Ordensjournal Ausgabe 21 Anmerkungen Zu Ausgewählten Auszeichnungen März 2011
Ordensjournal Ausgabe 21 Anmerkungen zu ausgewählten Auszeichnungen März 2011 Impressum / © : Uwe Brückner / Am Tegeler Hafen 6 / 13507 Berlin E-Mail: [email protected] URL: http://www.ordensmuseum.de Das von Wilhelm II. im Exil gestiftete Gorgo- Abzeichen und die Gorgo-Becher der Doorner Arbeitsgemeinschaft (D.A.G.) 2. erweiterte Auflage Kaiser Wilhelm II. im Exil. Fotograf: Oscar Tellgmann. Ordensjournal / Ausgabe 21 / März 2011 1 Gorgo-Becher und Gorgo-Abzeichen der Doorner Arbeitsgemeinschaft Diese Ausgabe ist die ergänzte und berichtigte, zweite Auflage des Ordensjournals / Ausgabe 19, und ersetzt diese vollständig! Ordensjournal / Ausgabe 21 / März 2011 2 Während des Aktenstudiums im Geheimen Staatsarchiv Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, blickte ich zunächst ungläubig auf einige Zeilen, in der Seine Majestät der Kaiser zu bestimmen geruht hatte, wann das Gorgoabzeichen anzulegen wäre. Nun beschäftige ich mich schon seit über 30 Jahren mit deutschen, aber insbesondere auch preußischen Orden, Ehrenzeichen und Abzeichen, aber die Existenz eines Gorgoabzeichens war mir bisher verborgen geblieben. In keiner mir bis dahin bekannten Literatur, die sich mit Themen der Phaleristik beschäftigt, ist dieses Abzeichen je erwähnt worden. Auch die Nachfragen bei anderen, fachkundigen Personen auf dem Gebiet der Orden & Ehrenzeichen brachten keinerlei Erkenntnisse. Da die oben genannte Bestimmung jedoch authentisch war, musste das Abzeichen existiert haben. Deshalb war ich mir sicher, dass es möglich sein musste, mehr über das Abzeichen in Erfahrung zu bringen. Ausgehend von der Bestimmung, wann das Abzeichen angelegt werden sollte, konnten weitere Dokumente gefunden werden, in der auch die Verleihung des Abzeichens dokumentiert wurde. Durch weitere Recherchen von Namen, die ich in den Akten finden konnte, stieß ich auf das Frobenius Institut 1 in Frankfurt am Main. -
Instrumentalising the Past: the Germanic Myth in National Socialist Context
RJHI 1 (1) 2014 Instrumentalising the Past: The Germanic Myth in National Socialist Context Irina-Maria Manea * Abstract : In the search for an explanatory model for the present or even more, for a fundament for national identity, many old traditions were rediscovered and reutilized according to contemporary desires. In the case of Germany, a forever politically fragmented space, justifying unity was all the more important, especially beginning with the 19 th century when it had a real chance to establish itself as a state. Then, beyond nationalism and romanticism, at the dawn of the Third Reich, the myth of a unified, powerful, pure people with a tradition dating since time immemorial became almost a rule in an ideology that attempted to go back to the past and select those elements which could have ensured a historical basis for the regime. In this study, we will attempt to focus on two important aspects of this type of instrumentalisation. The focus of the discussion is mainly Tacitus’ Germania, a work which has been forever invoked in all sorts of contexts as a means to discover the ancient Germans and create a link to the modern ones, but in the same time the main beliefs in the realm of history and archaeology are underlined, so as to catch a better glimpse of how the regime has been instrumentalising and overinterpreting highly controversial facts. Keywords : Tacitus, Germania, myth, National Socialism, Germany, Kossinna, cultural-historical archaeology, ideology, totalitarianism, falsifying history During the twentieth century, Tacitus’ famous work Germania was massively instrumentalised by the Nazi regime, in order to strengthen nationalism and help Germany gain an aura of eternal glory. -

A Case-Study of the German Archaeologist Herbert Jankuhn (1905-1990)
