Nicholas Vazsonyi (Hg.) Searching for Common Ground Diskurse zur deutschen Identität 1750-1871 The Rhine Crisis of 1840: Rheinlieder\ German Nationalism, and the Masses Lorie A. Vanchena France's threat in 1840 to reestablish the Rhine as its eastern border proved central to the formation of German national consciousness and identity in the nineteenth century. The Rhine crisis generated intense anti-French, patriotic fervor in the German territories that extended well beyond the Rhineland. One expression of this nationalist sentiment was the poetry written as a direct response to the crisis, the countless Rheinlieder. These poems, including those critical of the Rheinliedbewegung> functioned as a medium of public debate about the crisis with France. Constituting a literary, journalistic, and political phenomenon, the poems enjoyed widespread popularity and resonance among the German public. The periodic press in particular served as a vehicle for disseminating these poems, thus enabling them to become part of the public dialog on the historical developments they addressed.

Often depicted in history books as the age of the Lied, the early nineteenth century was also the age of the Chorgesang, creating a demand for music for social gatherings. Amateur choruses and partsinging reached their peak of popularity in nineteenth-century Germany.

  • The Americanization of Ernst Moritz Arndt's Political Poetry in the Nineteenth Century
    Lorie A. Vanchena The Americanization of Ernst Moritz Arndt's Political Poetry in the Nineteenth Century Written in 1813 as a response to the Wars of Liberation, Ernst Moritz Arndt's "Des Deutschen Vaterland" enjoyed an afterlife that few nineteenth-century patriotic poems could rival.1 This literary phenomenon resulted in large part from the poem's focus on two central and recurrent issues in the German political land• scape of the 1800s - unification and hostilities with the French. Arndt begins his poem by suggesting a catalog of states and geographical regions as possible answers to the question posed in the first line, "Was ist des Teutschen Vaterland?": "Ist's Preußenland? Ist's Schwabenland?/Ist's, wo am Rhein die Rebe blüht?/Ist's, wo am Belt die Möwe zieht?"2 Repeatedly insisting that "Sein Vaterland muss größer seyn," the poet reveals his ultimate answer in the seventh stanza: "So weit die deutsche Zunge klingt / Und Gott im Himmel Lieder singt, / Das soll es seyn! / Das, wackrer Teutscher, nenne dein!" Arndt envisions a Germany that exists not only wherever German is spoken or sung, but also, as he states in the ninth stanza, "Wo Zorn vertilgt den welschen Tand,/Wo jeder Franzmann heißet Feind,/Wo jeder Teutsche heißet Freund." Arndt himself recognized that his poem's visceral anti- French rhetoric and call for a unified Germany helped explain its staying power. In a passage about a volunteer cavalry regiment in East Prussia preparing to fight against the French in 1813, he wrote: Hier sprang jetzt aus dieser allgemeinen Begeisterung, die mit dem ganzen Volke in den Kampf gehen wollte, auch mein sogenanntes Deutsches Vaterlandslied hervor, das im lieben Deutschland noch in späteren Jahren gesungen ist und endlich wohl mit andern Ta• gesliedern zu seiner Zeit auch verklingen wird.

Hinter den reinen Zahlen dieser Ausdünnung verbergen sich die Geschichten von Menschen und Gruppen. Die Kraftfeldmessung im Verhältnis von Staat und Zivilgesellschaft und das Werden und Vergehen im Selbstverständnis einer zusammenwach- senden Kulturnation sind in die Statistik unscheinbar, aber folgenreich mit eingerechnet. „Markt / gesellschaftliche Verantwortung, zentral / föderal, gestern–heute–morgen“ – dies sind Zutaten in dem Stück Ein Kessel Buntes. Ingredienzen, die kulturelle Vielfalt auf ganz unterschiedlichen Ebenen immer wieder aufs Neue sichtbar werden ließen und lassen – oder eben auch nicht. In den glücklichen Fällen, die die Deutsche Einheit – neben den traurigen Beispielen – auch beschreibt, ging und geht es immer wieder um das Ringen um den Königsweg. Das unendliche Feld der Musik gibt – weit über die Orchesterlandschaft hinaus – immer wieder beeindruckende Beispiele im Miteinander von Menschen, die die Überzeugung von der existenziellen Bedeutung von Kultur für das Zusammen- leben in einer humanen Gesellschaft eint.

Kommissar Gereon Rath (Ole Lagerpusch), der nicht ganz freiwillig von Köln nach Berlin wechselte, lebt sich zunehmend in der Hauptstadt ein, die einem rapiden Wandel unterworfen ist. Sein Hang zu Alleingängen führt dazu, dass er nicht mehr die Fälle bekommt, die ihn wirklich interessieren. Eine willkommene Ablenkung ist ein Unfall mit Todes- folge in einem Filmatelier. Rath lernt ein Umfeld kennen, das sich ebenfalls im Um- bruch befindet: die Filmbranche, die gerade den Wechsel vom Stumm- zum Tonfilm vollzieht. Im Spannungsfeld von Glamour, Drogen und Tristesse macht er nicht nur ganz neue Erfahrungen, sondern stößt auch auf alte Bekannte und Verlockungen MO 19.30 SWR 2 HÖHEPUNKTE DER WOCHE NELIGAN SWR/PATRICIA FOTO: SÜD KABARETT LESUNG LIVE-KONZERT Stuttgarter Besen „Im Bauch der Königin“ Mittagskonzert Zum 23.
