It was famous throughout Germany for its castle in which the first King of Prussia, Friedrich I, had been crowned, and after him Wilhelm I, who was to become the first Emperor of re-united Germany. It was equally famous as the birthplace of Immanuel Kant, who had spent his entire life in Königsberg and written his three great Critiques there. Moreover, its University, founded in the earlier part of the sixteenth century, was well-known and in particular its Medical Faculty was considered to be outstanding. Generally, Königsberg enjoyed high cultural standards and an intense intellectual life. It had its own orchestra, and celebrated conductors as well as soloists regularly came to the city where they played to large, enthusiastic audiences. Königsberg could also boast of three theatres, of which the oldest, the municipal theatre, was principally though not exclusively Königsberg’s Opera House. Of the two other theatres one, recently founded and called the ‘New Playhouse’ was meant to introduce the Königsberg public to the modern authors of the day – Ibsen and Gerhart Hauptmann, Wedekind, Shaw and others. The third of these theatres was devoted to operetta. Königsberg also had three daily papers, one of which was long established and had already been published in the time of Kant, who read it regularly, the Hartungsche Zeitung, known throughout Germany for its liberal views as well as for its excellent comment on all cultural aspects of German life. Who could possibly have foreseen in those days that only forty years later the entire population of Königsberg would be expelled and the very name Königsberg extinguished, to be replaced by a Soviet name, Kaliningrad. Around 1900, however, Königsberg flourished, commercially and financially, because of its proximity to Russia. It was in the port of Königsberg that each year the corn newly harvested in Russia and bought from its Russian producers, the great landowners, arrived, and in turn was sold to all parts of Germany and indeed Europe. Silos had been erected along the banks of the river Pregel, Königsberg’s waterway, and an impressive Corn Exchange built in the middle of the city proper served the essential purposes of handling, that is, purchasing and selling the Russian corn. The total population of Königsberg numbered 200.000 to 250.000 and its Jewish community approximately 3.000. Of these, not a few were first or second generation immigrants, mainly from Lithuania and the Ukraine. On the other hand, some of the Jewish families of Königsberg had roots going back several centuries. My maternal grandfather, who had migrated to Königsberg with his family around 1875 was a cornbroker at the Corn Exchange; my father who had come to Königsberg with his parents as a teenager was an importer and seller of corn. He met my mother, then a girl of thirteen, at my grandfather’s, with whom he had close business contacts; he was my mother’s senior by ten years. I have been told that he fell in love with her almost at first sight, and after a courtship lasting eleven years, he and my mother were married in Königsberg on January 10th, 1906. 8 Felix Grayeff: Migrant Scholar My grandparents were observant Jews as was my father, but my mother, who was born in Königsberg, was less religiously inclined. She did not like to be bound by old customs and rites and thought of herself as German – ‘a German citizen of the Jewish faith’. I believe that neither my grandparents nor my mother thought much of Zionism – although a large photograph of Herzl hung in my grandparents’ drawing room –; the former because they were orthodox to the extent of waiting for the Messiah to lead all Jews back to Jerusalem; my mother, for the reason already mentioned. About my father’s attitude I know nothing because he died too early to tell me of his views. I was the elder of my parents’ two children. My sister was born three years