  • The German North Sea Ports' Absorption Into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914
    From Unification to Integration: The German North Sea Ports' absorption into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914 Henning Kuhlmann Submitted for the award of Master of Philosophy in History Cardiff University 2016 Summary This thesis concentrates on the economic integration of three principal German North Sea ports – Emden, Bremen and Hamburg – into the Bismarckian nation- state. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Emden, Hamburg and Bremen handled a major share of the German Empire’s total overseas trade. However, at the time of the foundation of the Kaiserreich, the cities’ roles within the Empire and the new German nation-state were not yet fully defined. Initially, Hamburg and Bremen insisted upon their traditional role as independent city-states and remained outside the Empire’s customs union. Emden, meanwhile, had welcomed outright annexation by Prussia in 1866. After centuries of economic stagnation, the city had great difficulties competing with Hamburg and Bremen and was hoping for Prussian support. This thesis examines how it was possible to integrate these port cities on an economic and on an underlying level of civic mentalities and local identities. Existing studies have often overlooked the importance that Bismarck attributed to the cultural or indeed the ideological re-alignment of Hamburg and Bremen. Therefore, this study will look at the way the people of Hamburg and Bremen traditionally defined their (liberal) identity and the way this changed during the 1870s and 1880s. It will also investigate the role of the acquisition of colonies during the process of Hamburg and Bremen’s accession. In Hamburg in particular, the agreement to join the customs union had a significant impact on the merchants’ stance on colonialism.

Content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence eISSN: 2213-0624 Keeping Up with the Dutch Internal Colonization and Rural Reform in Germany, 1800–1914 Elizabeth B. Jones HCM 3 (2): 173–194 http://doi.org/10.18352/hcm.482 Abstract Recent research on internal colonization in Imperial Germany empha- sizes how racial and environmental chauvinism drove plans for agri- cultural settlement in the ‘polonized’ German East. Yet policymakers’ dismay over earlier endeavours on the peat bogs of northwest Germany and their admiration for Dutch achievements was a constant refrain. This article traces the heterogeneous Dutch influences on German internal colonization between 1790 and 1914 and the mixed results of Germans efforts to adapt Dutch models of wasteland colonization. Indeed, despite rising German influence in transnational debates over European internal colonization, derogatory comparisons between medi- ocre German ventures and the unrelenting progress of the Dutch per- sisted. Thus, the example of northwest Germany highlights how mount- ing anxieties about ‘backwardness’ continued to mold the enterprise in the modern era and challenges the notion that the profound German influences on the Netherlands had no analog in the other direction.

Ever since the final partition in 1795, the patriotic poles have held closely in their hearts the idea of a reunited independent country. Uprisings in Russian Poland in 1831, 1 in ualicia in 2 3 1855, and in Russia in 1863 showed that these ideas were alive.

Conrad Stremme, who was educated in Berlin and was a member of the Royal Hannoverian Commission on Public Buildings. Stremme taught architecture at the University of Dorpat in Tartu, Russia, published a book on architecture in 1842, and received the title of nobleman from Czar Nicholas I. Stremme also designed the 1857 main building of the Austin State Hospital (still standing). William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) worked as a draftsman in the General Land Office. The building was used as the opening and setting for one of his short stories, "Bexar Scrip No. 2692": Whenever you visit Austin you should by all means go to see the General Land Office.

  • The German Element in Texas: an Overview
    THE GERMAN ELEMENT IN TEXAS: AN OVERVIEW by Terry G. Jordan The immigration of German-speaking people to Texas is a well-known part of the state's ethnic development. Historians, cultural geographers, linguists, and folklorists all have done research on the Texas Germans and they have published hundreds of articles, books, and pamphlets.' The main purpose of this essay is not to present new findings, but instead to provide an introduction for the volume by sketching an overview of the German settlement. Persons of German birth or descent form the largest ethnic group in Texas derived directly from Europe. As early as 1850, they constituted over five percent of the total Texas population, a proportion that remained fairly constant through the remainder of the nineteenth century (table 1, next page). Intermarriage has since blurred ethnic lines, and twentieth-century census data are of little help in estimating the size of the German-American group, but the German element in the state probably still accounts for about one of every twenty Texans. From the very beginnings of German immigration in the 1830s, a tendency to cluster in ethnic enclaves can be detected. Most Texas Germans live in a broad, fragmented belt across the south-central part of the state, stretching from Galveston and Houston on the east to Kerrville, Mason, and Hondo in the west; from the fertile, humid Gulf Coastal Plain to the semi-arid Hill Country (figure 1). Contained in this German Belt are the majority ofTeutonic settlements in the state, including both rural and urban concentrations. The German Belt is the product of concepts and processes well-known to students of migration, in particular the concept of "dominant personality," the process called "cluster migration," and the device of "emigrant letters." Most voluntary migrations are begun by a dominant personaIity, sometimes also referred to as a "true pioneer." This individual is a forceful, ambitious type, a natural leader, who perceives emigration as a solution to economic, social, political, or religious problems in his homeland.

  • Stemwede Emigrant Database
    STEMWEDE EMIGRANT DATABASE Compiled by: Wilhelm F. Niermann 32351 Stemwede-Wehdem Germany INTRODUCTION This database contains names of emigrants from the present-day district of Stemwede. Following a recent regional reorganization, in 1973, the former districts of Dielingen-Wehdem and Levern were consolidated and the district of " STEMWEDE " created. The new name was chosen because for a thousand years the area along the Stemweder Berg ( mountain ) was populary referred to as Stemwede. The villages of the former district of Dielingen were : Drohne, Dielingen, Haldem and Arrenkamp The villages of the former district of Wehdem were : Westrup, Wehdem, Oppendorf and Oppenwehe The villages of the former district of Levern were : Destel, Levern, Sundern, Twiehausen, Hollwede and Niedermehnen At the time of the emigration the three parishes were Dielingen, Wehdem and Levern. The parish boundaries coincided with the boundaries of the former three districts. Today the district of Oppenwehe is an independent parish. The forces that pushed people to emigrate! The present-day district of Stemwede is representative of the other areas as well. The information presented here comes from the old issues of " Heimat-Blaetter fuer die Grafschaft Diepholz ", ( Regional Pages for the County Diepholz ). The only reference from the 18th century cites a population of 4701 for Dielingen and Wehdem in 1785. By 1820 the population increased by about 100 individuals to 5801. Over the next 25 years, from 1820 to 1845, the population grew by 2406 individuals. With a population of 8826 the peak was reached in the villages that occupied our present-day area. The increase by 3525 people over 63 years, from 1785 to 1848, is a growth of 75 % .

Geiser I The Botanische Zeitung, 5, 447-48, May, 1847, printed the following note by Otto Boeckeler of Varel a/Jahde, Grand­ duchy of Oldenburg. As no further notice appeared in subse­ quent volumes of the journal, and as it poses a problem that has concerned students regarding the identity of the collec­ tor "Vinzent" in Texas, I translate the note freely: Herr Vinzent some years ago settled in Rusk County, northea stern Texas, not fa1· from Crockett. At my suggestion he has devoted him­ self t o collecting plants from that region in considerable n umbers ; a nd some time ago his first shipment of dried plants anived for me t o dispose of. After the names of the plants have been determined (which Professor [Moritz] Seubert has kindly undertaken), I shall offer them to botanical students.
