  • Transcultural Assemblages of Prince Hermann Von Pückler-Muskau (1785–1871) and Machbuba/Ajiamé/Bilillee Freya Schwachenwald
    Art, Nature, Ghosts, and Ice Cream: Transcultural Assemblages of Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785–1871) and Machbuba/Ajiamé/Bilillee Freya Schwachenwald Introduction Walking through Cottbus, Brandenburg, Germany, it is almost impossible to miss the visual presence one of its most famous local personas: from billboards at the train station to an eponymous bus line, Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785–1871) seems omnipresent as a local historical figure and as a welcome vehicle for tourism marketing. When visitors direct their steps through his former park in Branitz at the outskirts of Cottbus, they will most likely come across an unexpected sight: two earthen pyramids. One of them is located in the middle of a artifical lake. Primary and historiographical sources tell us that this pyramid was built by Pückler in the 1850s and that it encases his remains, as envisioned by him while commissioning the construction.1 The pyramid was finished in 1856, fifteen years before Pückler’s death.2 No plaque commemorates him on the pyramid. Pückler and his wife Lucie von Hardenberg (1776–1854) are only commemorated by a stone with a cross, erected posthumously on another small island of the lake. Today, the pyramid, as well as the surrounding park and its castle are maintained by the Stiftung Fürst Pückler Museum Schloss und Park Branitz (Prince Pückler Castle Museum and Branitz Park Foundation). The foundation describes its namesake and the former owner of the castle and park as “one of the greatest European landscape artists, a dandy, ladies’ man, ingenious socialite, connoisseur of exquisite food and namesake to an 1 Siegfried Neumann, “Die Begräbnisstätten im Branitzer Park,” in Pückler, Pyramiden, Panorama: neue Beiträge zur Pücklerforschung, ed.

As a consequence, other industries followed, such as brick and glass manufacturers.

  • Jahresbericht 2015
    Jahresbericht 2015 Jahresbericht 2015 DIE STIMME DER SOZIALEN MARKTWIRTSCHAFT Jahresbericht 2015 des Wirtschaftsrates der CDU e.V. im April 2016 vorgelegt Die Europäische Idee mit Leben füllen – Reformen in Deutschland voranbringen! Exportstark, innovationsreich, qualitativ hochwertig – Deutschland steht mit stetigem positiven Wirtschaftswachstum und soliden Staatsfinanzen an der Spitze Europas. Doch Europa steht an einer Wegscheide: Noch immer haben die EU-Mitglieds- länder in der Vergangenheit Lösungen für zukunftsweisende Fragen gefunden – für die Bewältigung der Wirtschaftskrise 2009, bei der Finanzmarktregulierung und der EU-Schuldenkrise, bis hin zur Griechenlandkrise. Doch an der Flüchtlingskrise kann Europa zerbrechen. Immer häufiger werden fest vereinbarte und gemeinsam geglaubte Werte in Frage gestellt. Die Länder Ost- und Südosteuropas kündigen faktisch das Schengen-Abkommen auf, und Großbritannien steht vor einer Volks- abstimmung über den Verbleib in der EU. Die EU-Schuldenkrise ist noch keinesfalls gelöst, und die Geldpolitik der EZB wird immer mehr zum Risiko, weil sie den Reformdruck auf die Krisenländer reduziert. Notwendig ist stattdessen eine überzeugen- de Agenda für Wachstum, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Stabilität, den EU-Binnenmarkt im Bereich der Dienstleistungen und der Digitalen Wirtschaft zu vollenden, die Arbeitsmärkte weiter zu flexibilisieren sowie ein vollumfängliches Freihandels- abkommen mit den USA abzuschließen. Wir sollten alle Kräfte bündeln, um die Europäische Idee wieder mit Leben zu füllen, statt in die Nationalstaaterei abzurutschen. Die internationalen Aufgaben dürfen zugleich die notwendige wirtschaftspolitische Erneuerung in Deutschland nicht über- decken. Im Herbst 2015 ging die Legislaturperiode der Großen Koalition in ihre zweite Halbzeit: Beschäftigungsrekord, Haus- haltsüberschüsse und verbesserte Konjunkturprognosen geben Anlass zur Freude und haben die Lebenssituation der Men- schen in unserem Land kurzfristig verbessert.

IDENTITY,KNOWLEDGE,LANDSCAPE: BIOGRAPHY AND SPACE IN PÜCKLER’S WORK Ulf Jacob Technische Universität Berlin Prince Hermann Ludwig Heinrich von Pückler-Muskau, the “inveterate traveler to all points and to nowhere,” as Heine dubbed him, was a complex figure who continues to be difficult to fathom. Labels such as landscape designer, successful author, and globe-trotter, or ladies’ man, enfant terrible, and melancholic eccentric capture only some facets of a personality that poses a challenge to researchers. To understand the twists and turns in his life and work, we must try to grasp the distinct details conveyed in the abundant source material and to understand them as the remains of a historically evolved totality. The present study at- tempts to do justice to this challenge. It rests on the assumption that the ensemble of expressions of Pückler’s life can be viewed as the manifes- tation of a continuity between action and meaning. This continuity was centered inwardly on a core of individual character traits, and at the same time it corresponded outwardly to the socioeconomic, political and cul- tural conditions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
