Kaiser Wilhelm II, Was Aggressive Minorities, Including Serbs, Within Its Own Borders 1 THE TROUBLED CONTINENT 1870 – 1914 In the early 20th century, Europe was dominated by ambitious imperial states. This produced an unstable international system and fueled an arms race. War broke out in Europe with the assassination of Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand in the summer of 1914.

  • Reshaping a Tradition. Founding the Habsburg-Lorraine Dynastic State in the 18Th Century
    Исторические исследования www.historystudies.msu.ru _____________________________________________________________________________ Лебо К. Reshaping a tradition. Founding the Habsburg-Lorraine dynastic state in the 18th century Аннотация: В статье исследуются компоненты власти в композитарной монархии Габсбургов и конструирование политической легитимности посредством управленческих практик, сочинений, речей и изображений. Монархия Габсбургов в XVIII в. не представляла собой однородного целого, объединяя территории с различной степенью интеграции. Выборность корон и их переходы от одной ветви рода к другой создавали сложную ситуацию, в которой Габсбургам удавалось утвердить свое господство, сочетая следование традиции и изменения. Административные реформы поддерживались символическим дискурсом. Династический дискурс пришел на смену истории правящего дома и стал способом утвердить принцип государственного интереса. Власть династии была основана на доминировании над территорией. Новые вертикальные связи исходили от Марии Терезии, распространяя ее господство за пределы владений Австрийского дома. На своих более чем двухстах портретах Мария Терезия всегда изображалась с регалиями, вид которых варьировался в зависимости от места, где картина должна была находиться, с тем, чтобы подчеркнуть своеобразие каждой территории и единство монархии, связь между правителем и подвластной территорией.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • DANCE of DEATH Hubert Klocker It Would Be A
    D ANCE O f DEATH It would be a misunderstanding to interpret Helmut Lang’s “Pillars”, Hubert Klocker “Spikes”, and “Planes” as abstractions. On the contrary, this group of works, which has taken shape in his studio over recent years, is about a process of reduction, condensation, and concen- tration of concrete corporeal values. For is there anything more inescapable and concrete than death? Owing particularly to their ragged, torn or fragmentary appearance, Lang’s objects stand for structures of organic material, rotted organisms, and bodies laid open down to their bones, and are visualizations of an apocalyptic pro- cess that eludes abstract language. They perhaps even convey the dark aura of the cult of the dead that, turned into gilded stone, is represented by the plague columns erected on the main squares of some Central European towns. In their magnifcent but ambivalent this-worldly sensuality, they are memo- rials to the horrifc epidemics of the 17th century — stone monuments to mental repression. One of the most splendid of these idols commemorates, with a his- trionic gesture, the 12,000 lives taken, by the lowest estimate, within a period of a few months in the last big plague epidemic to strike the city of Vienna in 1679. An inscription on the column built some twenty years later in praise of the Curia and the Habsburg system of rule is a testament not only to the all-too-ready ostrichism of the population, but rather to the manipula- tive sophistication of the secular and ecclesiastical aristocracy. It suggests that by the highest goodness of the Holy Trinity, the death of the plague was warded off.

  • The Reigning Woman As a Heroic Monarch? Maria Theresa Traced As Sovereign, Wife, and Mother
    The Reigning Woman as a Heroic Monarch? Maria Theresa Traced as Sovereign, Wife, and Mother Anne-Marie Metzger The Empress is one of the most beautiful princesses in Europe: despite all her vigils and puerperia, she has held up very well. When she was younger, she loved hunting, games, and theatre. Today, her only pleasures are governing her empire and the education of her children.1 This quotation from Carl Joseph, Baron of Fürst and Kupferberg, contains essen- tial aspects that can be found very often in representations of Maria Theresa: the dual nature of her representation, namely on one hand the monarch and on the other the mother. Maria Theresa consciously used – among others – these two elements to create her identity. It is interesting to see how contemporaries per- ceived these two contrary public personas and how these personas promoted the adoration of Maria Theresa as an “Austrian heroine”,2 as she was called in a eulo- gy for her husband, Francis Stephen.3 The impact was at any rate so strong that 1 All English translations, unless otherwise indicated, are my own. “Die Kaiserin ist eine der schönsten Prinzessinnen Europas: all ihren Nachtwachen und Wochenbetten zum Trotz hat sie sich sehr gut erhalten. Früher liebte sie Jagd, Spiel und Theater. Das einzige, woran sie jetzt Geschmack findet, ist die Regierung ihres Staates und die Erziehung ihrer Kinder.” Carl Joseph Maximilian Freiherr von Fürst und Kupferberg.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

  • Vienna Guide
    April 22—24, 2015, Vienna, Austria Hotel Park Royal Palace Vienna Guide SIGHTSEEING Vienna is old, Vienna is new… and the sights are so varied: from the magnificent Baroque buildings to “golden” Art Nouveau to the latest architecture. And over 100 museums beckon… ALBERTINA The Albertina has the largest and most valuable graphical collection in the world, including works such as Dürer’s “Hare” and Klimt‘s studies of women. Its latest exhibition presents masterpieces of the Modern era, spanning from Monet to Picasso and Baselitz. As the largest Hapsburg residential palace, the Albertina dominates the southern tip of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining fortress walls in Vienna. ANKER CLOCK This clock (built 1911–14) was created by the painter and sculptor Franz von Matsch and is a typical Art Nouveau design. It forms a bridge between the two parts of the Anker Insurance Company building. In the course of 12 hours, 12 historical figures (or pairs of figures) move across the bridge. Every day at noon, the figures parade, each accompanied by music from its era. AUGARTEN PORCELAIN MANUFacTORY Founded in 1718, the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory is the second-oldest in Europe. Now as then, porcelain continues to be made and painted by hand. Each piece is thus unique. A tour of the manufactory in the former imperial pleasure palace at Augarten gives visitors an idea of how much love for detail goes into the making of each individual piece. The designs of Augarten have been created in cooperation with notable artists since the manufactory was established.

    NIXE III PROJECT 2010 – 2015 ARCHDUKE LUDWIG SALVATOR 1) PERSONAL TRAITS 2) HIS WORKS 3) SOME ANECDOTES 1) PERSONAL TRAITS Naturalist, traveller, author, artist, unconditional fan of Mallorca and one of the oddest Archdukes: First impressions of Ludwig Salvator, House of Hapsburg-Lorraine “I would have liked to have been that Archduke who owned half the coast and was visited by the Empress Sisi on her yacht.” With these words, the King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, declared his admiration for the beauty of Mallorca in an interview. Every year he spends his summer holidays in Marivent Palace near Palma de Mallorca, his stay representing a break from official obligations. That notwithstanding, the moments he can actually escape from protocol and formalities and feel like a normal citizen are scarce. His distant relative, Archduke Ludwig Salvator (1847-1915), however, spent his entire life laughing at protocol. The Archduke came to the island for the first time in 1867 and left in 1915 to wait out the end of the First World War in his castle in Brandeis in north-east Bohemia near Prague. He would never return to the island where he had chosen to live and which had become his true home after many years. Nearly 45 years would transpire between his birth in Florence and his later death in Brandeis, 45 years under the southern sun, happy, satisfying and fulfilling years. He was a man who knew how to live and for whom his social rank was neither a weight nor a pretext for doing nothing. Taking advantage of his possibilities, he became an avid student of the Mediterranean, always with an urgency to observe, travel, write, learn and preserve.