and three months after me. She was called Ellen Cassia. Her first name was my mother’s choice; I believe it was Ellen Terry my mother had in mind. Cassia was derived from the name of my paternal grandmother who had died shortly before my sister was born. My sister has always meant a great deal to me and I will have occasion to speak of her in later parts of this book. One of my earliest recollections is of the Kaiser’s state entry into Königsberg in 1910, when I was four. As it happened, the imperial procession passed through the street where we lived, in a second storey flat, not far from the city’s main railway station. On the great day every one of our windows looking out on this street was packed with our relatives and friends, who had come to see the Kaiser. I, of course, being the son of the family, was given a place right by the window. I still vividly remember the imperial cavalcade, with hussars, ulans, cuirassiers and dragoons as outriders, followed by important personages on horseback and in coaches. Then came the imperial coach drawn by eight white horses. I remember the thunderous cheers as the Kaiser, riding in his state coach with the Empress by his side, was passing. He was followed by more members of his suite again in coaches and on horseback and finally by further detachments of cavalry. Incidentally, it was during this visit to Königsberg that Wilhelm made one of his very silly speeches. An election during the summer had gone against him and soon afterwards, the harvest in Silesia turned out to be poor. Wilhelm solemnly proclaimed in Königsberg on this occasion that the poor harvest was God’s punishment for voting against him. – Two things were explained to me. First, that in contrast to the Russian Tsar, who could not move freely amongst his own subjects because of his constant fear of assassination, the Kaiser was so popular and beloved by his people that not even any special police supervision was needed when he rode in public amidst large crowds; and secondly, that the Kaiser was the only gentleman in Germany who sat on the right of his lady, the Empress, whereas in the case of everybody else it was the lady who sat or walked on the right. Well, I was so impressed and stirred up that for days or weeks afterwards my favourite game was ‘Kaiser’s entry’ – for which I created a whole cavalcade in my nursery, with chairs for coaches, tables for horses, men on horseback, cavalry, outriders and so on. Presumably, I myself was the Kaiser, riding in my rocking chair. Incidentally, the word ‘Kaiser’ in those days was used much in the same sense as the prefix ‘super’ is to-day. The best lollies were known as Kaiser-lollies and my mother called me her ‘Kaiser-pet’. My second recollection is a sad one, of my father, fatally ill with cancer of the throat, sitting in his dressing gown in my nursery on my fifth birthday, and watching me play with a train-set he had given me. I somehow felt his deep distress. He knew that death was coming to him, inexorably. Nine days later he died in Wiesbaden where he and my Felix Grayeff: Migrant Scholar 9 mother stopped on their way to Italy, a journey which the doctors had prescribed for him. He was only forty-one. I was five. Of course, I did not grasp then what his loss must mean to me, but when I grew a little older and began to understand, my father, who had generally been held in high regard, (he had made a great success of his business and been wealthy, almost rich) became, as it were, a legend to me. I often thought of him, and I hoped or dreamt that he might come back. In a sense, I believe that nothing in my life ever quite made up for the loss of my father when I was five. So we had become a one-parent-family. My mother, then thirty-one-years old, was competent in every sense, except as regards matters of business, for which she had neither inclination nor had ever been trained.

