    Niedersachsen/Bremen/Hamburg/Ostfriesland Resources Introduction to Lower Saxony, Bremen & Hamburg Wikipedia states in regard to the regions of this modern German Bundesland: “Lower Saxony has clear regional divisions that manifest themselves both geographically as well as historically and culturally. In the regions that used to be independent, especially the heartlands of the former states of Brunswick, Hanover, Oldenburg and Schaumburg- Lippe, there is a marked local regional awareness. By contrast, the areas surrounding the Hanseatic cities of Bremen and Hamburg are much more oriented towards those centres.” A number of the Map Guides to German Parish Registers will need to be used to find your town if you are studying this region, among them numbers 4 (Oldenburg), 10 (Hessen-Nassau), 27 (Brunswick), 30-32 (Hannover), 39 (Westphalia & Schaumburg- Lippe) Online (a sampling) Niedersächsische Landesarchiv — http://aidaonline.niedersachsen.de Oldenburg emigrants — http://www.auswanderer-oldenburg.de Ahnenforschung.org “Regional Research” — http://forum.genealogy.net Hamburg Gen.

  • The Friedland Refugee Transit Camp As Regulating Humanitarianism, 1945-1960
    “GATEWAY TO FREEDOM”: THE FRIEDLAND REFUGEE TRANSIT CAMP AS REGULATING HUMANITARIANISM, 1945-1960 DEREK JOHN HOLMGREN A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher R. Browning Chad Bryant Tobias Hof Donald J. Raleigh © 2015 Derek John Holmgren ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Derek John Holmgren: “Gateway to Freedom”: The Friedland Refugee Transit Camp as Regulating Humanitarianism, 1945-1960 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) Using the refugee transit camp located in Friedland, Lower Saxony as a case study, this dissertation examines the efforts in West Germany to aid and resettle millions of persons displaced during and after World War II. These uprooted populations included foreign victims of the Nazi regime (forced laborers, prisoners of war, and concentration camp survivors), Germans evacuated from bombed-out cities, Germans fleeing or expelled from from Eastern Europe, and German soldiers who were demobilized and released from prisoner of war camps. Established by order of the British military government in September 1945, the camp at Friedland functioned as the lynchpin for a system designed to collect, aid, register, and resettle displaced populations as quickly as possible. As such, this study describes the operation of the camp as a regulating form of humanitarianism that not only aided refugees with food, shelter, and medical services, but also turned unmanageable masses into settled individuals with claims on the postwar welfare state. Between 1945 and 1960, the camp processed over 2.1 million individuals.

  • THE ILLUSTRIOUS HOUSE of HANOVER Ann Lyon
    Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review (2015) 1 THE ILLUSTRIOUS HOUSE OF HANOVER Ann Lyon1 The illustrious House of Hanover, And Protestant succession To them obedience do I swear While they can hold possession And in my faith and loyalty, I never more will falter And George my lawful king shall be! Until the times do alter. Anon. The Vicar of Bray, eighteenth-century satirical song Abstract The Hanoverian kings have attracted none of the affection the popular imagination accords to the Tudors and Stuarts, still less the romanticism. They are dismissed as a boorish bunch of Germans, with the possible exception of George III, who went mad and lost America, and perhaps George IV, who left the Brighton Pavilion as a monument to extravagance and had a decidedly colourful matrimonial history. When a reporter described the Queen as a 'scowly, jowlly Hanoverian', he was not being complimentary, and even Diana Princess of Wales once attributed many of her problems to marrying into a ‘German’ family. The truth is, as usual, more complex and infinitely more interesting, but, regrettably, little official notice is being taken of the 300th anniversary of the Hanoverian succession this year. This article seeks to redress the balance a little. Keywords: House of Hanover, royal succession, constitutional history, Act of Settlement Introduction Apart from a diversion through the female line in the person of Queen Victoria, and a change of name to Windsor, the House of Hanover has remained in place since 1714, to become the most enduring dynasty to
