Frankfort on the Main, with 90,922 inhab. (including a gar rison of 3000 soldiers, 20,000 Rom. Cath., and 8000 Jews), former ly a free town of the Empire, and down to 1866 one of the free towns of the German Confederation and the seat of the Diet, now belongs to Prussia. Old watch-towers in the vicinity indicate the ex tent of the ancient city. It is situated in a spacious plain bounded by mountains, on the r. bank of the Main, which is navigable for vessels of considerable size. On the 1. bank of the river lies Sachsenhausen, a suburb con nected with Frankfurt by a stone bridge, and by an iron suspension bridge. In a commercial point of view, and particularly owing to the great financial transactions which take place here, Frankfort is one of the most important cities in Germany. The old part of the town consists of narrow and uninviting streets, but the Zeil, the Mainzer-Str., Taunus-Str., and the quays on the Main boast of many handsome modern buildings. The town is surrounded by ‘Anlagen', or public grounds, where many taste fully built residences are situated. The air of wealth and impor tance which pervades the city affords an index of the success and extent of its commercial relations. Frankfort dates from the time of Charlemagne. In 794 that emperor held a convocation of bishops and dignitaries of the empire in the royal residence “Franconofurt (ford of the Franks). Louis the Pious granted the town certain privileges in 822, and from the time of Louis the German, who frequently resided at Frankfort, it gradually rose to importance. In 1240 Frederick II. sanctioned the Autumn Fair. Under Lewis the Bava rian, who conferred on the town the freedom of the empire and many other privileges, Frankfort was again much extended and almost reached the present limits of the inner city. By the Golden Bull of Charles IV., Frankfort was destined in 1856 to be the Town of Election of the German Empire, and the majority of the emperors were chosen here. On the dis solution of the Empire in 1806, Frankfort, with Aschaffenburg, Hanau, Fulda, and Wetzlar, was made over as a Grand-duchy to Carl von Dalberg, Primate of the Rhenish Confederation, and previously Archbishop of Mayence. From 1814–66 it was one of the four free cities of the German Confederation, and in 1866 was taken by the Prussians. On entering the town from the railway-station on the W. side, the first object which arrests the eye is the *Monument of Guten Römer. FRANKFORT. 26. Route. 149 berg (Pl. 22), erected in 1858, a galvano-plastic group on a sand stone pedestal, executed by Ed. v. d. Launitz. The central figure with the types in the 1. hand is Gutenberg, on his r. Fust, on his 1. Schöffer. On the frieze are portrait-heads of thirteen celebrated printers, with Caxton among them. In the four niches beneath are the arms of the four towns where printing was first practised, Mainz, Frankfort, Venice, Strassburg. On four separate pedestals are Theo logy, Poetry, Natural Science, and Industry. The heads of four ani mals, which serve as water-spouts, indicate the four quarters of the globe and the universal diffusion of the invention. In the neigh bouring Junghof-Strasse is the * Permanent Erhibition of Art (see p. 147). The Goethe-Platz, which adjoins the Rossmarkt on the N., is embellished with Schwanthaler’s “Monument of Goethe (Pl. 20), erected in 1844. The poet holds a wreath of laurel in his left hand. The reliefs on the pedestal are illustrative of his literary life. In front (S. side) are represented Natural Science, Dramatic and Lyric Poetry; on the E. side Orestes and Thoas (Iphigenia), Faust and Mephistopheles; on the N. side (r.) Götz von Berlichingen, Egmont, and Tasso, (1.) the Bride of Corinth, the god and the bayadere, Pro metheus, and the Erl-king with the child; on the W. side (r.) Mignon with Wilhelm Meister and the harper, (1.) Hermann and Dorothea. The house in which Goethe was born (Pl. 28), in the Hirschgra ben, near the Rossmarkt, bears an inscription recording the birth of the poet on 28th August, 1749. The arms over the door, consis ting of three lyres placed obliquely and a star, were chosen by Goe the's father on his marriage with the daughter of the senator Textor, from their resemblance to a horse-shoe, the grandfather of the poet having been a farrier. In the attics facing the court the poet lived in 1773–75, and wrote his ‘Götz' and “Werther'; they were also the scene of the adventures which render his biography so interesting.

  • The Venetian Conspiracy
    The Venetian Conspiracy « Against Oligarchy – Table of Contents Address delivered to the ICLC Conference near Wiesbaden, Germany, Easter Sunday, 1981; (appeared in Campaigner, September, 1981) Periods of history marked, like the one we are living through, by the convulsive instability of human institutions pose a special challenge for those who seek to base their actions on adequate and authentic knowledge of historical process. Such knowledge can come only through viewing history as the lawful interplay of contending conspiracies pitting Platonists against their epistemological and political adversaries. There is no better way to gain insight into such matters than through the study of the history of the Venetian oligarchy, the classic example of oligarchical despotism and evil outside of the Far East. Venice called itself the Serenissima Republica (Serene Republic), but it was no republic in any sense comprehensible to an American, as James Fenimore Cooper points out in the preface to his novel The Bravo. But its sinister institutions do provide an unmatched continuity of the most hideous oligarchical rule for fifteen centuries and more, from the years of the moribund Roman Empire in the West to the Napoleonic Wars, only yesterday in historical terms. Venice can best be thought of as a kind of conveyor belt, transporting the Babylonian contagions of decadent antiquity smack dab into the world of modern states. The more than one and one-half millennia of Venetian continuity is first of all that of the oligarchical families and the government that was their stooge, but it is even more the relentless application of a characteristic method of statecraft and political intelligence.

