  • Gorch Fock Und Der Untergang Der SMS Wiesbaden
    Oliver Mathias Gorch Fock und der Untergang des Kleinen Kreuzers S.M.S. Wiesbaden 1. Einleitung „Was wisst Ihr von Gorch Fock? Nach meinem Tode sprechen wir uns wieder!“1 Gorch Fock, das ist heute nur noch ein verblasster Mythos, ein Name, den zwar jeder kennt, vom dem jedoch nur noch die Wenigsten sagen können, woher er stammt. Das Segelschulschiff der Bundesmarine, welches im Januar 2011 mit einer vermeintlichen Meuterei sowie mit einigen weiteren Skandalmeldungen die Schlagzeilen der deutschen Medien beherrschte, dürfte noch am bekanntesten sein. Den plattdeutschen Volks- und Heimatdichter hingegen dürften außerhalb norddeutscher Sphären nur noch literarisch Interessierte kennen, denn der Lebensweg des Schriftstellers Johann Kinau, dessen bürgerliche Existenz sich hinter dem Pseudonym Gorch Fock verbarg, ist in unserer Zeit beinahe in Vergessenheit geraten. Erst kurz vor Ausbruch der Ersten Weltkrieges zu überregionaler Bekanntschaft in Deutschland gekommen, wurden bereits unmittelbar nach seinem Tod sowohl der Mensch als auch sein literarisches Werk zu einem national- chauvinistischen Mythos verklärt, dabei bedingungslos propagandistisch vereinnahmt, um anschließend lange Zeit missverstanden in der Versenkung zu verschwinden. Erst in der neueren Zeit erfahren sowohl die Person Johann Kinaus als auch seine Texte wieder eine stärkere Wahrnehmung in der Öffentlichkeit 2, wobei man heute vor allem darum bemüht ist, Mensch und Werk möglichst unvoreingenommen und ohne „das überlieferte, teilweise aus politischen Intentionen manipulierte

Adams Committee Members, Adam Seipp James Hannah Head of Department, David Vaught December 2011 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT “Trafalgar Refought”: The Professional and Cultural Memory of Horatio Nelson During Britain’s Navalist Era, 1880-1914. (December 2011) Bradley M. Cesario, B.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. R.J.Q. Adams Horatio Lord Nelson, Britain’s most famous naval figure, revolutionized what victory meant to the British Royal Navy and the British populace at the turn of the nineteenth century. But his legacy continued after his death in 1805, and a century after his untimely passing Nelson meant as much or more to Britain than he did during his lifetime. This thesis utilizes primary sources from the British Royal Navy and the general British public to explore what the cultural memory of Horatio Nelson’s life and achievements meant to Britain throughout the Edwardian era and to the dawn of the First World War.

The Visits of the German War Cruiser Karlsruhe By Simone Santiago Ramos The use of ships for training cruises is a German tradition that goes back to the Prussian corvette Amazone in the mid-1850s which visited ports along the North Sea. 1 After the unification of Germany in 1871, the Imperial German Navy continued the practice. By the late nineteenth century, Germany possessed a colonial empire scattered around the globe, and “showing the flag” was essential. These cruises not only strengthened the ties between the emigrants and the homeland, but also helped improve relationships with the visited countries. During the Great War the training ceased, and it took several years for the new German government, the Weimar Republic, to restart them.
