  • Gorch Fock Und Der Untergang Der SMS Wiesbaden
    Oliver Mathias Gorch Fock und der Untergang des Kleinen Kreuzers S.M.S. Wiesbaden 1. Einleitung „Was wisst Ihr von Gorch Fock? Nach meinem Tode sprechen wir uns wieder!“1 Gorch Fock, das ist heute nur noch ein verblasster Mythos, ein Name, den zwar jeder kennt, vom dem jedoch nur noch die Wenigsten sagen können, woher er stammt. Das Segelschulschiff der Bundesmarine, welches im Januar 2011 mit einer vermeintlichen Meuterei sowie mit einigen weiteren Skandalmeldungen die Schlagzeilen der deutschen Medien beherrschte, dürfte noch am bekanntesten sein. Den plattdeutschen Volks- und Heimatdichter hingegen dürften außerhalb norddeutscher Sphären nur noch literarisch Interessierte kennen, denn der Lebensweg des Schriftstellers Johann Kinau, dessen bürgerliche Existenz sich hinter dem Pseudonym Gorch Fock verbarg, ist in unserer Zeit beinahe in Vergessenheit geraten. Erst kurz vor Ausbruch der Ersten Weltkrieges zu überregionaler Bekanntschaft in Deutschland gekommen, wurden bereits unmittelbar nach seinem Tod sowohl der Mensch als auch sein literarisches Werk zu einem national- chauvinistischen Mythos verklärt, dabei bedingungslos propagandistisch vereinnahmt, um anschließend lange Zeit missverstanden in der Versenkung zu verschwinden. Erst in der neueren Zeit erfahren sowohl die Person Johann Kinaus als auch seine Texte wieder eine stärkere Wahrnehmung in der Öffentlichkeit 2, wobei man heute vor allem darum bemüht ist, Mensch und Werk möglichst unvoreingenommen und ohne „das überlieferte, teilweise aus politischen Intentionen manipulierte

(December 2011) Bradley M. Cesario, B.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. R.J.Q. Adams Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson’s life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War.

Archibald IUCN/SSC Crane Specialist Group IUCN The World Conservation Union IUCN/Species Survival Commission Donors to the SSC Conservation Communications Fund and The Cranes: Status Survey & Conservation Action Plan The IUCN/Species Survival Commission Conservation Communications Fund was established in 1992 to assist SSC in its efforts to communicate important species conservation information to natural resource managers, deci- sion-makers and others whose actions affect the conservation of biodiversity. The SSC's Action Plans, occasional papers, news magazine (Species), Membership Directory and other publi- cations are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation; to date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to Specialist Groups. As a result, the Action Plan Programme has progressed at an accelerated level and the network has grown and matured significantly. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and sup- port for species conservation worldwide. The Chicago Zoological Society (CZS) provides significant in-kind and cash support to the SSC, including grants for special projects, editorial and design services, staff secondments and related support services. The President of CZS and Director of Brookfield Zoo, George B. Rabb, serves as the volunteer Chair of the SSC. The mis- sion of CZS is to help people develop a sustainable and harmonious relationship with nature. The Zoo carries out its mis- sion by informing and inspiring 2,000,000 annual visitors, serving as a refuge for species threatened with extinction, developing scientific approaches to manage species successfully in zoos and the wild, and working with other zoos, agencies, and protected areas around the world to conserve habitats and wildlife.

SPINOZA The following pages are the outcome of several prolonged visits to Constantinople, Macedonia, and Asiatic Turkey, covering a period of twelve years, from 1896 to 1908. Several of these were made under exceptional circumstances and embody experiences such as do not often fall to the lot of a traveller, some of which, I venture to think, are of lasting public interest. Anyone who has had personal relations with an autocrat—in this case the spiritual head of a faith in which in the course of centuries thousands of millions of human beings have lived and died—ought to have much to tell worth recounting. There were also the surroundings of the Monarch to be observed. Many a trait of deep human interest presented itself to him who was a privileged visitor: for instance, the ups and downs of fortune as they affected the all- powerful favourite whose good offices-as in the time of a Madame de Pompadour—powerful Sovereigns did not think it beneath their dignity to strive and compete for.
