Georg Wilhelm Ferdinand Mtiller (1806-1875) had acquired the Chapter 1 Enslin Buchhandlung in 1832 and sold it to Ferdinand Geelhaar in (pages 1-47) 1843, i. e. shortly after the establishment of Iulius Springer's firm. He continued his own publishing activity, mainly schoolbooks, under his own name. His heirs sold it to Velhagen & Klasing in 19ol. Page 1 2. Marie Springer's ]ulius Springer: Eine Lebensskizze (Sketch of a Life) has been frequently used in writing the first two chapters. The citations to it use the abbreviation MS and give the page num- ber. Page 2 3. Quotations from letters by Springer to ]eremias Gotthelf use the abbreviation GOWWHELF (see Literature). No date is given, if it is mentioned in the quotation. Page 2 4. Springer's letters to his cousin lulius Kuhno relating to this were available to Marie Springer when she wrote her book on Julius [MS: 6], but they have since been lost. Page 3 5. L6on Saunier (1814-1877) had worked at the Sauerldinder Buch- handlung in Aarau at the beginning of the 183os. As he knew the conditions in Switzerland from his own experience, Springer had asked him for information. A life-long friendship developed from this correpondence. In 1838 Saunier acquired the Morinsche Buch- handlung in Stettin. Page 5 6. The partnership contract was dissolved in 1845 [MS: 23 f.]. The last instalment was paid by Springer in 1851. Page 5 7. Georg Ferdinand Oppert (1791-1845) at first worked in the banking business of his father-in-law, B. L. Lindau. After he left it, he en- gaged in various enterprises, not all of them very successful. Among others he financed a steamer which plied between Potsdam and Hamburg: it had been named Henriette after his wife. In 183o he built the house that became Monbijouplatz 3 (see p. 46, fig. 39).-He and Henriette Lindau (1798-1882) had three more daughters after Marie (Springer). Page 11 8. It is worth mentioning Rodolphe Toepffer, of Geneva, a well- known writer and painter of that time but nowadays practically unknown, except for his rather amusing illustrated stories. In 1845 he brought out a novel "Rose et Gertrude", which Springer pub- lished a year later in German translation. Page 21 390 Notes 9-11 9. In 1839 an anonymous article appeared in the Zeitschriftfi2r Buch- handler (Journal for Booksellers: Nos. 149 and 151) which proposed the establishment of a share-holding company for books likely to sell poorly. In 1839 Moritz Veit, with whom Springer often ex- changed ideas on publishing, had suggested a similar project in the Altona periodical Freihafen (Free Port). Also in 1839, a not very seriously sounding advertisement in the BOrsenblatt (No. lO3) had called for the setting up of such a company for the book trade. Similar plans were also mooted in 184o in the Organ des Deutschen Buchhandels (Organ of the German Book Trade) (pp. 1, 49 and 89), as well as in the B6rsenblatt in 1843. A similar suggestion came from Springer's apprenticeship master, G. W. F. Mfiller: Actienver- eine im Buchhandel (Share-Holding Associations in the Book Trade), col. 3761-3766). More definite was a plan by the Viennese bookseller Gustav Remmelmann to open a German bookshop in New York or Philadelphia on a share-holding basis (B6rsenblatt 1845, No. 45 and Organ 1845, p. 137). The Vereins-Verlagsbuchhand- lung in Leipzig (Association's Publishing Bookshop), founded by Otto Wigand with 17 booksellers in 1846, continued until 185o, when it closed down with very high losses [KIESSHAUER:169]. Only the Stuttgart Literarischer Verein, established in response to Veit's plan, turned out to be viable. Page 26 10. Julius von Kirchmann (18o2-1884) was one of quite a few judges of that time who became prominent on account of their mild sen- tencing or even acquittal policy in politically motivated trials and who, as a result, endangered their careers. It is likely that he de- layed the excution of his sentence against Springer (see p. 28) until an amnesty would make it ineffective. After punitive removal to another post in 1848 and after several disciplinary procedures against him Kirchmann was finally dismissed 1867 without pension rights. Springer published the legal documents of his court case in the same year. - Only the first volume of Kirchmann's Philosophie des Wissens (Philosophy of Knowledge) was published in 1864. In 1868 Springer published his two-volume ]~sthetik aufrealistischer Grundlage (Aesthetics on a Realistic Basis), at the time that von Kirchmann began to bring out his Philosophische Bibliothek (Phi- losophical Library) [see BAST]. Page 42 11. Gfitschow continued the bookshop under the well-established name of Springer, but added his name to avoid confusion. When he died in September 1861 of a lung disease, the business passed to George Winckelmann and his son Max, both of whom had for many years owned a retail, publishing and commissioning bookshop, in addition to a lithographic firm. In 1867 Springer's former bookshop was moved to Spittelmarkt where Winckelmann's main business was located. Shortly before Springer's death (1877) Georg Winckel- mann, Max W.'s son, took over the bookshop and dissolved the firm "Springersche Buchhandlung" [see also MS: 63].