Kölner Ausgabe, vol. 20, 1977–1979, ed. Ralf Schell and Jochen Schubert et. al., Kiepenheuer & Witsch Verlag, Cologne, 2009 “One thinks Heidelberg by day—with its surroundings—is the last possibility of the beautiful; but when he sees Heidelberg by night, a fallen Milky Way, with that glittering railway constellation pinned to the border, he requires time to consider upon the verdict.” Mark Twain A Tramp Abroad Following the Equator, Other Travels, Literary Classics of the United States, Inc., New York, 2010 “The banks of the Neckar with its chiseled elevations became for us the brightest stretch of land there is, and for quite some time we couldn’t imagine anything else.” Zsuzsa Bánk Die hellen Tage S. Fischer Verlag, Frankfurt am Main, 2011 HEIDEL BERG CITY OF LITERATURE FIG. 01 (pp. 1, 3) Heidelberg City of Literature FIG. 02 Books from Heidelberg pp. 4–15 HEIDELBERG CITY OF LITERATURE A A HEIDELBERG CITY OF LITERATURE The City of Magical Thinking An essay by Jagoda Marinic´ 5 I think I came to Heidelberg in order to become a writer. I can only assume so, in retro spect, because when I arrived I hadn’t a clue that this was what I wanted to be. Not even today can I really say whether I went to Heidelberg for that reason. Whether I discovered my wish or had it fulfilled here. What I do know is that I will never shake off the feeling that someone had already earmarked the spot for me before I even realised it. Someone who knew that I had to come to this town if I was to write. 6 HEIDELBERG CITY OF LITERATURE A FIG. 03 Slavoj Žižek That’s how it is with Heidelberg: whatever happens to you in this city, you have the feeling there’s a reason for it. What you’ve just experienced, what you saw, the person you just met—it cannot simply have happened like that. It’s as if thoughts gave rise to moments. And moments to other moments. And yet other thoughts. As if there was a hidden meaning waiting to be discovered. Nothing simply happens. An idea at the back of everything. And how else could it be, in the city of the “living spirit”? The living spirit invoked above the portal of the new university building, which some­ times even comes and takes a place inside, as for instance when Slavoj Žižek guests there and makes us forget what it was he actually intended to talk about. His latest book? Forget it! The world is large. And the lecture hall full of youngsters who scarcely can follow the swirling stream of thoughts spouting in glorious Slavenglish from this sixty­something philosopher. Heidelberg, where the tickets for such events are sold out almost before they can be organised, where the city’s largest halls must be enlisted and even then the doors are closed in the youngsters’ faces because of fire regulations … We know all about that. It is Heidelberg, where at one of those lectures I’ll meet one of my former students who is about to leave Heidelberg in a day or two, who is saying farewell to me yet nevertheless says: “But you never leave Heidelberg.” And he’s right. Žižek goes. And Žižek stays. In the rooms. In the people. In the spirit of Heidelberg. Anyone who lives and works here is in danger of themselves becoming so lively and spirited that everything becomes imaginable and everything imaginable feasible. Hilde Domin, the now departed grande dame of poetry in Heidelberg, wrote: “I set my foot upon the air and it carried me”. Naturally I wanted to get to know this air­borne lady after my first book was published. My editor once was her editor. Ulla Berkéwicz, wife of the publisher Siegfried Unseld, connected us up. I saw Hilde Domin five times. Three times at her home in HEIDELBERG CITY OF LITERATURE 7 The City of Magical Thinking FIG. 04 Hilde Domin in her study Graimbergweg. At our first meeting she wept. And forgot me after­ wards. At our second meeting her beaming face competed with the spray of margarites on the balcony, the sun alighted on her wonderfully time­aged face and bathed the age marks on her skin. This sun of a face is the one I see when I think of her. She forgot me. The third time we went together to the theatre, Frank Wedekind’s Spring Awakening, school theatre. My goodness how she had dressed herself up, and what a good mood. “Entranced” by the play. Until she got up from her chair—and fell. She forgot me again. With me, her fall, the evening. Every time I fetched her she asked: “And where do we know each other from?” At which I would relate the story of our last meeting. She simply nodded. Sometimes she smiled. Once she even said: “I can imagine that, that I liked you”. I did not call her any more after her fall. I would have had to tell her how she fell. And was unhappy when she arrived home. So at the door I added: “It was lovely, wasn’t it?” She took my hand and said: “Yes. But I had a fall”. She looked at me so sadly as she said it; yes, I thought, helplessly, a thing like that shouldn’t happen to someone who is borne by the air. I hoped she would forget it, like all of our previous meetings. After that evening I no longer