Major Cultural Commemorations and the Construction of National Identity in the GDR 1959-1983 Abstract My thesis asks whether cultural commemorations helped the GDR to build a distinct national identity, and examines the role of political and cultural actors involved in them. Covering different strands of German cultural heritage, the aims, implementations and outcomes of anniversary commemorations are investigated as a longitudinal series of case-studies: Schiller (1959); Kollwitz (1967); Beethoven (1970); and Luther (1983). Substantial evidence from largely unpublished sources exposes recurring gaps between the theory and practice of these commemorations, essentially attributable to manifest examples of agency by commemoration stakeholders. Each commemoration produced some positive legacies. But driven mainly by demarcation motives versus West Germany, the appropriation of these German cultural icons as socialist role-models to promote national identity was mostly unsuccessful in three commemorations. - 
												
												Wissenstransfer Und Gruppenbildung Im Kreis Um Gerhard Scholz (1903–1989)
10.3726/92129_339 339 RALF KLAUSNITZER „So gut wie nichts publiziert, aber eine ganze Generation von Germanisten beeinflußt“. Wissenstransfer und Gruppenbildung im Kreis um Gerhard Scholz (1903–1989) „Der Germanist Gerhard Scholz, zuerst in Wei- mar, dann an der Humboldt-Universität tätig, war gleichfalls Emigrant. Er sammelte um sich einen Kreis junger Leute. Aber ich kannte ihn nicht. Ich erlebte ihn nur einmal“, erinnert sich der erste Direktor des Zentralinstituts für Lite- raturgeschichte an der Akademie der Wissen- schaften der DDR, Werner Mittenzwei: „Als mir 1970 der Lessing-Preis verliehen wurde, hielt er die Laudatio. Obwohl er über eine Stun- de sprach, kamen in seiner Rede die Preisträ- ger nur in einem Nebensatz vor. Seine Rede galt dem Bildnis Lessings auf der Medaille, die ich verliehen bekam. Was er sagte, empfand ich als gescheit, originell, aber er sprach wie traumver- loren. Er hat in seinem ganzen Leben so gut wie nichts publiziert, aber eine ganze Generation Abb. 1 von Germanisten beeinflußt. Als Lehrer muß er eine sokratische Ausstrahlung gehabt haben. Mir blieb dieser Einfluß immer unver- ständlich.“1 Es gibt zahlreiche ähnliche Äußerungen über den 1903 in Liegnitz geborenen und 1936 aus Nazi-Deutschland geflüchteten Literaturforscher, der nach dem tschecho- slowakischen und schwedischen Exil 1946 in die Sowjetische Besatzungszone zurück- kehrte und bildungspolitisch aktiv war, bevor er 1949 die Nachfolge von Hans Wahl als Direktor des Goethe- und Schiller-Archivs in Weimar antrat und hier 1950/51 einen legendär gewordenen Germanistenlehrgang für Nachwuchswissenschaftler leitete, um schließlich von 1959–1969 als Professor für Neuere und Neueste deutsche und nor- dische Literatur an der Humboldt-Universität zu lehren. -

												Introduction: Why Is This Schiller [Still] in the United States?
Introduction: Why Is This Schiller [Still] in the United States? Jeffrey L. High HE INTERNATIONAL SCHILLER CONFERENCE, “Who is this Schiller T[now]?” took place from Thursday 10 September through Saturday 12 September 2009 in the The Karl Anatol Center for Faculty Development at California State University Long Beach (CSULB). This volume com- prises the revised and expanded papers of what was an unusually lively and productive conference on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of Friedrich Schiller’s birth in 1759. The conference featured thirty-one papers in the course of three days. The average paper drew an audience of over eighty listeners, from a high of more than 120 listeners for a paper delivered in English on Thursday to a low of more than sixty-five listeners for a paper delivered in German on a Saturday — on a commuter campus. Although a substantial number of the audience members were academics from other universities in Southern California and from other programs and departments at CSULB, the largest group of audience members was made up of undergraduate and graduate students from CSULB, young people, educated in Southern California, and, once exposed to them, enthusiastic students of Schiller and his works. Why was “Who is this Schiller [now]?” held in the United States and why did a Schiller confer- ence attract such an unusually large and dedicated audience? There are compelling reasons that have deep roots in US political and — to a lesser extent — immigration history; in the parallels between the moral-political philosophy of the founders of the United States and Schiller’s own, and thus in US-American identity formation; and, subsequently, in US theater history and in the most resonant — and Schillerian — tropes of US-American art. -

This thesis, however, is primarily concerned with examination of relevant texts, and is largely confined to the years before the journey to Italy in 1786. The first three chapters cover the period before his arrival in Weimar. This is followed by an account of the relevant works from the first Weimar decade (1775-1786), with some biographical detail. The main weight has fallen on Wilhelm Meisters theatralische Sendung, a text which is still sometimes undervalued, and has a rather limited bibliography.