Genealogical Table VII Page 260 of 408 The Heyder Family Page 261 of 408 The Heyder Family Page 262 of 408 The Heyder Family JOHANN GEORG ARLEDTER As already mentioned, the third daughter of Johann FRIEDRICH v. Heyder was MARIA CHRISTINA v. HEYDER. She was born on 30th Jan.1750, and she continued to live with her widowed mother in the house at No.18 Kornmarkt at Frankfort on Main, until 30th Nov.1779, when she married JOHANN GEORG ARLEDTER. Page 263 of 408 The Heyder Family Her husband became a partner in the family Bank of “Heyder & Co.”, and on the expressed wish of the family, he assumed the name of HEYDER and was thereafter known as: JOHANN GEORG HEYDER-ARLEDTER. In the previous September Arledter had applied for Burgher Rights at Frankfort on Main, and his letter to the Town Council runs as follows: - "Esteemed, worthy, and honourable etc, Burgomaster and Council. As Divine Providence has favoured me in the acceptance of a proposal of marriage which I have made to the unmarried daughter of Herr Heyder, lately Burgher and Banker of this Town, and as her widowed Mother, and my Parents have respectively given their consent and heartfelt blessing for this proposed marriage, I wish now to receive the happiness of being granted by Your esteemed, worthy, and honourable etc Selves, the Rights of a Burgher of this Town.

  • Cosmopolitan Networks German Historical Institute London Bulletin Supplement No
    Cosmopolitan Networks German Historical Institute London Bulletin Supplement No. 2 GENERAL EDITOR: Andreas Gestrich Cosmopolitan Networks in Commerce and Society 1660–1914 EDITED BY ANDREAS GESTRICH AND MARGRIT SCHULTE BEERBÜHL GERMAN HISTORICAL INSTITUTE LONDON © German Historical Institute London, 2011 Published by the German Historical Institute London 17 Bloomsbury Square, London WC1A 2NJ, UK 2011 ISSN 0269-8552 FOREWORD The present volume is the outcome of an international workshop held at the German Historical Institute London in December 2007. The workshop focused on the study of economic and social networks which contributed to the interconnecting of distant regions. From the late Middle Ages, European merchants of different ethnic origins engaged in international trade, settled in the leading port cities of the time, and frequently mixed with the local elites, not only in Europe, but increasingly worldwide. The networks they created soon became global in their geographical dimension. Whether they were cosmo- politan in quality, that is, whether they not only connected distant places, but also initiated a process of mediating various cultures through the encounter of people of diverse ethnic origins and cultur- al backgrounds, was one of the questions asked by this workshop. This focus on the quality of network relations and interactions rather than their quantitative dimensions sets this workshop apart from the growing number of conferences and volumes on merchants’ net- works in general. In the process of preparing this book for publication the editors have incurred many debts. Apart from the authors, we would like to thank all the other participants in the workshop for their contribu- tions and comments, in particular, Thomas Biskup, John Davis, Dorothée Marie-Louise Doepfer, Mark Häberlein, Albane Forestier, Roger Knight, Rainer Liedtke, Ulrich Pfister, and Thomas Weller.

The International Bankers, World Wars I, II, and Beyond by Mujahid Kamran Copyright@ 2015 Mujahid Kamran Date of Publication: April, 2015 First Edition Published by the University of the Punjab, Lahore www.pu.edu.pk Printed and bound at the University of the Punjab Press ISBN: 978-969-9325-24-3 During the past one hundred years any theory of his- tory or historical evidence that falls outside a pattern established by the American Historical Association and the major foundations with their grant making power has been attacked or rejected - not on the basis of any evidence presented, but on the basis of the ac- ceptability of the argument to the so-called Eastern Liberal Establishment and its official historical line. There is an Establishment history, an official his- tory, which dominates history textbooks, trade pub- lishing, the media and library shelves. The official line always assumes that events such as wars, rev- olutions, scandals, assassinations, are more or less random unconnected events. By definition events can NEVER be the result of a conspiracy, they can never result from premeditated planned group action. An excellent example is the Kennedy assassination when, within 9 hours of the Dallas tragedy, TV networks announced the shooting was NOT a conspiracy, regardless of the fact that a negative proposition can never be proven, and that the investigation had barely begun.