Eaton 1 Abstract Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 by Nicole M. Eaton Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair “Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948,” looks at the history of one city in both Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Russia, follow- ing the transformation of Königsberg from an East Prussian city into a Nazi German city, its destruction in the war, and its postwar rebirth as the Soviet Russian city of Kaliningrad. The city is peculiar in the history of Europe as a double exclave, first separated from Germany by the Polish Corridor, later separated from the mainland of Soviet Russia. The dissertation analyzes the ways in which each regime tried to transform the city and its inhabitants, fo- cusing on Nazi and Soviet attempts to reconfigure urban space (the physical and symbolic landscape of the city, its public areas, markets, streets, and buildings); refashion the body (through work, leisure, nutrition, and healthcare); and reconstitute the mind (through vari- ous forms of education and propaganda). Between these two urban revolutions, it tells the story of the violent encounter between them in the spring of 1945: one of the largest offen- sives of the Second World War, one of the greatest civilian exoduses in human history, and one of the most violent encounters between the Soviet army and a civilian population.

  • Alfred Baeumler on Hölderlin and the Greeks: Reflections on the Heidegger-Baeumler Relationship (Part II of III)
    Alfred Baeumler on Hölderlin and the Greeks: Reflections on the Heidegger-Baeumler Relationship (Part II of III) Frank Edler Metropolitan Community College [Click here to review part I of the essay.] Preface The second part of this article has taken on a life of its own, so to speak. Before moving on to Heidegger’s view of Hölderlin and the Greeks and then comparing it to Baeumler’s view, I decided to re-examine their political and philosophical relationship in 1932-33 and trace it more clearly. This addition grew into a substantial section of its own and became Part II. Part II Let me go back to the summer of 1932 when Heidegger gave a talk at the Technical University of Dresden at Baeumler’s invitation. The talk that Heidegger gave was some version of "On the Essence of Truth" ("Vom Wesen der Wahrheit"). In the references page to the Pathmarks (Wegmarken) volume, Heidegger notes that this talk was "revised several times" and "delivered on different occasions" beginning in Bremen in 1930. He also mentions that it was given "in summer 1932 in Dresden."1 The latter is clearly the talk given at Baeumler’s invitation. The significance here is that Heidegger had not published anything since 1929; he was in transition and it was unclear where he stood on the issues. Heidegger defends himself on this point in "Facts and Thoughts": Everyone was in a position to know what I thought about the German university and what I considered its most pressing concern. It was to renew itself by returning to its essential ground, which is also the essential ground of the sciences.

  • CLASSICAL” ABOUT CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY? James I

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction WHAT IS “CLASSICAL” ABOUT CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY? James I. Porter What seemed a single escalator, a perpetual recession into history, turns out, on reflection, to be a more complicated movement: Old England, settlement, the rural virtues—all these, in fact, mean different things at different times, and quite different values are being brought into question. —Raymond Williams, The Country and the City In 1930 the field of classical studies experienced an insurrection. Werner Jaeger, in apostasy from his teacher and predecessor at Berlin, Ulrich von Wilamowitz- Moellendorff, convened a conference in Naumburg called “The Problem of the Classical” (“Das Problem des Klassischen”). The apostasy was open and cal- culated. Thirty years earlier Wilamowitz had boasted that he helped put paid to the word classical, which he found meaningless, and in his Geschichte der Philologie from 1921 he notoriously (and audibly) omitted the time-honored epithet of his discipline. (In English the title ought to read, History of [ ] Philology. The published English and Italian translations spoil the title’s sym- bolics by reinserting the missing word classical.)1 As Wilamowitz later wrote to Wolfgang Schadewaldt, one of the participants in the conference and a for- mer pupil, “Whenever I read Die Antike [Jaeger’s neohumanist journal founded in 1925], a millstone starts turning in my head. But the stone grinds no meal, not for me at least.—I have an idea what classical physics is, and there is clas- sical music.

  • BALTIC MEETINGS on the Occasion of the 750Th Anniversary of Königsberg
    BALTIC MEETINGS on the occasion of the 750th Anniversary of Königsberg KALININGRAD 17 – 21 JUNE 2005 Contact culture conference of the Baltic Sea Countries organized by the Baltic Writers’ Council “Creating together” Proceedings Welcome to the “Baltic Meetings” in Kaliningrad! Which of us can honestly say that would have expected to find ourselves in Kaliningrad in the year 2005, revitalizing the tradition of Baltic Meetings as were held long ago in an old Hansetown? But we have been preparing this visit for a long time. In 1992 we travelled the length of the Baltic Sea with 400 writers and translators under the guidance of Peter Curman; we travelled from St. Petersburg to Tallinn, Gdynia, Lübeck, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and back, but we docked in neither Klaipeda nor Kaliningrad. And yet on this ship, the Konstantin Simonov, there was a writer from Kaliningrad who made contact with the small German group, its chairman Uwe Friesel and myself, and so Mr Oleg Glushkin and I came to know each other. We have been close ever since and have become friends without having a language in common. e Kaliningrad Writers’ Union was among the writers’ unions and associations that signed the declaration of intent to create a meeting place for writers and translators in the centre of the Baltic region. is dream became reality in 1993, when the Swedish Ministry of Culture founded the Östersjöns författar- och översättarcentrum, the Baltic Centre for Writers and Translators. Two years later, our Kaliningrad colleagues even became members of the Baltic Writers’ Council, founded in Visby. We have built up a network around the Baltic which is loosely structured but effective enough to mobilize more than 40 writers, translators and other personalities working in the field of culture to come here and visit you, motivated by their own decision and partly paying for the trip themselves, not sent by any government.
