A brave step that Leinefelde took early on. Fotos: city archive Page 6 The city and its districts Worbis ‐ the Half‐timbered Town Worbis. The district of Worbis is located in a valley basin bounded by the heights of the Klien and the Ohm Mountains. The highest peaks of the Ohm Mountains rise to 535 meters. A watershed between the Elbe and the Weser separates the source areas of the Hahle (to the Weser) and the Wipper (to the Elbe). With around 4700 in‐ habitants, Worbis is the second largest district in the city of Lei‐ nefelde‐Worbis. The origins of Worbis lie in a Slavic (Wendish) settlement. The economic development of the place was favored by its lo‐ cation on the old trade and later military road. It connected Mühlhausen in northern Thu‐ ringia with the Lower Saxony and Westphalia region. As early as 1255, the Counts of Beichlingen elevated the place, first mentioned in 1162, to a town. Today Worbis is a member of the Deutsche Fach‐ werkstraße. If you take a look at the historic town center of Worbis, you will notice the many beautiful half‐timbered buildings. The majority is dated to the Baroque to Biedermeier period, but some half‐timbered buildings are much older. The worth seeing office building or “Rentamt”, built on the founda‐ tions of the moated castle, dates back to 1575, and today this house is part of the city ad‐ ministration. The monastery church “St. Antonius” is one of the most beautiful churches in the Eichs‐ feld and belongs to the former Franciscan monastery, which is being converted into the new seat of the Leinefelde‐Worbis city administration. The Bear Mile runs through the city center of Worbis. Here children are invited to discover Worbis and learn about bears, their diet, the bear as a symbo‐ lic animal and Indians. The bear mile indicates the alternative bear park, which was built on the outskirts instead of the for‐ mer zoo. In the Bear Park, bears live peacefully with wolves and often experience the great out‐ The registry office in the Rentamt is popular with wedding couples.

The historic center of Beuren can be seen as a monu‐ ment ensemble: In addition to the church consecrated to St. Pankratius, the “Old Tower”, formerly a customs and resi‐ dential tower, defines the picture. On the western edge of the village is the Cistercian mo‐ nastery of Beuren, which was founded around 1200 and is the oldest monastery of this order in the Eichsfeld. South from Beuren you find the Scharfenstein Castle on a mountain spur ‐ a popular des‐ tination yesterday as it is today. The old tower and the monastery are the landmarks of Beuren.

  • MILTENBERG (On MAIN River)
    VIKING TRAVELOG GRAND EUROPEAN RIVER CRUISE RHINE-MAIN-DANUBE RIVERS DAY 5 – MILTENBERG (on MAIN River) We were now entering the scenic part of our journey through the narrower Main River, which would lead to the Rhine-Main-Danube canal, and then on to the Danube River. Plan for the Day: The morning is spent sailing along the beautiful Main River as it winds its way through the Spessart region, home of the actual Snow White. During our sail, be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to learn about the region’s glassblowing traditions during a live demonstration. After lunch, we stop in Miltenberg, known for its half-timbered houses and Germany’s oldest inn. Join our walking tour that concludes with free time for you to explore. We sail through the night. 1 When I woke up in the morning, I noticed from the Ship Tracker that we had sailed past Frankfurt am Main and were on our way south to Miltenberg. I also checked the weather report for the day, and the forecast for the next five days (low 70’s F, mostly cloudy). 2 Elsa was happiest in the morning after she had her cup of coffee. After breakfast we continued to watch the scenery of the countryside pass by. We were interrupted time after time by the inevitable locks that impeded our progress. 3 The Main is navigable for shipping from its mouth at the Rhine close to Mainz for 396 km (246 mi) to Bamberg. Since 1992, the Main has been connected to the Danube via the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal.

  • Jeder Treu Auf Seinem Posten: German Catholics
    JEDER TREU AUF SEINEM POSTEN: GERMAN CATHOLICS AND KULTURKAMPF PROTESTS by Jennifer Marie Wunn (Under the Direction of Laura Mason) ABSTRACT The Kulturkampf which erupted in the wake of Germany’s unification touched Catholics’ lives in multiple ways. Far more than just a power struggle between the Catholic Church and the new German state, the conflict became a true “struggle for culture” that reached into remote villages, affecting Catholic men, women, and children, regardless of their age, gender, or social standing, as the state arrested clerics and liberal, Protestant polemicists castigated Catholics as ignorant, anti-modern, effeminate minions of the clerical hierarchy. In response to this assault on their faith, most Catholics defended their Church and clerics; however, Catholic reactions to anti- clerical legislation were neither uniform nor clerically-controlled. Instead, Catholics’ Kulturkampf activism took many different forms, highlighting both individual Catholics’ personal agency in deciding if, when, and how to take part in the struggle as well as the diverse factors that motivated, shaped, and constrained their activism. Catholics resisted anti-clerical legislation in ways that reflected their personal lived experience; attending to the distinctions between men’s and women’s activism or those between older and younger Catholics’ participation highlights individuals’ different social and communal roles and the diverse ways in which they experienced and negotiated the dramatic transformations the new nation underwent in its first decade of existence. Investigating the patterns and distinctions in Catholics’ Kulturkampf activism illustrates how Catholics understood the Church-State conflict, making clear what various groups within the Catholic community felt was at stake in the struggle, as well as how external factors such as the hegemonic contemporary discourses surrounding gender roles, class status, age and social roles, the division of public and private, and the feminization of religion influenced their activism.

Nature has been left to its own devices here, not because we want to forget, but because we want to remember. Scores of people visit the Green Belt in an attempt to come to terms with history: the history of their country, their mothers and fathers, relatives, friends or even their own personal fate.

The Long-Standing Demographic East-West-Divide in Germany Sebastian Klüsener and Joshua R. Goldstein Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research 1 Abstract Over the last 20 years, a large number of studies have looked at the demographic differences between the previously divided eastern and western parts of Germany. The two regions have converged with respect to mortality and overall fertility levels. But in family formation behaviour differences remain. Non-marital births are the norm in eastern Germany, while they are still the exception in western Germany. Various explanations for these differences have been offered, with the most persuasive linking policy and socio-economic conditions in eastern and western Germany after 1945 with the persistence of local patterns. Here we show that the non-marital fertility divide pre- dates the 1945-division of Germany. Indeed, already in the late 19th century, the areas of eastern Germany that made up the German Democratic Republic had, on average, roughly twice the non-marital fertility level of western Germany.

  • Catholic and Protestant Faith Communities in Thuringia After the Second World War, 1945-1948

German society was disorientated and the Catholic and Protestant churches were the only surviving mass institutions that remained relatively independent from the former Nazi State. Allowed a general religious freedom by the occupying forces, the churches provided the German population with important spiritual and material support that established their vital post-war role in society. The churches enjoyed widespread popular support and, in October 1946, over 90 percent of the population in the Soviet zone (SBZ) claimed membership in either confession.
