  • City of Displacement: on the Unsteadiness of Berlin Sites and Sights1
    WEIMARPOLIS, Multi-disciplinary Journal of Urban Theory and Practice Vol. 1, Issue 2, pp. 53-64, ISSN 1869-1692 City of Displacement: On the unsteadiness of Berlin sites and sights1 Marc Schalenberg Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies Email: [email protected] Abstract This essay starts from the observation that the city of Berlin, throughout the 20th century, has been particularly prone to shift buildings in their entirety or in parts to other sites. These shiftings have to be seen against their specific backgrounds, such as war destruction, technological refurbishment, myth making, symbolic or memory politics by the respective political regime, resuming the “spirit” or name of a place for reasons of identification or marketing. But beyond those, the disposition to translocate can be understood as symptomatic in a city whose narratives, images and practices have been explicitly oriented towards the “new”, “unsteady” and “shiftable”. Attempts to remove material objects – not less than their meanings – are to be found in completely diverse political and cultural contexts. It seems an interesting challenge, therefore, to transcend the level of individual instances of displacements and try to test some concepts recently suggested in Urban Studies, like “habitus” or “intrinsic logic” for Berlin. Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag geht von der in Berlin vor allem im 20. Jahrhundert auffallenden Bereitschaft aus, Bauwerke oder Teile von ihnen an andere Orte der Stadt zu versetzen. Jenseits der konkreten Hintergründe (z.B. Kriegszerstörung, technische Modernisierung, „Mythenbildung“, Symbol- und Erinnerungspolitik des jeweiligen politischen Regimes, Anknüpfen an den „Geist“ eines Ortes bzw. Namens aus identifikatorischen oder kommerziellen Gründen) wird diese Disposition als symptomatisch verstanden für eine Stadt, deren Narrative, (Selbst-) Bilder und Praktiken stark am „Neuen“, „Unsteten“ und „Verrückbaren“ orientiert waren und sind.

    Explore the highlights of the Hohenzollern Route and discover the history of one of Germany’s most influential dynasties. BY ZAC STEGER Castles of a Dynasty— The Hohenzollern Route he year 2008 quietly marked ninety years since Kaiser Wilhelm II was forced to abdicate, bringing an end to World War I and TImperial Germany. As one of the oldest and most influential families in Europe, the Hohenzollerns had made the Kingdom of Prus- sia the most dominant German-speaking power and, under the guid- ance of Otto von Bismarck, united the various duchies, principalities, and kingdoms into the German Empire. Their story begins far from Berlin in the hills of Swabia along the Hohenzollernstrasse (Hohen- zollern Route), where two castles explore the history of one of Europe’s Top: Sigmaringen Castle. Above: most powerful dynasties. Portraits of the Hohenzollern family and the original castle guestbook. Courtesy Stretching around three hundred kilometers, the Hohenzollern Zac Steger. Route takes visitors through the former territories of the family in southern Baden-Württemberg. Sights include the moated castle at Glatt, Beuron Abbey, and Schloss Haigerloch, site of the world’s first 40 GERMAN LIFE · AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2009 atomic reactor. However, two castles are must-sees: the ancestral seat of Burg Hohenzollern and Schloss Sigmaringen, seat of the Swabian family line. A medieval chronicle traces the origins of the House of Hohen- zollern back to the brothers Burchard and Wezil von Zollern, two knights who died in battle in 1061. It was in this same century that the first Hohenzollern fortress near Hechingen is mentioned, though little is known about it.
