Heroes -- This pamphlet is one of Marx's most brilliant satirical achievements. Its excellence as satire stands out all the more clearly for the fact that, unlike many of his other works which have a satirical element, the prime purpose of the work is satirical: a polemic on the world of German emigres with its venomous internecine struggles, its petty personality conflicts, complicated intrigues, pretentious political manoeuvres and sordid compromises with the realities of living in exile with “dubious sources of income”.It would be a mistake to suppose that the work was actuated by malice, that it was merely a series of personal attacks on people who irritated Marx. It is often supposed that Marx was essentially a heavy, humourless man and that if his works contain humour it is the expression only of a ponderous, “Germanic” predilection for sarcasm without true wit or feeling. His talent for polemic is then seen as springing from an almost obsessive compulsion to win, to be in the right, to beat down all opposition.

Johanna Kinkel's Thurm Und Fluth

Johanna Kinkel (1810‐1858) has for a long time been overshadowed by her husband, Gottfried Kinkel (1815‐1882), who was an influential German political propagandist in the 19th century. When he was arrested as a result of a pre‐unionist revolutionary speech in 1849, Johanna was not allowed to visit him, because the state es‐ timated her influence as being harmful for Gottfried’s peace of mind and his indoctrination. In fact, Johanna Kinkel was the co‐founder of the political magazine Maikäfer and she expressed her sympathy for her husband’s political activities in many letters and diary entries. Another interesting avenue to her political perceptions is her musical Œuvre including more than 80 art songs, three cantatas as well as incidental music. This paper aims to introduce Johanna Kinkel’s lied Thurm und Fluth, Opus 19, No. 6, which was published in 1848, one of the most eventful years on the way from scattered regionalism to a united Germany. The consistently ambiguous words are deliv‐ ered through a broad variety of compositional features, ranging from traditional formal aspects to fairly experi‐ mental harmonic and melodic progressions.

Looking Back: When Does the ‘War of the Spirits’ Start?
Appendix Looking Back: When does the ‘War of the Spirits’ Start? George L. Mosse begins his classic analysis of German ideology in the 1870s, at a time when the unification of the country and the rise of industry evoked a fierce critical re- sponse from a section of the intellectual elite.1 The movement against modernisation continued to grow from then on, accelerating at the turn of the century and engaging with anti-Semitism and racism. During World War I, motifs and arguments previously mobilised for condemning the degradation wreaked by civilisation were deployed in the “war of the spirits.” They were aimed at the outside, against the enemies of the nation and the state. The point of departure for this process appears to have been as fascinating as its results. Did phenomena typical of the ‘war of the spirits’ appear in the early years of the “crisis of German ideology” as well, when the Reich was inaugurated? The outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War did not involve a national mobilisation at first. Both French and German journalists depicted it as a clash of world powers that would naturally conclude with the victory of their own side. At that point, declara- tions of faith in one’s nation’s capabilities did not yet require the demonising the op- ponent. This changed in September 1870, as a result of the inconceivable failure of the French army. Following the Emperor’s capitulation and the proclamation of the Third Republic, a juxtaposition between French civilisation and German barbarism emerged in public discourse along with revolutionary calls for a nationwide rout of the invaders.

European Forty‑Eighters' Fundraising Tours in the United States1
STUDIA HISTORICA GEDANENSIA TOM V (2014) István Kornél Vida (University of Debrecen) “Passing the Plate for Revolution”: European Forty‑Eighters’ Fundraising Tours in the United States1 Historian George Macaulay Trevelyan called the European revolutions of 1848/49 "one of the turning points in human history when history actually failed to turn”.2 Nevertheless, for several months autocracy stamping on individual freedoms in so many countries seemed defeated and hopes were high that it would be replaced for good through national unification and the installation of popular self‑governments. The Spring of Nations affected over 50 countries one way or another, but eventually no co‑operation developed among the various revolutionary groups in different countries. Among several other factors, this resulted in the reactionary forces bracing up again and, sometimes with foreign assistance, managed to supress the revolutionary movements. Monarchy, conservativism and restoration prevailed in France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Hungary. Those hoping for change had to do with only a handful of lasting reforms: serfdom was abolished once and for all in Austria‑Hungary and in the Ausgleich of 1867 Emperor Francis Joseph had no other option but to give Hungarians more self‑determination. The absolute monarchy collapsed in Denmark and Louis Philippe of France was forced to abdicate in 1848 and live in exile in England. The defeat of freedom struggles was followed by brutal retaliation: the powers of restoration, shaken and insecure as they were, wanted to make sure that no such attempt could endanger their authority. In Hungary, the only country where the conflict had reached the scale of an all‑out war of independence to be suppressed only with the more‑than‑willing intervention by the troops of Russian 1 The article was written with the generous support of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, for which I am most grateful.
