Musekamp on Stangl, 'Risen from Ruins: the Cultural Politics of Rebuilding East Berlin'
H-Urban Musekamp on Stangl, 'Risen from Ruins: The Cultural Politics of Rebuilding East Berlin' Review published on Friday, September 11, 2020 Paul Stangl. Risen from Ruins: The Cultural Politics of Rebuilding East Berlin. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2018. 352 pp. $65.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-5036-0320-2. Reviewed by Jan Musekamp (University of Pittsburgh) Published on H-Urban (September, 2020) Commissioned by Alexander Vari (Marywood University) Printable Version: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=54596 Beyond Socialist Remodeling: Rebuilding East Berlin, 1945-61 Given its tumultuous history, it is not surprising that numerous scholars focus on postwar Berlin’s changing urban landscape. This is an interdisciplinary endeavor, with architects, urban planners, historians, and art historians looking at the city from markedly different perspectives.[1] Paul Stangl is a geographer by training and adds to this growing body of scholarship on the divided city. His focus is on the twenty-five years between the end of the Second World War and the construction of the infamous Berlin Wall—a time when Germany and the entire European continent “rose from ruins,” as the GDR national anthem put it. However, the Berlin case is unique for a number of reasons. First, the former German capital quickly developed into the front city of the Cold War. Second, as a result of this geopolitical background, both East and West Berlin served as showcases of the ideologies clashing here. Third, Berlin soon became a truly divided city in both spatial and ideological ways. Here, architects and urban planners often had to make decisions that followed not only general trends in urban planning but also ideological guidelines or directives. -
The History of a Hotel – Reading Comprehension
The history of a hotel – Reading Comprehension The Hotel Adlon Kempinski Berlin is a luxury hotel in Berlin, Germany. It is located on Unter den Linden, the main boulevard in the central Mitte district, at the corner with Pariser Platz, directly opposite the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The legendary original Hotel Adlon was one of the most famous hotels in Europe. It opened in 1907 and was largely destroyed in 1945 in the closing days of World War II, though a small wing continued operating until 1984. The current hotel, which opened on August 23, 1997, is a new building with a design inspired by the original. In the late 19th century, European hotels, which generally offered no more than overnight accommodation, evolved to become social gathering places which could host large receptions given by nobility and the wealthy. Modeled on American hotels like the Waldorf Astoria, new hotel buildings arose all over the continent with lavishly decorated ballrooms, dining halls, arcades, smoking lounges, libraries, and coffeehouses. In 1873 the Hotel Imperial opened in Vienna, followed by the Hôtel Ritz Paris in 1898, and The Ritz London Hotel in 1906. History in Details In 1905 Lorenz Adlon, a successful wine merchant and restaurateur originally from Mainz, purchased two properties on Unter den Linden. Adlon ran several coffeehouses in Berlin, among others in the Berlin Zoological Garden, and had raised capital to build a hotel on Pariser Platz, at the heart of the German capital. He convinced Kaiser Wilhelm II that Berlin needed a luxury hotel at the level of those in Paris, London and the other European capitals, and so the Kaiser personally cleared the way for Adlon's purchase of the Palais and for the subsequent demolition of the historic building and the constrtuction of the first Adlon Hotel. -

Berlin was once the resi- dence of the Hohenzollern, capital of the German Empire and of German Democratic Republic (DDR), Weimar Republic and the Third Reich. Following the end of the dic- tatorship of terror, the old Nazi center of power was occupied by Allied Forces and divided into 4 zones. Nowhere in the world are the consequences of the politics of the Cold War as clearly visible as in Berlin. From 1961 to 1989, the East and West were divided by a wall. After the fall of the wall and the reunification Germany, Berlin became the capital again. On this first day we visit the government district with Parliament and Chancellery. -
A Comment on Recent Literature on Soviet and Comintern Involvement in the Spanish Civil War
Rev29-03 26/2/08 12:29 Página 205 Frank Schauff* A comment on recent literature on Soviet and Comintern involvement in the Spanish Civil War In many spheres of twentieth century history, the end of the Soviet Union and the partial opening up of a lot of archives in Moscow and other capitals of the former Social- ist bloc have admitted to improve the base for research. Nonetheless, if talking about the former Soviet archives, there have to be made some restrictions to this reappraisal of the situation. First, some of the main Moscow archives have at least partially closed their material again after a short period of nearly complete openness in the first half of the 1990s. Then some of the major archives were either more or less closed as the Presiden- tial Archive or major parts of the archives were made unavailable for researchers because of national security deliberations. Historians could not be quick enough to use the win- dow of opportunity during these two or three years. This situation has not changed very much since the mid-nineties. The second problem is simply a practical problem. Certain- ly, historians of Russia and the Soviet Union were able to make use of the material, but historians – as in our case on Spanish history – had more problems in using the archives for the lack of Russian (and in the Communist International’s case also German) lan- guage knowledge. This implied that only a few of those who were interested in Spanish history and especially the Civil War would be able to use the vast amount of material available even under the aforementioned restrictions. -