dared to take this lady—who still had her hair done regularly—to the theatre or to readings on my own. Then one day the phone rang. The woman who had arranged my meetings with Hilde Domin wanted to know whether she had suffered a fall at our last meeting. She was in pain and didn’t know what from. “Yes”, I said. I should have told her right away, I thought to myself. Perhaps I had hoped her forgetfulness would also eliminate the pain. “After the play”, I said. “There were some steps 8 HEIDELBERG CITY OF LITERATURE between the chairs. She set foot on the air …”—“… and it didn’t carry her”, the woman finished. We laughed. It will heal, she assured me. A bruise that would go away. I never A ventured to visit her again. She has gone. And stayed. The air, that carries you. Yes, Heidelberg is the city of magical thinking, and like everything magical it is slightly removed from reality. When you enter Heidelberg you step through an invisible gateway. It is said that it was not by chance that Joanne K. Rowling introduced the Heidelberg Harriers team in her “Harry Potter” books. Some actually say it all began with a reading by the author at the beginning of the new millennium. Even before she rose to world fame at the end of 2000, she came to Heidelberg in the spring of that year to receive the “Heidelberger Leander”—the prize for children’s books. It was presented to her at a specially organised Harry Potter party. Naturally the Heidelberg Harrier do not stick to the rules of German declination, but they come close. And all that speaks more for the magical existence of this city than against it. We exist. We have a real railway station—it may not be King’s Cross, but it’s still a station. The number of tracks is ten. So 9 ¾ certainly fits in. We are currently looking for our track 9 ¾ so as to arrive in the future as a city of literature. Alison Bowden, adviser at the UNESCO Cities of Literature, said on her visit to the Literaturtage in Heidelberg: the fact that there is a Harry Potter team with our name shows we are almost there. Who else can claim as much? We hope we shall find track 9 ¾. Perhaps as many readers will follow us as him, Harry. We should be so lucky. I succumbed to the magic of this town the very first time I walked along its streets. For one whole summer I travelled round half of Baden­Württemberg, one stop­off after an­ other, in search of the first town of my own. I was nineteen and thought I’d look for the place where I wanted to study. Today I realise: I was looking for the town in which I can write. But because I was still thinking back then that I was looking for the town where I wanted to study, quite other things were important: this professor is interesting, or this subject can be combined with that. A tram that went up the high street could have tipped the balance, because it gave me the feel­ ing of being in a small big city. On that first day on which I visited it Heidelberg was almost ridiculously beautiful. Not because of the students who were rollerblading over the cobblestones as if it was nothing, who ate in the student’s union in Marstall and whose open expressions awakened a yearning for the life that was waiting for me.

  • CHAPTER 2 the Period of the Weimar Republic Is Divided Into Three
    CHAPTER 2 BERLIN DURING THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC The period of the Weimar Republic is divided into three periods, 1918 to 1923, 1924 to 1929, and 1930 to 1933, but we usually associate Weimar culture with the middle period when the post WWI revolutionary chaos had settled down and before the Nazis made their aggressive claim for power. This second period of the Weimar Republic after 1924 is considered Berlin’s most prosperous period, and is often referred to as the “Golden Twenties”. They were exciting and extremely vibrant years in the history of Berlin, as a sophisticated and innovative culture developed including architecture and design, literature, film, painting, music, criticism, philosophy, psychology, and fashion. For a short time Berlin seemed to be the center of European creativity where cinema was making huge technical and artistic strides. Like a firework display, Berlin was burning off all its energy in those five short years. A literary walk through Berlin during the Weimar period begins at the Kurfürstendamm, Berlin’s new part that came into its prime during the Weimar period. Large new movie theaters were built across from the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church, the Capitol und Ufa-Palast, and many new cafés made the Kurfürstendamm into Berlin’s avant-garde boulevard. Max Reinhardt’s theater became a major attraction along with bars, nightclubs, wine restaurants, Russian tearooms and dance halls, providing a hangout for Weimar’s young writers. But Berlin’s Kurfürstendamm is mostly famous for its revered literary cafés, Kranzler, Schwanecke and the most renowned, the Romanische Café in the impressive looking Romanische Haus across from the Memorial church.

