We take our respon- sibility towards society seriously, initiate projects of our own and support efforts which we consider to merit sponsorship. In this report, we offer a representative selection of these activities, the emphasis being on issues supported by the Commerzbank Foundation. In addition, we describe our cooperation with German national parks, and report on the assistance we provided for the victims of both September 11 and last summer’s flood catastrophe. We also show pictures of this year’s awards in connection with the initiative to thank people holding honorary functions in sport, which we launched in conjunction with Deutscher Sportbund. Commerzbank Foundation It was set up on the hundredth birthday of Commerzbank AG in Hamburg, the city where the Bank was formed, on February 26, 1970. It was endowed with a capital of DM5m. In the tradition of a civic foundation, its object was quite consciously defined broadly, enabling the Foundation to become active in all areas of public benefit. In the course of the next three decades, its capital was gradually increased in line with its growing functions, reaching DM50m by end-2000. With uncommitted reserves included, it currently stands at almost 730m. The goals of the Foundation have also been adapted and extended several times to reflect developments in society, the topics culture and historical monuments being added in 1984, and protection of the environment and nature in 1992. Unlike more recent institutions with more narrowly defined goals, the Commerzbank Foundation has con- sistently pursued its original objective of being active in all areas that are of public benefit. In the 33 years of its existence, it has devoted itself to providing support in the following areas: the promotion of universities, (non-university) scholarship and research, basic, vocational and further training, churches, charity and healthcare, cultural sponsorship and the protection of historical monuments. In the meantime, it provides support of roughly 71.2m each year. All told, the Commerzbank Foundation has donated 712.8m since it was set up. contents Management report Survey of the Commerzbank Group 6 Corporate governance 11 Sustainability report 16 Retail banking and asset management 24 Corporate and investment banking 34 Staff and welfare report 46 Our share, strategy and outlook 52 Risk report 58 Financial statements of the Commerzbank Group 2002 Overview 84 Income statement 87 Balance sheet 89 Statement of changes in equity 90 Cash flow statement 92 Notes 94 Auditors’ certificate 175 Report of the Supervisory Board 178 Boards, membership of other boards, Group managers, branch managers and managers of Group companies Supervisory Board 183 Central Advisory Board 185 Board of Managing Directors 186 Regional Board Members 188 Group managers 189 Managers of domestic main branches 190 Managers of foreign branches 191 Board of Trustees of Commerzbank Foundation 191 Managers of domestic Group companies 192 Managers of foreign Group companies 193 Regional Advisory Committees 194 Membership of other boards 207 Tables and charts Structure of the Commerzbank Group 21 Commerzbank worldwide 42 Glossary 212 Index 217 Business progress 1968-2002 218 Klaus-Peter Müller April 2003 Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors We know that you cannot be content with the picture presented of Commerzbank. We are not content either, because we find the darker tones of this picture exaggerated and feel that our share price is out of touch with reality. This reality is something we are actively tackling; we are doing all that we can to alter this picture, to brighten it up and to show it in a better light with the aid of convincing facts. Last year, our main activity was to remould the Commerzbank Group into a lean, flexible and modern provider of financial services at the heart of Europe. We have moved quite a long way in that direction, but we have also been obliged to recognize that the path we have chosen is stony, passing through inhospitable territory. In all our measures it was important for us not to overtax or place undue strain upon our relationships with customers – in other words, the very basis of our business – but, on the contrary, to build upon these. More than ever, we are convinced that any promising business model for a bank rests upon long-term relationships with its customers. Put in con- temporary terms, this means that we continue to see the consistent rela- tionship-banking approach as superior to deal-based transaction banking. We present in detail the individual aspects and the progress made with the restructuring of Commerzbank on the following pages of our annual report. Having read it, you will come to the conclusion that we have achieved some things more quickly than originally expected. Other projects have not made such rapid progress, as the hostile economic climate and the weakness of the stock markets have even grown worse rather than improving. In addition, the mistrust of the media, analysts and investors towards Germany and also towards the entire German banking industry has increased, and in mutually reinforcing waves so to speak has hit the indi- vidual institutions. We continue to believe that transparency and frank communication are the only effective antidotes. At the same time, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority, the Bundesbank and the Association of German Banks have helped to ensure that Finanzplatz Deutschland did not suffer even greater damage. For this, they deserve our special gratitude. In the interest of providing information as soon as possible, we pre- sented our provisional figures for the 2002 financial year to you and to the public at large at the start of February, and thus very early – not least in order to take the wind out of the sails of speculation. It was especially important that, by disclosing our liquidity ratios, we proved that we have ample liquidity reserves over the long term. What is more, we were apparently able to convince the markets of the soundness of our policy as regards risk and to show that we have adhered to a conservative course in forming valuation allowances. While we had to accept further setbacks on the earnings side, we even managed to exceed our ambitious targets as far as costs are concerned. We have also systematically reduced our risk-weighted assets – partly by deconsolidating Rheinhyp, and partly by securitizing risks and loans. This policy has led to an improvement in our core capital ratio from 6.0% at end-2001 to 7.3%, a respectable figure even by international compari- son. It is our express goal to hold this ratio at no less than 7%. It under- lines the Bank’s solidity and financial strength, and for this reason it is closely watched by rating agencies in particular. Given our sound liquidity position and good capital base, we remain committed to the goal of achieving better figures soon and, as a result, of being able to present a more attractive picture of Commerzbank, despite the persistently difficult conditions. I hope that I will be able to report further progress to you at our Annual General Meeting in the Frankfurt Festhalle on May 30, 2003. 6 MANAGEMENT REPORT survey of the commerzbank group World economy: still no upswing World-economic growth was again disappointing in 2002. The US economy cer- tainly moved out of recession more quickly than expected and at 2.4% registered a much stronger rise in real GDP than a year earlier. In Western Europe, however, the revival of economic activity lost momentum, yielding average growth of only 1% in 2002. Mounting tensions in the Middle East increased the risk premium on the oil price; confidence in the sustainability of the US recovery disappeared and equity prices plunged once again, not least due to accounting scandals in the United States. Seen over the year as a whole, the stagnation in Germany which had begun in mid-2000 continued. Economic growth, at 0.2%, again fell short of that in other EU countries. This was largely due to the unique financial burdens imposed by German unification, whose impact can still be felt. Construction investment shrank further last year and was even lower than in 1991.

