ABSTRACT Sporting Democracy: The Western Allies’ Reconstruction of Germany Through Sport, 1944-1952 HEATHER L. DICHTER Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Department of History, University of Toronto This dissertation examines how the three western Allies used sport to rebuild western Germany during the occupation and early years of the Federal Republic. The Allies believed that the sports in which Germans chose to participate before 1945, in particular fencing and gymnastics (Turnen), helped define one’s Germanness through demonstrations of militarism and hyper-masculinity. The development of Directive 23 on the Limitation and Demilitarization of Sport within the quadripartite Allied Control Authority imposed on sport the goals of the Potsdam Declaration: denazification, demilitarisation, decentralisation, and democratisation. By using sport as a vehicle to examine the achievement of western Allied goals, this dissertation demonstrates the centrality of sport to occupation policy. Sport became a highly effective instrument of public diplomacy because of its broad appeal and also because it allows for a public display of national capabilities. By encouraging competition with athletes from other countries, the western Allies fostered a transformation of German sport from defining individual characteristics to supporting broader, group-oriented ideas of democracy. The problems of creating national sport organisations mirrored the geo-political situation as the western occupation zones merged to form the Federal Republic. The debate over the structural organisation of sport provided the Germans with an opportunity to demonstrate the democratic ideals learned from the western ii Allies but also allowed them to use these same ideals to gain autonomy. Germans used the internationalism of sport to regain a position within the international community because international sport federations lay outside official state control. Examining unofficial international football matches and West Germany’s reacceptance by the international federations illustrates how sport provided a place for Germans to participate in the international system when no formal German state existed. The division of Germany forced the world’s sportsmen to address the political realities of Germany even though they considered sport separate from politics. This dissertation demonstrates how the western Allied efforts to dissociate sport and politics instead created the environment which enabled sport to assume a place of primacy during the Cold War, making the use of sport to democratise West Germany an ironic continuation of the politicisation of sport within Germany. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project involved several research trips across North America and Europe to many archives and organisations. I could never have conducted the research for this project without the assistance of: Marty Mcgann of the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, Maryland; Kerstin Schenke of the Bundesarchiv in Koblenz; the entire staff of the Bureau des archives de l'Occupation française en Allemagne et en Autriche in Colmar; the staff of the Archives diplomatiques at the Ministère des Affaires Étrangères in Paris; Lena Ånimmer at the National Archives of Sweden (Riksarkivet); Stephan Wassong and Michael Winter of the Carl und Liselott Diem Archiv; Michael Schirp of the Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund; the entire staff of the International Olympic Committee Library and Archive, in particular Ruth Beck-Perrenoud and Marie-Hélène Guex; Nathalie Rodriguez at the Federation Internationale d'Escrime; Christa Bühler at the Federation Internationale de Football Association; Pierre Weiss at the International Association of Athletics Federations; David Barber at the Football Association in London; Ina Müller of the Deutscher Fussball-Bund; Simone Kratzer at the Deutsche Leichtathletik Verband; and Jezael Fritsche at the Schweizer Fussball Verband. In addition to all of the archives that I visited, I would also like to thank Anne Causey of Special Collections at the University of Virginia Library, David Klaassen of the Social Welfare History Archives at the University of Minnesota, Linda Stahnke of the University Archives at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, David Hays and Karen Gifford at the University of Colorado at Boulder Archives, and Erika Gorder of Special Collections and iv University Archives at Rutgers University for their assistance in locating additional material. I could not have completed the multi-country research for my dissertation without the financial assistance of several organisations and departments. The University of Toronto provided me with significant support coming from the Joint Initiative in German and European Studies, the Centre for International Studies, the School of Graduate Studies, and the Department of History. I would also like to thank the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations for supporting both my language instruction and my dissertation research, and I also received additional funding from the International Society of Olympic Historians and the George C. Marshall Foundation. I would also like to thank Bruce Kidd and Jennifer Jenkins for being supportive members of my dissertation committee. Most importantly, I would like to thank Modris Eksteins for being a great supervisor and encouraging me to tackle this topic. Getting through graduate school and writing my dissertation was made easier with the help of many friends, especially Erin Hochman, Jen Polk, Katie Edwards, Wilson Bell, Anthony Cantor, and Erik Huneke. I always looked forward to conversations on German sport with Jan C. Rode. I would also like to thank all of my friends that housed me for various lengths of time as I traveled across Europe during my research, especially Ray and Maureen Whitley in England and Sandra Esser and Stefanie Seeh in Cologne. My parents have always provided me with much support during graduate school, which I have greatly appreciated. My grandfather had finished writing his dissertation but could not afford to have all of the copies made to complete his degree due to the birth of his second son, my father. To his memory I dedicate this dissertation. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ................................................................. ii Acknowledgments......................................................... iv Abbreviations............................................................ vii List of Figures ............................................................ ix Introduction ...............................................................1 Chapter 1 Washington, London, and Potsdam: Demilitarising German Sport . 31 Chapter 2 Game Plan for Democracy: Public Diplomacy and Sport . 80 Chapter 3 Kicking Around International Sport: The 1948 German-Swiss Football Games . 136 Chapter 4 Recentralisation and the Founding of National Sport Organisations: The German Efforts to Gain Control of Sport . 172 Chapter 5 Returning to the International Arena..........................................236 Conclusion..............................................................310 Bibliography.............................................................326 vi ABBREVIATIONS ACC Allied Control Council AGSEC Allied General Secretariat (Allied

