These “Little Germanies” are popular tourist destinations because of their historic and architectural ambiance and the natural beauty of their location. They are “German in every particular,” just as their visitors demand it. A multitude of special events and celebrations add to their popularity and success. Although they have in common their cultural theme and character, they are all very different in regards to their location, history and purpose of their founding, efforts in historic preservation, community profiles, tourism programs, and in many other respects. These “Little Germanies” can be divided into three different categories: “Historic Settlement,” “Theme Town” and “Historic Settlement turned Theme Town.” In their efforts to market themselves as a viable destination to tourists seeking a German cultural experience, America’s “Little Germanies” employ differing approaches and unique characteristics in order to sell a similar product. Whereas the “Historic Settlements” emphasize the substance of their historical significance and German cultural heritage, the “Theme Towns” focus on the surface aspect, the carefully designed alpine- or Bavarian- themed appearance of their town. Frankenmuth, the sole “Historic Settlement turned Theme Town” of this study, although still drawing on its substance, far more emphasizes its surface, its Bavarian village architecture, in its tourist marketing efforts. In this study, Hermann, Missouri, was selected as a prominent example of a town with a distinct and identifiable authentic German heritage and ways. The towns of iv Leavenworth, Washington, and Helen, Georgia, will be included in this study as examples of perceived or assumed German culture. They will serve as examples in our discussion of the phenomenon of the creation of German “Theme Towns,” which do not have any actual German heritage at all, in different areas of the United States. These places are attractive because they give the appearance of German culture, since they adopted an alpine Bavarian architectural theme in the sixties and seventies. The fourth “Little Germany” included in this study is “Michigan’s Little Bavaria,” the town of Frankenmuth. Frankenmuth will serve as an example for a historic German settlement, which in the middle of the twentieth century decided to adopt a Bavarian- inspired alpine architectural theme for its business district in an effort to offer its visitors a more “authentic” German or Bavarian experience. There can be little doubt that the successful preservation and fostering of an ethnic heritage, a worthy endeavor in the eyes of most Americans today, very much depends on its commercial viability. This, on the other hand, brings with it a danger to over-accentuate certain stereotypical aspects of the heritage, which can sometimes even lead to distortion and actual falsification. We have to keep in mind, however, that we are not dealing with the actual culture of Germany proper, but with German culture in the United States. We also must remember that we are not talking about groups like the Amish and Mennonites, who to this day have maintained their unique way of life, separate from their “English” neighbors, ever since establishing their communities in North America. v TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE ......……………………………………………………………….viii America’s “Little Germanies” ..………………………………………….viii Historic Settlements ..…………………………………………………...xi Theme Towns ..…………………………………………………………...xi Historic Settlement turned Theme Town ..…………………………………..xii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS …………………………………………………...xiv INTRODUCTION ......…………………………………………………………1 Organized German Settlement on the American Frontier ..……………………1 CHAPTER 1.

Innumerable towns and areas owe their existence to German settlers. Many of these places are merely identifiable by their name, while others still manage to preserve remnants and traces of their German founders in form of architectural features or historic celebrations. The vast majority of these German towns in America have since become American towns of German origin. Only

  • Introduction
    Introduction Cornelius Torp and Sven Oliver Müller I What sort of structure was the German state of 1871? What sort of powers and phenomena dominated it? What sort of potential for development did it possess? What inheritance did it leave behind? How did it shape the future course of German history? These questions have been at the heart of numerous historical controversies, in the course of which our understanding of Imperial Germany has fundamentally changed. Modern historical research on the German Empire was shaped by two important developments.1 The first was the Fischer controversy at the beginning of the 1960s, which put the question of the continuity of an aggressive German foreign policy from the First to the Second World War onto the agenda, thus providing one of the key impulses for research into the period before 1918.2 The second was a complex upheaval at almost exactly the same time in the historiography of modern Germany in which a particular interpretation of German history before World War I played a central role. The advocates of this interpretation immediately referred to it as a “paradigm change,” a concept then in fashion.3 Indeed, surprisingly quickly, a group of young historians were able to establish across a broad front a new interpretation of modern German history, which broke in many respects with old traditions. In their methodology, the representatives of the so-called “historical social science” (Historische Sozialwissenschaft) turned with verve against the interpretation which had dominated mainstream historiography up till then, which saw the dominant, most important historical actions and actors in politics and the state.

  • Friedrich Schiller - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Friedrich Schiller - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Friedrich Schiller(10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life, Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/johann-wolfgang-von- goethe/">Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe</a>. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision. <b>Life</b> Friedrich Schiller was born on 10 November 1759, in Marbach, Württemberg as the only son of military doctor Johann Kaspar Schiller (1733–96), and Elisabeth Dorothea Kodweiß (1732–1802). They also had five daughters. His father was away in the Seven Years' War when Friedrich was born. He was named after king Frederick the Great, but he was called Fritz by nearly everyone. Kaspar Schiller was rarely home during the war, but he did manage to visit the family once in a while. His wife and children also visited him occasionally wherever he happened to be stationed. When the war ended in 1763, Schiller's father became a recruiting officer and was stationed in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The family moved with him. Due to the high cost of living—especially the rent—the family moved to nearby Lorch.

  • Teaching the Age of Revolutions 2018
    Teaching the Age of Revolutions HA Teacher Fellowship Programme 2018 (Secondary) Ben Walsh Week 4: What were the wider consequences of the Napoleonic Wars? For Week 4 the focus was on the impact of the Napoleonic wars. In recent times, scholars have been emphasising the far reaching effects of these wars. The Fellows were asked to consider some points set out by Dr Ben Marsh of the University of Kent about the wars: Confrontation of larger armies than have taken the field for centuries Regime change, bloodshed, and economic malaise feed off one another Mass conscription and participation brings new styles to global warfare Advances made in technology, recruitment, training, and organisation French pioneer artillery and new infantry formations to great effect British and allies struggle to contain Napoleon but avoid knockout until 1812 Von Clausewitz constructs new theory of war on basis of experiences The Fellows were then asked to suggest how they might use the Battle of Waterloo as a hook to help students to think more widely about the context and impact of the Napoleonic Wars: You can do this by focussing on the domestic impact in Britain or look more widely at the European context. Begin by using the knowledge of Waterloo you gained on the residential and broaden your thinking using the suggested resources below. Your plan should focus on the consequences of the Napoleonic Wars. Some of the Fellows considered ways of giving the Battle a wider and deeper context than they might normally consider, drawing on up to sate scholarship to support this: As Mather's article notes, Napoleon had threatened to invade Britain, but this was not the only reason for the British to become involved in a war against the French.