  • The Spell of Belgium
    The Spell of Belgium By Isabel Anderson THE SPELL OF BELGIUM CHAPTER I THE NEW POST THE winter which I spent in Belgium proved a unique niche in my experience, for it showed me the daily life and characteristics of a people of an old civilization as I could never have known them from casual meetings in the course of ordinary travel. My husband first heard of his nomination as Minister to Belgium over the telephone. We were at Beverly, which was the summer capital that year, when he was told that his name was on the list sent from Washington. Although he had been talked of for the position, still in a way his appointment came as a surprise, and a very pleasant one, too, for we had been assured that “Little Paris” was an attractive post, and that Belgium was especially interesting to diplomats on account of its being the cockpit of Europe. After receiving this first notification, L. called at the “Summer White House” in Beverly, and later went to Washington for instructions. It was not long before we were on our way to the new post. Through a cousin of my husband’s who had married a Belgian, the Comte de Buisseret, we were able to secure a very nice house in Brussels, the Palais d’Assche. As it was being done over by the owners, I remained in Paris during the autumn, waiting until the work should be finished. My husband, of course, went directly to Brussels, and through his letters I was able to gain some idea of what our life there was to be.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Charles I and the Spanish Plot: Anglo-Habsburg Relations and the Outbreak of the War of Three Kingdoms, 1630-1641 A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Patrick Ignacio O’Neill March 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Thomas Cogswell, Chairperson Dr. Randolph Head Dr. Georg Michels Copyright by Patrick Ignacio O’Neill 2014 The Dissertation of Patrick Ignacio O’Neill is approved: __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Bertolt Brecht posed the question, “Young Alexander conquered India./ He alone?” Like any great human endeavor, this dissertation is not the product of one person’s solitary labors, but owes much to the efforts of a great number of individuals and organizations who have continually made straight my paths through graduate school, through archival research, and through the drafting process. First and foremost, I would like to thank my dissertation chair, Dr. Thomas Cogswell, for his excellent guidance throughout my years at the University of California, Riverside. When I arrived as a first-year graduate student, I had very little certainty of what I wanted to do in the field of Early Modern Britain, and I felt more than a bit overwhelmed at the well-trod historiographical world I had just entered. Dr. Cogswell quickly took me under his wing and steered me gently through a research path that helped me find my current project, and he subsequently took a great interest in following my progress through research and writing. I salute his heroic readings and re-readings of drafts of chapters, conference papers, and proposals, and his perennial willingness to have a good chat over a cup of coffee and to help dispel the many frustrations that come from dissertation writing.

