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.

During the nineteenth century, this was particularly true for monarchs whose rule had always been symbolically charged. The French king of the restoration, Charles X, had himself crowned like a medieval monarch in the Cathedral of Reims on 31 May 1825. This event was followed by a ceremony of healing the sick in the tradition of the 'rais thaumaturges,' with Charles X speaking the traditional formula used to eure those · suffering from scrofula: 'Le rai te tauche, Dieu te guerisse' ('the king touches you, may the Lord heal you'). 1 Charles X possessed, however, as much faith in modern science as in divine assistance, as three ofhis personal physicians were present at the ceremony to look after the siele. On 18 October 1861, King Wilhelm I of Prussia, who had a monarchic family history of a mere 160 years, similarly employed symbols to empha­ size his royal status.

  • RE-Mind: (Hi)Stories from the First Public German Dress Collection
    RE-Mind: (Hi)stories from the First Public German Dress Collection Dr. Adelheid Rasche Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg, Germany Abstract: My paper is focusing in two different ways on the collections of the Germanisches National- museum in Nuremberg and its highly important collection of dress and accessories. In a macroscopic perspective, I will show why and how the founders of the museum included a dress collection in their idea of the new museum for the German speaking areas of Middle and Central Europe. In a microscopic perspective, I am presenting the (hi)story of a recently acquired bracelet made of braided hair with an enormous narrative power including the story of a mother and her ten children literally woven into the object. Contents: Origins of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum / Dress and Jewelry Collection / Early Acquisi- tions / Special Exhibitions / A Bracelet from 1855 and its History / Conclusion / References Origins of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum Fig. 1: Carthusian Monastery in Nuremberg, in: Die Gartenlaube, 1877, p. 655. Freiherr Hans von und zu Aufsess, a Franconian noble, trained as a lawyer and with a great passion for history and for collecting, had been trying to establish a central museum of Ger- man history since the 1830s. After some unsuccessful attempts, in 1852 the Germanisches Nationalmuseum was founded with its location in the city of Nuremberg. Aufsess’s extensive private collection formed the nucleus of the new institution. In 1857, King Maximilian II of Bavaria designated the former Nuremberg Carthusian monastery (fig. 1) as the domicile for the steadily increasing museum collection – and this is right the place where the museum is still housed today with quite a lot of later extensions.

  • Karl's Schooling
    Karl’s Schooling A true teacher is a teacher because he cannot help being one. —Karl G. Maeser1 n May 20, 1848, Karl Gottfried Maeser graduated from the Friedrichstadt Teacher College in a suburb of Dresden in the O Kingdom of Saxony. This was the culmination of his very intense formal education and the beginning of his very intense informal education. He knew he must yet complete a two- to three-year appren- ticeship and an examination before he could become a completely certi- fied teacher (Oberlehrer) in the schools of Saxony. In addressing the first baccalaureates of the Brigham Young Academy exactly forty-five years after his own graduation, Dr. Maeser reflected on the speech that one of his professors had delivered and the thoughts that had run through his mind at that earlier time. What a vast difference between his dreams of the future and the events of his life as they turned out! At the time, he had supposed that he would live the simple life of a dedicated schoolmas- ter in his beloved Germany. He would have been relatively comfortable and would have risen in respect among his colleagues. He could not have anticipated how the Lord might have had a different plan for his life. At another graduation at which he spoke, he wryly noted that he would C T never know half as much as he thought he knew when he graduated.2 He could not have anticipated how his unique training and a series of pro- found experiences would yet send him on a journey in a very unexpected direction.

  • Literary Autozoographies: Contextualizing Species Life in German Animal Autobiography
    Article Literary Autozoographies: Contextualizing Species Life in German Animal Autobiography Frederike Middelhoff Graduate School of the Humanities, Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Würzburg 97080, Germany; [email protected] Academic Editor: Joela Jacobs Received: 31 January 2017; Accepted: 6 April 2017; Published: 13 April 2017 Abstract: What does it mean to take animal autobiography seriously and how can we account for the representation of life-narrating animals? The article investigates animal autobiographies as ‘literary autozoographies’, drawing attention to both the generic contexts and the epistemological premises of these texts. Adopting a double-bind approach stemming from autobiographical research as well as cultural animal studies, the article focuses on early nineteenth-century equine autozoographies from the German-speaking tradition. These texts are discussed exemplarily in relation to the parameters of fictional autobiographies, before they are contextualized with historical discourses regarding horses in natural history and so-called ‘horse-science’. Due to the fact that the poetics and aesthetics of the genre are modeled on the templates of factual autobiographies, the article argues that literary autozoographies can be read as fictional autobiographies as well as meta- auto/biographical discourse undermining autobiographical conventions. Furthermore, it shows that literary autozoography and zoology share a common historical and ideological epistemology accounting for the representation of animals in both fields. Literary autozoographies thus participate in the negotiation and production of species-specific knowledge. Reading Life of the Mecklenburg Mare Amante (1804), Life of a Job Horse (1807) and Life of a Worn-Out Hack (1819) alongside equine-centric discourses around 1800, the article demonstrates in what ways these texts can be regarded as part of a regime of knowledge attributing emotions and cognitive capacities to horses, while simultaneously arguing for humane treatment on the basis of interspecies homologies.