-The houses in Breite Strasse were all but destroyed in the World War II. The part of the street where Springer's bookshop had been at one time was Notes 12-~8 391 pulled down in 1964 and the street, now with modern houses built in the 196OS, was greatly widened. Page 46 12. Ferdinand Springer reported that his grandfather had "rejected the Chapter 2 offer of Fritz Reuter to become his publisher, at great material cost, (pages 48- 82) but fortunately so for the later scientific orientation of the publish- ing house" [LB]. But no other evidence for this contact was found. Page 55 13. Fifty three of the 59 youth and children's books were illustrated, although with some it was only a picture on the title or cover page. With 2o titles, Gustav Bartsch was the most often used illustrator. Nine titles were illustrated by Ludwig Pietsch; Ludwig Burger, Theodor Hosemann and August Haun illustrated four each. - The illustrations of individual Gotthelf titles were done by Ludwig Piet- sch (4), Theodor Hosemann (3), Fritz Walthard (2) and Ludwig Richter (title picture of Geld und Geist). Page 58 14. The Kalender fi2r den Berg- und Hi2ttenmann (Calendar for Miners and Metallurgists), bought from Spamer for 300 taler and distrib- uted by Springer on commission from 1852, failed to sell and was discontinued after two years. Page 63 15. Postzeitungsdienst (Postal Journals Service) delivered periodicals more cheaply and quickly. In this instance the price difference concerned H. Hager as editor and financial sponsor. Page 66 16. The "book order slip" had to be stamped as "printed matter", as long as the description as book, journal, picture or music item was written on it (Order of the Reich Chancellor of October 14, 1871, reprinted in the BOrsenblatt (Bbl.) of October 2o, 1871). Further information in Bbl. of October 23,1871, October 3o, 1871, November 2, 1871, November 8, 1871, December 4, 1871, January 22, 1872 and frequently later. - KAISER [3210 f.] and MENZ [2: 184] give more de- tailed accounts of Springer's services on behalf of the book trade. Both these authors were able to add information about the family, e.g. from Marie Springer's manuscript. Page 75 17 . The Prussian "Law for the Protection of Ownership of Works of Science and Art Against Reprinting and Reproduction" of June 11, 1837, taken over by the Deutsche Bund (German Confederation) in 1845, gave the exclusive rights to a work of literature to its author. But publishers of authors of the German classical period continued to have an "Eternal Right of Publication", a privilege

Eine Sendung von Helmut Frei. Sprecherin: 15. August 2009. An diesem Samstag schlossen die letzten Hertie-Warenhäuser in Deutschland. Der Hertie-Song, der die Beschäftigten zu Höchstleistungen an der Verkaufsfront anstacheln sollte, hatte ausgedient. Sprecher: Das Ende kam nicht überraschend. Das Angebot der Warenhauskette wirkte nach Ansicht vieler Konsumenten genauso altbacken wie die Einrichtung. Junge Leute fanden kaum noch den Weg zu Hertie. Die Insolvenz des Unternehmens war nicht abzuwenden. Bereits in den Jahren davor hatte das Unternehmen Standorte aufgegeben. Anfang 2009 waren noch 63 Hertie-Filialen übrig. Dass auch kleine, familiengeführte Warenhaus-Firmen kapitulieren müssen, ist oft nur eine Randnotiz in einer Regionalzeitung wert. Im Brennpunkt stehen die Großen der Branche wie Karstadt. Nun steht auch der einst führende Warenhaus-Konzern Europas unter dem Regiment eines Insolvenzverwalters. Nach dessen Auffassung sind derzeit 19 von insgesamt 90 Karstadt-Filialen in ihrer Existenz bedroht.

Kosher Seductions: Jewish Women as Employees and Consumers in German Department Stores Abstract Department stores have long been associated with the trope of seducing female consumers, at least since the publication of Emile Zola’s novel Au bonheur des dames in 1883. This fictionalized portrayal of the Parisian department store Bon Marche, which has exerted considerable influence among early chroniclers of department store culture, identifies store owners as men who build ‘temples’ for prospective customers, and who use inebriating tactics to encourage them to enter and spend money.