  • Keeping up with the Dutch Internal Colonization and Rural Reform in Germany, 1800–1914

Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence eISSN: 2213-0624 Keeping Up with the Dutch Internal Colonization and Rural Reform in Germany, 1800–1914 Elizabeth B. Jones HCM 3 (2): 173–194 http://doi.org/10.18352/hcm.482 Abstract Recent research on internal colonization in Imperial Germany empha- sizes how racial and environmental chauvinism drove plans for agri- cultural settlement in the ‘polonized’ German East. Yet policymakers’ dismay over earlier endeavours on the peat bogs of northwest Germany and their admiration for Dutch achievements was a constant refrain. This article traces the heterogeneous Dutch influences on German internal colonization between 1790 and 1914 and the mixed results of Germans efforts to adapt Dutch models of wasteland colonization. Indeed, despite rising German influence in transnational debates over European internal colonization, derogatory comparisons between medi- ocre German ventures and the unrelenting progress of the Dutch per- sisted. Thus, the example of northwest Germany highlights how mount- ing anxieties about ‘backwardness’ continued to mold the enterprise in the modern era and challenges the notion that the profound German influences on the Netherlands had no analog in the other direction.

  • DRAFT 2 Chapter One Stigmatized by Choice: the Self-Fashioning Of
    DRAFT 2 Chapter One Stigmatized by Choice: The Self-Fashioning of Anna Katharina Emmerick, 1813 Introduction: Whose Story? The residents of Dülmen had plenty to talk about and worry over in March of 1813. By then, the Westphalian village had seen three regime changes over the course of a decade of war.1 As the front line of the battle between Napoleon’s Imperial France and the other European powers had shifted, passing soldiers made camp in Dülmen’s fields and requisitioned its goods – over 15,000 of them at one point, overwhelming the community’s 2,000 inhabitants. The French Revolution had come to their doorstep: the annexed village’s Augustinian convent was secularized, its peasants emancipated. Twenty of Dülmen’s young men had just recently been conscripted into Napoleon’s Grand Armeé, joining its long march to Russia. Now the Russian campaign was over, all twenty Dülmener soldiers were dead, and not only retreating French but Prussian and Russian troops were heading Dülmen’s way.2 Despite all these pressing concerns, a growing number of Dülmeners were talking in the streets and taverns about something else entirely: Anna Katharina Emmerick, the bedridden spinster forced to leave Dülmen’s convent upon its secularization. This peasant woman, rumor 1 At the time of Emmerick’s birth, Dülmen was part of the Prince-Bishopric of Münster. The last Prince-Bishop of Münster died in exile in Vienna in 1801, and the Prince-Bishopric was formally dissolved by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluß of 25 February 1803 (for more on this document, see p. 14 below).