  • German Goods, Socialism, and the 1876 Philadelphia World Fairã
    International Review of Social History 46 (2001), pp. 207±226 # 2001 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis ``Cheap and Nasty'': German Goods, Socialism, and the 1876 Philadelphia World Fairà Andrew Bonnell Summary: At the World Fair in Philadelphia in 1876, the German goods on display were described as ``cheap and nasty'', setting off a vigorous debate about the state of German industry. Social democrats attacked policies of increasing competitiveness of German exports through keeping wages low, and claimed that the quality of the goods produced by socialist workers was higher than those produced by others. An analysis of the debate shows the extent to which social democrats not only resorted to arguments stressing the ``national interest'', but also the extent to which nominally Marxist socialists in this period were still attached to traditional artisanal values of pride in the quality of their work. In 1876, the city of Philadelphia celebrated the centennial of the American Revolution, and of the Declaration of Independence adopted in that city on 4 July 1776, by hosting a World's Fair, one of those international showcases of technological triumphs and commercial enterprise which regularly punctuated the late nineteenth-century ``Age of Capital''.1 The democratic and republican festival in the ``city of brotherly love'' provided an opportunity for the newly uni®ed German Reich of Otto von Bis- marck, after a mere ®ve years of existence as a single nation, to display its wares and impress the world ± and some ten million visitors to the Fair2 ± with its engineering prowess. The correspondent of the conservative German family magazine, Die Gartenlaube, recorded for his readers the success of the machinery hall, which was crowded and full of life: à My thanks to Frank Bongiorno for his helpful comments on an earlier draft, and also to the anonymous referees for the IRSH.

  • Kelz on Manz, 'Constructing a German Diaspora: the "Greater German Empire", 1871-1918'
    H-TGS Kelz on Manz, 'Constructing a German Diaspora: The "Greater German Empire", 1871-1918' Review published on Monday, April 3, 2017 Stefan Manz. Constructing a German Diaspora: The "Greater German Empire", 1871-1918. Oxford: Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, 2013. 360 pp. $145.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-415-89226-1. Reviewed by Robert Kelz (University of Memphis, Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures) Published on H-TGS (April, 2017) Commissioned by Benjamin Bryce In Constructing a German Diaspora, Stefan Manz argues that a global web of transnational institutions and communication flows built Imperial German nationalism and diasporic nationhood. Manz’s purview spans five continents, focusing in particular on the construction of diasporic nationhood in Germany, the US Midwest, southern Brazil, the Russian Black Sea and Volga regions, Glasgow, Shanghai, and colonial Africa. For each of these locales, Constructing a German Diaspora deploys case studies in the realms of politics, religion, and education to analyze the structures, mechanics, and limits of diasporization. Crucially, Manz claims that German migrants were active agents. Diasporic identity formation both drove and reflected Imperial Germany’s increasingly aggressive global gaze. This thoroughly researched book comprises six chapters, an introduction, and a conclusion. Manz begins by summarizing eastward, westward, and overseas German migratory patterns from the twelfth century to the eve of World War I. His study highlights the diversity of the German diaspora, including (sometimes multiple) migration patterns, class, religion, integration, alterity, and rural vs. urban environments. Debunking the notion of homogeneous language islands of pure Germanness, the author argues that early settlers in eastern Europe interacted with multiethnic regional populations.

Published by BYU ScholarsArchive, 2006 1 BYU Studies Quarterly, Vol. 45, Iss. 4 [2006], Art. 4 Moritz Busch’s Die Mormonen and the Conversion of Karl G. Maeser A. LeGrand Richards arl G. Maeser’s contributions to the education of nineteenth-century K Latter-day Saints had a profound impact on the history of Mormon- ism, an impact that has reverberated to today. The narrative surrounding Maeser’s conversion has been told and retold for over a century now in the enculturation of students into Brigham Young University’s heritage. This essay seeks to better understand and contextualize the events surrounding Maeser’s conversion and, more specifically, to discuss the text that was most influential in his conversion—the less-than-friendly Die Mormonen by Moritz Busch (1821–99).1 Background Karl Gottfried Maeser was born January 16, 1828, to Johann Gottfried and Hanna Christiana Zocher Maeser in Meissen, Germany, where Johann was a master painter in the famous Meissen porcelain factory.