Science and Service in the National Socialist State: A Case-Study of the German Archaeologist Herbert Jankuhn (1905-1990) by Monika Elisabeth Steinel UCL This thesis is submitted for examination for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) January 2009 DECLARATION I, Monika Elisabeth Steinel, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. January 2009 2 ABSTRACT The thesis investigates the relationship between archaeology, politics and ideology through a case-study of the prominent German archaeologist Herbert Jankuhn (1905- 1990). It addresses the following questions: what role do archaeological scholars assume in a totalitarian state’s organisational structures, and what may motivate them to do so? To what extent and how are archaeologists and their scientific work influenced by the political and ideological context in which they perform, and do they play a role in generating and/or perpetuating ideologies? The thesis investigates the nature and extent of Jankuhn's practical involvement in National Socialist hierarchical structures, and offers a thematically structured analysis of Jankuhn's archaeological writings that juxtaposes the work produced during and after the National Socialist period. It investigates selected components of Herbert Jankuhn's research interests and methodological approaches, examines his representations of Germanic/German pre- and protohistory and explores his adapting interpretations of the early medieval site of Haithabu in northern Germany. The dissertation demonstrates that a scholar’s adaptation to political and ideological circumstances is not necessarily straightforward or absolute. As a member of the Schutzstaffel, Jankuhn actively advanced National Socialist ideological preconceptions and military aims. -

This has many reasons. First the most obvious: many of these publications remain unknown to Central and East European scholars either due to fi nancial reasons or the lack of connections or knowledge of languages. -
Franz Altheim Y La Historia De Los Siglos De La Antiguedad Tardia
Los Hunos: tradición e historia, Antig. crist. (Murcia) IX, 1991 FRANZ ALTHEIM Y LA HISTORIA DE LOS SIGLOS DE LA ANTIGUEDAD TARDIA 1. VIDA El 17 de octubre de 1976 moría en Münster en Westfalia Franz Altheim. Profesor emérito de la Universidad Libre de Berlín desde 1964, se había retirado a vivir en las llanuras del paraíso westfaliano al calor de sus discípulos y muy especialmente de su hija adoptiva Prof. Dra. Ruth Altheim-Stiehl. Las esquelas funerarias se multiplicaron y en su conjunto recogen una panorá- mica completa de la vida y actividad del maestro1. Había nacido el 6 de octubre de 1898 en Frankfurt am Main. Hijo del conocido pintor Wilhelm Altheim, comenzó a escribir cuando apenas tenía 16 años, fecha en la que publicó su Geschichte von Eschersheim, Hessische Chronik 3, 1914. Tuvo que participar muy joven todavía en la primera guerra mundial durante la cual le tocó servir en Turquía, experiencia que probablemente influyó en sus cosmovisiones posteriores. Su tesis doctoral sobre la política de Aristóteles apareció publicada en extracto en 1924: Die Komposition der Politik des Aristoteles. Diss. Frankfurt 1924, 100 páginas. Se habilitó en 1928 con un notable trabajo, publicado dos años más tarde sobre los dioses griegos en Roma: Griechische Gotter im Alten Rom, Giessen, A. Topelmann Verlag, 1930, 216 p. Desde 1928 a 1938 enseñó en Frankfurt, pasando en este último año a Halle (Saale), donde en 1943 fue designado como Profesor Ordinario para Historia Antigua (catedrático). En 1949 fue llamado por la Universidad Libre de Berlín, donde enseñó hasta 1964, fecha en que se jubiló, pasando en 1966 a vivir en Münster. -
Discourse and Politics in German and Swedish Archaeology 1900-1950'
Kossinna, the Nol"dische Gedanke, and Swedish Archaeology Discourse and politics in German and Swedish archaeology 1900-1950' Per Cornell, Ulf Borelius, Dan Kresa & Thomas Backlund This article looks at the relation between Swedish and German archaeology in the first half of the 20'" century. In particular, the focus is on the question why Swedish prehistorians came to accept the archaeology of Gustaf Kossinna. Thc methodological inspiration principally comes from Carlo Ginzburg and his idea of clucs. The empirical material mainly consists of books and journals. Newspapers and archives have also been used, but to a much lesser cxtent. Gustaf Kossinna was the dominant archaeologist in Germany in the early 20'" ccntury. The Siedliuigsarchä ologie was to a large extent his creation, and he was instrumental in making a spatial tum in archaeology. Kossinna was part of the Nordische Gedanke movement. Thus, the Nordic/Germanic blood, earth, and soil were paramount to Kossinnian archaeology. It was so important