The German Presence in Quebec City
The German Presence in the Quebec City Region Researched and compiled by Jacques Gagné [email protected] Last updated: 2016-01-05 1 Map of Quebec City and surrounding area 2 Ursuline Convent and Chapel Quebec City Saint Michael Church Sillery Holy Trinity Church Quebec City 3 The German Presence in the Quebec City Region Researched and compiled by Jacques Gagné [email protected] Last updated: 2016-01-05 Centuries after Hans Bernhard settled in New France, 100,000 people in Québec claim German origins. They may be Francophone descendants of mercenaries in the 18th century or Anglophone immigrants of the 1950s. In the 1980s, after a long period of official downplaying of the presence of the Germans, some German-Canadian leaders fought for recognition of the German contribution to a multicultural Canada. Many German-Quebecers took over this discourse, but some refused the idea of a German ‘founding people’ and insisted on the distinct role of their Francophone society. Furthermore, even in Canada, post-war immigrants had to come to terms with the German past; the victimisation often characterized the German- Canadian press, since readers many, of whom lived in Québec often were expellees of the German ‘eastern territories’ and the few exiles often chose to stay invisible. Thus for its citizens of German heritage, Québec became the place of encounter of several competing identity discourses, whether it was about the role of Francophones in Canadian history or about the role of Germans.

Architectural Identity of Old Quebec
The British Contribution to the Architectural Identity of Old Quebec Quebec today is championed as a monument to the French presence in North America. In fact, it is for this role, and for its identity as a fortified town, that the historic district of Old Quebec was nominated to UNESCO's distinguished list of world heritage sites. But while Quebec thrives today as an indisputably French city, it was not always so. Figure 1. The Anglican cathedral, Quebec City, about 1930. (Archives nationales du Quebec, GH·573·54) 4 SSAC BULLETIN SEAC 21 :1 T'fhe long process by which Quebec's French identity and image 1 ~ere shaped (beginning with Confederation, which officially established Canada's cultural duality) has been explained on numer ous occasions.1 Briefly, the process of creating a French identity for the capital of the province of Quebec2 began with the late-19th century penchant for creating history. This popular movement saw the introduction of buildings and monuments inspired by French architecture of the 16th and 17th centuries, giving Quebec the desired image of historical continuity. Later, the liberal ideol ogy of men such as Lomer Gouin and Louis-Alexandre Taschereau, who were striving to create a secular state, resulted in the French model being imposed upon institutions, obliging them to be built in the architectural style taught at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.3 Subsequently, beginning in the 1930s, Taschereau's Liberals sought to give the province a capital city worthy of the name, whose supremacy, without breaking with continuity, would inevi tably come to be taken for granted.
