The leaders of the Haganah and Histadrut transformed the Haganah with the help of the Jewish Agency from a more or less untrained militia into a paramilitary group. The organization, led by Yisrael Galili (1911–1986), which in the rapidly growing Jewish towns had approximately 10,000 members, continued to be subordinate to the civilian leadership of the Histadrut.

  • From Charlemagne to Hitler: the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and Its Symbolism
    From Charlemagne to Hitler: The Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and its Symbolism Dagmar Paulus (University College London) [email protected] 2 The fabled Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire is a striking visual image of political power whose symbolism influenced political discourse in the German-speaking lands over centuries. Together with other artefacts such as the Holy Lance or the Imperial Orb and Sword, the crown was part of the so-called Imperial Regalia, a collection of sacred objects that connotated royal authority and which were used at the coronations of kings and emperors during the Middle Ages and beyond. But even after the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the crown remained a powerful political symbol. In Germany, it was seen as the very embodiment of the Reichsidee, the concept or notion of the German Empire, which shaped the political landscape of Germany right up to National Socialism. In this paper, I will first present the crown itself as well as the political and religious connotations it carries. I will then move on to demonstrate how its symbolism was appropriated during the Second German Empire from 1871 onwards, and later by the Nazis in the so-called Third Reich, in order to legitimise political authority. I The crown, as part of the Regalia, had a symbolic and representational function that can be difficult for us to imagine today. On the one hand, it stood of course for royal authority. During coronations, the Regalia marked and established the transfer of authority from one ruler to his successor, ensuring continuity amidst the change that took place.

  • Geo-Spatial Analysis of Population Density and Annual Income to Identify Large-Scale Socio-Demographic Disparities
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Geo-Spatial Analysis of Population Density and Annual Income to Identify Large-Scale Socio-Demographic Disparities Nicolai Moos * , Carsten Juergens and Andreas P. Redecker Geomatics Group, Institute of Geography, Faculty of Geosciences, Ruhr University Bochum, D-44870 Bochum, Germany; [email protected] (C.J.); [email protected] (A.P.R.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This paper describes a methodological approach that is able to analyse socio-demographic and -economic data in large-scale spatial detail. Based on the two variables, population density and annual income, one investigates the spatial relationship of these variables to identify locations of imbalance or disparities assisted by bivariate choropleth maps. The aim is to gain a deeper insight into spatial components of socioeconomic nexuses, such as the relationships between the two variables, especially for high-resolution spatial units. The used methodology is able to assist political decision-making, target group advertising in the field of geo-marketing and for the site searches of new shop locations, as well as further socioeconomic research and urban planning. The developed methodology was tested in a national case study in Germany and is easily transferrable to other countries with comparable datasets. The analysis was carried out utilising data about population density and average annual income linked to spatially referenced polygons of postal codes. These were disaggregated initially via a readapted three-class dasymetric mapping approach and allocated to large-scale city block polygons. Univariate and bivariate choropleth maps generated Citation: Moos, N.; Juergens, C.; from the resulting datasets were then used to identify and compare spatial economic disparities for a Redecker, A.P.

  • Abuse Report Exonerates Cologne Cardinal, Incriminates Hamburg Archbishop
    Abuse report exonerates Cologne cardinal, incriminates Hamburg archbishop COLOGNE, Germany (CNS) — A much-anticipated report on the handling of abuse cases in the Archdiocese of Cologne exonerates Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki but incriminates Hamburg Archbishop Stefan Hesse and Cologne Auxiliary Bishop Dominik Schwaderlapp. The report by the law firm Gercke Wollschläger accuses Cardinal Woelki’s predecessors, the deceased Cardinals Joseph Höffner (1906-1987) and Joachim Meisner (1933-2017), of many breaches of duty in the handling of abuse cases — in terms of state and church law as well as in terms of the church’s self- understanding, the German Catholic news agency KNA reported. The report also incriminates the former vicar general, Father Norbert Feldhoff, and the head of the Cologne church court, Father Günter Assenmacher, who is accused of having given inaccurate legal information in two cases. In an immediate reaction to the findings, Cardinal Woelki relieved Bishop Schwaderlapp and Father Assenmacher of their duties, KNA reported. The cardinal said he would now have to read the report in the next few days and consider further consequences. He added that he was not authorized to act in all cases, for example regarding diocesan bishops. “I will therefore forward the report to Rome today,” the cardinal said. The debate surrounding the investigation into past abuse in the biggest diocese in the German-speaking world has been making headlines for months. Several German bishops have repeatedly complained that the events in Cologne were damaging the entire church in Germany. Church membership resignations there have reached unprecedented levels. Cardinal Woelki had originally commissioned another law firm to conduct the report but then refused to allow its publication because he considered it to be deficient.

  • Hanseatic League, 1370
    Hanseatic League, 1370 “The lust for buying and selling was strong in their blood, and, under the most fearful conditions of hardship and danger, they went their weary way over the ill-conditioned roads to convey their merchandise from place to place, braving the dangers of pillage and death at the hands of the various Barons and powerful dignitaries of the Church—for their holy calling did not make the latter any less eager for temporal riches.” —Elizabeth Gee Nash, The Hansa: Its History and Romance Dear Delegates, It is with great excitement and pleasure that I welcome everyone to the Hanseatic League! My name is Bob Zhao. I am a sophomore studying Economics and Computer Science, and I will be directing the Hanseatic League committee over the course of the weekend. I’m originally from Memphis, Tennessee, and have been involved with Model UN since my freshman year of high school. After attending WUMUNS my freshman year, I was absolutely hooked, and it became the conference I most looked forward to every year afterward. I am so excited to relive one of my favorite parts of high school with you all and to explore this fascinating period of history throughout the three days of WUMUNS XI. The Hanseatic League is one of the earliest and most important, yet least known, economic unions in European history, the influence of which can be seen in the trade confederations of Renaissance Italy, the rise of the German states in the late 1800s, and even the modern European Union. Many of the economic idiosyncrasies of the modern European system can be traced back to the formative years of the Hanseatic League, which, in addition to being an important economic collective in continental Europe, was an extremely influential political force in the pre-Reformation golden years of the Holy Roman Empire.