that Kossinna thought only Europe, in particular the Nordic region, which to him included parts of Germany, should be subjectcd to archaeological investigations. At the tum of the 20'" ccntury, Swedish archaeology was dominated by Oscar Monte- lius and his chronological typology. In the 1910s, however, his position was challcngcd by proponents of a more spatially oriented archaeology. Among thc opponents werc two young archaeologists, Nils Åberg and Sune Lindquist, who both had participated in the archaeological seminar organiscd by Knut Stjerna. In different ways, Åberg and Lindquist used Kossinna's archaeology in thc struggle against the Montelian dominance. Pet Cotrnel/, lust föi. -
The Past As Propaganda: Totalitarian Archaeology in Nazi Germany
The past as propaganda: totalitarian archaeology in Nazi Germany BETTINA ARNOLD* An important element to the future of archaeology in the ex-Communist countries of central Europe will be the freeing of archaeological ideas from the constraints of a particular set of social theories built into the fabric of the state, CIS Milisauskas noted in the last Ax’rJQLvTY (64: 283-5). This is a timely moment to look at the interference of a different set of social theories in the same region some decades ago.

“More Important Than All Technical Features Would Appear to Us the 'Volkliche' Differences”. Gotthard Neumann And
Fabian Link “More Important than all Technical Features Would Appear to Us the volkliche Differences”.Gotthard Neumann and the völkisch Thought in German Prehistory, 1920s to 1960s Summary This paper examines the theoretical and methodological value of combining Begriffsgeschichte (conceptual history) with Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of habitus and social field by focusing on definitions of the völkisch thought in German prehistory. The theoretical perspective in this paper is that concepts on the semantic level are interlinked with historical processes in the social space, or the scientific field in this example. On the one hand, it is evident that völkisch elements belonged intrinsically to prehistoric archaeology in its development as an autonomous discipline in the scientific field. On the other hand, racist and völkisch thoughts were a result of the heteronomization that was enforced during the Nazi regime, when pre- historic archaeologists tried to use the Nazis to establish their discipline in academia. Keywords: Habitus- and field-theory; Begriffsgeschichte; völkisch thought; prehistory; Nazi regime. In diesem Artikel frage ich nach der theoretischen und methodologischen Tragweite einer Kombination von Begriffsgeschichte und Pierre Bourdieus Habitus- und Feldtheorie. Der Ansatz wird am Beispiel eines Definitionsversuchs völkischen Denkens in der deutschen Prähistorie ausgelotet. In dieser theoretischen Perspektive sind Denkhaltungen auf der se- mantischen Ebene mit historischen Ereignissen und Prozessen im sozialen Raum, das heißt in diesem Fall im wissenschatlichen Feld, verknüpt. Auf der einen Seite kann dadurch ge- zeigt werden, dass völkische Elemente zur Entwicklung der prähistorischen Archäologie als selbständiges Forschungsfeld gehörten. Auf der anderen Seite wird deutlich, dass rassis- tisches und völkisches Denken das Resultat einer Heteronomisierung der Prähistorie war, die sich während des NS-Regimes massiv verstärkte, als deutsche Prähistoriker versuchten, mit Hilfe einer Zusammenarbeit mit NS-Politikern ihren Forschungsbereich akademisch zu etablieren. -

It is therefore unnecessary to add more fantasies to the genuine historical facts in the field of Nazi occultism, especially when it comes to their weird expeditions and their pseudo-scientific researches. The true amateur of sensational and strange stories can still be fully satisfied with Himmler's Witch Project, or the Hollow Earth Theory, or the various moons of the World Ice Theory that fell on our planet and drowned the Atlanteans. This is real history and some high-ranking Nazis did believe in these theories, no matter how sensational they may sound to modern ears. It does not add anything to the uncanny spell of such stories to pollute them with material that cannot be verified or, even worse, with pure lies coming straight out of the imagination of poor authors in search of quick money and fame.