  • Versailles (Hellerau, 1927). Even Deutschland, Frankreich Und
    BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Most of the sources on German history from 1890 to the end of the Weimar Republic are of use in a study of Maximilian Har­ den. In the following paragraphs are noted, besides the un­ published sources, only the published materials that deal directly with Harden, and the general works or monographs on the period that have been used most extensively. Many works cited in the text are not listed here; a complete reference to each one is found in its first citation. The indispensable source of information on Harden is the magazine he edited from 1892 until 1922. The one hundred and eighteen volumes of the Zukunft contain the bulk of his essays, commentaries, and trial records, as well as many private letters to and from him. The Zukunft was the inspiration or the source for Harden's principal pamphlets and books, namely Kampfge­ nosse Sudermann (Berlin, 1903); KopJe (4 vols., Berlin, 1911-1924); Krieg und Friede (2 vols., Berlin, 1918); and Von Versailles nach Versailles (Hellerau, 1927). Even Deutschland, Frankreich und England (Berlin, 1923), written after the Zukun}t had ceased publication, was in large a repetition of Zukunft articles. Harden's earliest work, Berlin als Theaterhauptstadt (Berlin, 1889), consisted in part of pieces he had written for Die Nation. Apostata (Berlin, 1892), Apostata, neue Folge (Berlin, 1892), andLiteraturund Theater (Berlin, 1896), were collections of his essays from Die Gegenwart. The Gegenwart and the other magazines for which he wrote before 1892 - Die Nation, Die Kunstwart, and M agazin fur Litteratur - are also indispensable sources. Harden's published writings also include articles in other German and foreign newspapers and magazines.

  • Gewimmel Im Sportpark Dielheim - Erster Wettkampf in Der Serie Des Kila-Cups Der Leichtathletik Des Rhein-Neckar-Kreises Am 21.05.2017
    Gewimmel im Sportpark Dielheim - erster Wettkampf in der Serie des KiLA-Cups der Leichtathletik des Rhein-Neckar-Kreises am 21.05.2017 Über 220 Kinder, deren Eltern, Trainer und Betreuer sowie natürlich die Helfer des veranstaltenden TV Dielheim wimmelten am Sonntag den 21.05.2017 im Sportpark der Gemeinde Dielheim. Der Grund- im Rahmen der Cupwertung 2017 des Rhein- Neckar- Kreises (RNK) wurde für die Altersklassen der U08, der U10 und der U12 der erste Wettkampf in der Kinderleichtathletik ausgetragen. Bei bestem Wetter, das gute und hervorragende Leistungen geradezu herausforderte, maßen sich 28 gemischte Mannschaften mit jeweils bis zu elf Mitgliedern im Werfen, Springen und Laufen. Mit dem Konzept der Kinderleichtathletik verfolgt der DLV das Ziel durch den Spaß an der Vielfalt kindgerecht abgewandelter leichtathletischer Übungen einer allzu frühen Spezialisierung der jungen SportlerInnen entgegenzuwirken. Zudem sind durch das Wertungssystem als Mannschaft nicht von jedem Teammitglied in allen Disziplinen Spitzenleistungen gefragt. Das Zusammenwirken in einer Mannschaft lässt auch in der Individualsportart Leichtathletik Erfolge noch schöner werden und Niederlagen leichter verarbeiten. Schaute man während der Wettbewerbe auf der 250m- Rundbahn des TV Dielheim in die begeisterten Gesichter der eifrigen, jungen SportlerInnen so scheint das Konzept aufzugehen. Das alles ganz im Sinne von Michael Hartmann, der die KiLA in Dielheim ins Leben gerufen hat. Am Wettkampftag organisierte er den Hoch-Weitsprung und zeigte sich von dem „Gewimmel“ begeistert: „So haben wir uns das vorgestellt, als vor jetzt schon vielen Jahren die Idee zum Sportpark Gestalt annahm“. Nach gemeinsamem Aufwärmen, angeleitet von U16 Sportlerinnen des TV Dielheim, stand für die U08 Heulerwurf, Weit-Hochsprung, 30m Sprint aus verschiedenen Startpositionen und Biathlonstaffel auf dem Programm.

Ein Krieg zerstört und vernichtet Städte, Landstriche, Menschenleben, und hat auch enorme Auswirkungen auf gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Traditionen. Der Erste Weltkrieg gilt als „Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts“. Auch das Schicksal der modernen Kunst ist eng damit verbunden.