  • WALDEMS Strukturanalyse Der Gemeinde
    WALDEMS Strukturanalyse der Gemeinde Wohnstandort im Naturpark „Rhein-Taunus“ Waldems liegt an der östlichen Grenze des Rheingau-Taunus-Kreises und umfaßt die sechs Ortsteile Bermbach, Esch, Niederems, Reichenbach, Steinfischbach und Wüstems. Das Gemeindegebiet erstreckt sich östlich der Idsteiner Senke bis zum Hochtaunus. Die Gemeinde liegt in landschaftlich reizvoller Lage und gehört zum Naturpark „Rhein-Taunus“. Fast 90 % der Gemarkungsfläche entfallen auf Flächen für die Landwirtschaft und Wald. Zuletzt waren jedoch nur noch 21 landwirtschaftliche Betriebe ansässig. Die Gemeinde hat mehrere Sehenswürdigkeiten. Beispielsweise sind die alten Kir- chen und eine Hammermühle zu nennen. Der Ortsteil Reichenbach verfügt über das Naturdenkmal Layfelsen. In jedem Ortsteil ist ein Dorfgemeinschaftshaus vorhanden. Die Bundesstraßen B 8 und B 275, die sich im Ortsteil Esch kreuzen, sind die wichtigsten Verkehrsverbindungen zu den nächsten Zentren. Eine gute Verkehrsanbindung besteht durch die B 8 nach Königstein im Taunus und Frankfurt sowie nach Bad Camberg und Limburg. Über die B 275 kann Usingen und der in 8 km entfernte Autobahnanschluß Idstein an der A 3 Köln - Frankfurt - Wiesbaden erreicht werden. Starke Bevölkerungszunahme Waldems hatte zuletzt rund 5.500 Einwohner. Seit 1987 erhöhte sich die Einwohnerzahl um knapp 10 %. Der Regionalplan Südhessen weist für Waldems zusätzliche Siedlungsflächen von 8 ha aus. Damit bestehen für die Gemeinde gute Erweite- rungsmöglichkeiten für den Wohnungsbau. Waldems ist eine typische Auspendlergemeinde. Rund zwei Drittel pendeln nach Frankfurt, Idstein und Wiesbaden. Mit rund 21.000 Euro pro Einwohner liegt die Kaufkraft mit 7,5 % über dem Bun- desdurchschnitt. Kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung der Wirtschaftsstruktur Zuletzt wurden in Waldems über 400 sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigte verzeichnet. Das waren 174 mehr als 1987.

First, after introducing the southwestern German city of Freiburg im Breisgau, I will examine some of the reconstruction activities that occurred there within the six-year period following the end of World War II. Specifically, I will discuss the work of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC, a faith- based Quaker service organization) and of the French military government in occupied Freiburg, with special attention to efforts that promoted cultural reconciliation. Second, using Freiburg as a case study of the larger-scale post-war changes that were occurring across Europe, I will explain how the exchange of ideologies, languages, and cultural practices within this period helped to lay the foundations for the modern, peaceful, and unified Europe we know today.

    www.doew.at Brigitte Bailer / Wolfgang Neugebauer The FPÖ of Jörg Haider – Populist or Extreme Right-Winger? Published in: Women in Austria. Edited by Günter Bischof, Anton Pelinka, Erika Thurner, New Brunswick 1998 (Contemporary Austrian Studies, volume 6), 164–173. In his admirable article, Tony Judt has succeeded in portraying the essential characteristics of postwar Austrian politics, including the main problems of the country’s domestic and foreign affairs. He has also dealt with the status and function of Jörg Haider’s FPÖ, and attempted to place all these dimensions of Austrian political life in a European framework. While finding no fault with Judt’s narrative or analysis, we consider it worthwhile to illuminate some key aspects of the development, structure, and politics of Haider’s FPÖ. This is a democratic necessity, as Haider is adept at camouflaging his hidden agenda by dressing up his policies in democratic Austrian garb, thus deceiving not a few politicians and scholars at home and abroad. In the following pages, we attempt to show Haider’s movement in its true colors, revealing the specifically Aus- trian contours of this “Ghost of the New Europe.” 1986: The Shift Towards Racism and Right-Wing Extremism The Innsbruck party congress of the FPÖ in September 1986 must be seen as a milestone in Austrian domestic politics. The change in the leadership of the FPÖ signaled a marked shift of that party to the extreme right, led to the termination of the SPÖ-FPÖ coalition government, and affected the ensuing general election, which produced a socialist-conservative administration of the SPÖ and ÖVP.

  • Nationalism and Sporting Culture: a Media Analysis of Croatia's Participation in the 1998 World
    Nationalism and Sporting Culture: A Media Analysis of Croatia’s Participation in the 1998 World Cup Andreja Milasincic, BPHED Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Health Sciences (Health and Physical Education) Supervisor: Ian Ritchie, PhD Faculty of Applied Health Sciences, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario L2S 3A1 Andreja Milasincic © November 2013 Abstract The past two centuries have witnessed the rise of nationalist movements and widespread nationalism. As these movements gained strength in Europe, sport played a role in their development. Media representations of sport recount events in a way that reinforces cultural values and this research investigates media representations of Croatian nationalism in the weeks surrounding the country’s third place victory in the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Sociological theories alongside more contemporary theories of sport and nation construction are considered. Croatian newspapers were analyzed for elements of national identity construction. The study concludes that the 1998 World Cup played an important role in Croatia’s on-going construction of nationhood and invention of nationalist traditions.