  • Buchenwald Revisited
    Zofia Wóycicka Cultures of History Forum View of the new permanent exhibition that opened in 2016 at the Buchenwald Memorial. Author: Claus Bach; Source: collections of the Buchenwald Memorial. Buchenwald Revisited Zofia Wóycicka Cultures of History Forum, published: 08.02.2018 DOI: 10.25626/0080 In spring 2016, a new permanent exhibition opened at the Buchenwald Memorial near Weimar. The article provides a critical review of the exhibition against the backdrop of previous exhibitions: the first which was opened by the GDR regime in 1954 and the second one after re-unification in 1995. Compared to these, the new exhibition appears less raw and more aestetic in appearance. Moreover, it engages more than its predecessors with stories of perpetrators in addition to those of the victims. Recommended Citation Zofia Wóycicka: Buchenwald Revisited.

The exhibition, occupying an area of 2000 square meters, is set across three floors of the former depot, one of the few preserved buildings of the former concentration camp. To make the space more legible and visitor-friendly, architects from the Swiss design office Holzer Kobler Architekturen introduced an additional wall that cuts through all the floors and is set at an angle to the base of the building.

  • Germany and the Coming of the French Wars of Religion: Confession, Identity, and Transnational Relations
    Germany and the Coming of the French Wars of Religion: Confession, Identity, and Transnational Relations Jonas A. M. van Tol Doctor of Philosophy University of York History February 2016 Abstract From its inception, the French Wars of Religion was a European phenomenon. The internationality of the conflict is most clearly illustrated by the Protestant princes who engaged militarily in France between 1567 and 1569. Due to the historiographical convention of approaching the French Wars of Religion as a national event, studied almost entirely separate from the history of the German Reformation, its transnational dimension has largely been ignored or misinterpreted. Using ten German Protestant princes as a case study, this thesis investigates the variety of factors that shaped German understandings of the French Wars of Religion and by extension German involvement in France. The princes’ rich and international network of correspondence together with the many German-language pamphlets about the Wars in France provide an insight into the ways in which the conflict was explained, debated, and interpreted. Applying a transnational interpretive framework, this thesis unravels the complex interplay between the personal, local, national, and international influences that together formed an individual’s understanding of the Wars of Religion. These interpretations were rooted in the longstanding personal and cultural connections between France and the Rhineland and strongly influenced by French diplomacy and propaganda. Moreover, they were conditioned by one’s precise position in a number of key religious debates, most notably the question of Lutheran-Reformed relations. These understandings changed as a result of a number pivotal European events that took place in 1566 and 1567 and the conspiracy theories they inspired.

    The Napoleon Series The Germans under the French Eagles: Volume IV The Regiment of the Saxon Duchies – Chapter One By Commandant Sauzey Translated by Greg Gorsuch THE REGIMENT OF THE SAXON DUCHIES ================================================================================== FIRST CHAPTER THE CAMPAIGN OF JENA AND THE SAXON DUCHIES (1806) _______________ I. -- The Duchy of Weimar furnishes to the Prussians a contingent to fight at Auerstaedt, and accompanies Blücher in his retreat on Lübeck. We are in the autumn of the year 1806: the Prussian monarchy, carried away by a wind of military folly, shortly before the catastrophes to follow; its army, placed on the a war footing, approached Saxony: in spite of its desire to remain neutral, the Elector was obliged to yield to the pressure of events; the Prussians were very close, and the Emperor Napoleon was still far away... The Saxon Electorate troops are thus incorporated into the Prussian ranks. But all the Allies were good for the war which was about to begin: a convention of the 4th of October, 1806, signed by the Colonel and Quartermaster General von Guyonneau on the side of the Prussia, and on the side of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar by the Chamberlain and Major von Pappenheim, put at the service of Prussia for a period of twelve months a battalion of jäger and 40 hussars of Saxe-Weimar: these troops, together with those of the Electorate of Saxony, were to fight against the Emperor Napoleon and his allies of the Confederation of the Rhine. It was the establishment of this "Confederation
