Villa Eugenia was the residence of the last ruling Prince of Hohen- zollern-Hechingen. The building was actually constructed in 1787 as a pleasure-garden house of Prince Joseph Wilhelm. Some 50 years later, Friedrich Wilhelm Constantin and his wife Eugenie, a step-grandchild of Napoleon Bonaparte, had it con- verted into the city palace.

The “Fürstengarten”, as it is now known, is filled with majestic trees, enchanting paths and cosy corners. It has been open to the public since 1850. As a place of retreat with a variety of usable open areas, it is an extremely popular destination in Hechingen year round. The “little white house” situated on the edge of the Fürstengarten had been constructed by the prince in the 19th century as a billiard room. Today it is the exhibit room of the Hechingen Art Association. Villa Eugenia, Protestant Church Fürstengarten of St. John In the Cylinder District The villas of the city elite were built around the Protestant Church of St. Johannes Many of these residents were Prussian officials, referred to as “cylinder wearers” because of their top hats. They were sent from Berlin to Hechingen to run the new administrative district based on Prussian legislation. The last German Crown Prince, Wilhelm, Prince of Prussia, spent his final years at the foot of the family seat in the Hechingen Cylinder District after World War II. He was buried in the St. Michaels Bastion of Hohenzollern Castle. In the year 1850, the former principalities of Hechingen and Sigmaringen were merged to form a Prussian administrative district. The number of Protestants grew with the arrival of Prussian officials and military personnel, as well as the workers employed for the construction of the third castle. As a result, King Frederick William IV built a Protestant church in Hech- ingen in 1856/1857 – the first in Hohenzollern – based on the plans of Friedrich A. Stüler.

  • Return of the Kings. Institutionalization of the Royal Families in the Republics of Romania and Montenegro in the 21St Century
    Marcin M. Wiszowaty* Uniwersytet Gdański RETURN OF THE KINGS. INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE ROYAL FAMILIES IN THE REPUBLICS OF ROMANIA AND MONTENEGRO IN THE 21ST CENTURY 1. In my latest book I took note of the phenomenon which I defined as a “re- publican paradigm in the research on the political systems of modern states”. This trend is very often encountered in the process of analyzing political systems. On one hand, it consist in omitting or marginalizing all characteristic elements of the monarchy, which do not have their republican equivalent, and on the other hand it focuses on democratic aspects of political system, ignoring its monarchic or republican character. This trend mainly results from a commonly-accepted as- sumption, that the so-called constitutional monarchy is only a stage on its way to the inevitable transformation of a political system from the absolute monarchy into the pure republic, which makes it only a transitional form. It brings about the fact that in case of monarchic states, the only subject of political system analysis is usually the monarch himself, as the last remnant of the past monarchy, whereas the other institutions of the monarchic system are ignored in the belief that they constitute insignificant relics, or even that they have already turned fully into the “republican” character.1 One of the consequences of the above-mentioned inter- pretation is a gradual replacement of a traditional categorization into “republics” or “monarchies” by classifying the states as “democratic” or “undemocratic”. As a result, the two categories will encompass both monarchies and republics, ulti- mately reducing the fundamental differences between political systems.

An area was sought which was still relatively safe from air attacks. • South‐West‐Germany had largely been spared from such attacks so far. It was also foreseen that in the event of occupation, hardly any Soviet troops would penetrate into this area. • Walter Gerlach, who studied physics in Tübingen and had been professor there, recalled the area around Hechingen and Haigerloch. He proposed building a laboratory within a bunker in the narrow limestone valley of the Eyach‐River, since it was considered safer from air raids.

  • City of Displacement: on the Unsteadiness of Berlin Sites and Sights1
    WEIMARPOLIS, Multi-disciplinary Journal of Urban Theory and Practice Vol. 1, Issue 2, pp. 53-64, ISSN 1869-1692 City of Displacement: On the unsteadiness of Berlin sites and sights1 Marc Schalenberg Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies Email: [email protected] Abstract This essay starts from the observation that the city of Berlin, throughout the 20th century, has been particularly prone to shift buildings in their entirety or in parts to other sites. These shiftings have to be seen against their specific backgrounds, such as war destruction, technological refurbishment, myth making, symbolic or memory politics by the respective political regime, resuming the “spirit” or name of a place for reasons of identification or marketing. But beyond those, the disposition to translocate can be understood as symptomatic in a city whose narratives, images and practices have been explicitly oriented towards the “new”, “unsteady” and “shiftable”. Attempts to remove material objects – not less than their meanings – are to be found in completely diverse political and cultural contexts. It seems an interesting challenge, therefore, to transcend the level of individual instances of displacements and try to test some concepts recently suggested in Urban Studies, like “habitus” or “intrinsic logic” for Berlin. Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag geht von der in Berlin vor allem im 20. Jahrhundert auffallenden Bereitschaft aus, Bauwerke oder Teile von ihnen an andere Orte der Stadt zu versetzen. Jenseits der konkreten Hintergründe (z.B. Kriegszerstörung, technische Modernisierung, „Mythenbildung“, Symbol- und Erinnerungspolitik des jeweiligen politischen Regimes, Anknüpfen an den „Geist“ eines Ortes bzw. Namens aus identifikatorischen oder kommerziellen Gründen) wird diese Disposition als symptomatisch verstanden für eine Stadt, deren Narrative, (Selbst-) Bilder und Praktiken stark am „Neuen“, „Unsteten“ und „Verrückbaren“ orientiert waren und sind.
