Journalists and Religious Activists in Polish-German Relations THE PROJECT OF RECONCILIATION: JOURNALISTS AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVISTS IN POLISH-GERMAN RELATIONS, 1956-1972 Annika Frieberg A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History.

In their foreign relations work, these non-state actors preceded the Polish-West German political relations that were established in 1970. The dissertation has a twofold focus on private contacts between these activists, and on public discourse through radio, television and print media, primarily its effects on political and social change between the peoples. My sources include the activists’ private correspondences, interviews, and memoirs as well as radio and television manuscripts, articles and business correspondences. Earlier research on Polish-German relations is generally situated firmly in a nation-state framework in which the West German, East German or Polish context takes precedent. My work utilizes international relations theory and comparative reconciliation research to explore the long-term and short-term consequences of the discourse and the concrete measures which were taken during the 1960s to end official deadlock and nationalist antagonisms and to overcome the destructive memories of the Second World War dividing Poles and Germans. Analyzing early Polish-German relations within the conceptual framework of reconciliation after violent conflict, I distinguish between those developments that fitted within reconciliation models and the political narrative which the actors developed and disseminated to explain and justify their iii position on Polish-German relations. The positive aspects included the cross-border contacts established and the challenge to national stereotypes and myths. On the other hand, a statist focus on improving the relations with the communist government in Poland rather than the people, and a limitation of the dialogue to intellectual and media elites and political circles meant that in 1970, and in 1990, when reconciliation was declared accomplished, many layers of society remained excluded and isolated from this master narrative of success. My research strives to emphasize the silences, and give voice to the marginalized minorities and to emphasize that media, intellectuals and politicians continually face the task of integrating these forgotten aspects into any grand narratives of reconciliation. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe a great debt to many individuals and institutions, who helped me conceive of, research and write this dissertation. I accomplished my research with generous financial assistance from the Institut für Europäische Geschichte in Mainz and from the German Academic Exchange Service between November 2004 and December 2006. An earlier summer grant from the International Studies Center of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill allowed me to initiate my research in Poland during the summer of 2004 as well. A great number of scholars, librarians and archivists have helped me find my way in archives across Central Europe and I wish to thank these people who have so generously shared their time and expertise. They include Michał Smoczyński at Archiwum Jerzego Turowicza in Krakow and Ewa Bąkowska at the Jagiellonian University Library. I also wish to thank Birgit Bernard at the Historisches Archiv der WDR in Cologne, the Friedrich Eberth Stiftung in Bonn, the Polen-Institut in Darmstadt and the Norddeutscher Rundfunk for their generous decision to permit me to use the audio-visual sources with Ludwig Zimmerer´s radio shows from the 1960s. Others who assisted me during various stages of the research process included Blażej Kaczmierczak at the Karl-Dedecius-Archiv at Collegium Polonicum der Europa-Universität Viadrina, Christoph Rohde at Norddeutscher Rundfunk and Ulf Bollmann at Staatsarchiv Hamburg. v My advisor Konrad Jarausch has, of course, been integral to all stages of this project and I thank him for his insight in the topic and confidence in my approach. I also wish to thank my dissertation committee members Chad Bryant, Christopher Browning, Karen Hagemann and Madeline Levine for their input and assistance. Colleagues at UNC Benjamin Pearson, Rósa Magnusdottir, Jenn Walcoff and Bethany Keenan all read parts of my dissertation and they have my gratitude for their feedback. Janelle Werner assisted with formatting and moral support during those last hours before submission. Other friends and colleagues in Europe, who also deserve recognition, include Simone Derix, Thomas Gijswijt and Eike Eckert who helped me localize source materials and further my ideas in Mainz. The Herder-Institut in Marburg, Hans Henning Hahn and Heidi Hein, gave me an opportunity to present and receive feedback on my project in its early stages. Volker, Erika and Julia Keil and Boris Schymetzko housed me during my Berlin time and taught me to love the city of Berlin. I also want to mention my family in these acknowledgements; my parents, Hans and Christina Frieberg, who gave me the independence of mind to pursue my own interests and had complete faith in my ability to complete whatever project I took on; my Mother in Law, J o y c e Seegel, who also offered her full faith and support in our academic pursuits, and my dog, who herded me outside on a daily basis throughout the writing process and helped preserve my health and sanity during the writing stages. Finally, I want to thank my husband, Steven. Without him, this project would not have been possible. From endless cups of hot tea to full-scale emergency grant applications and historiography advice, he has been part of it all, the whole way. All my love, always. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION……………………………………………………………………………. 1 PART 1: THE PREMISES OF RECONCILIATION………………………………………. 19 Chapter I.

In October 1969, Bonn’s Christian Democrat-led “grand coalition” was replaced by an alliance of Social Democrats (SPD) and Free Democrats (FDP) led by Chancellor Willy Brandt that held a sixteen-seat majority in the West German parliament. Not only were the leaders of the CDU caught by surprise, but so, too, were many in the U.S. government. Presi- dent Richard Nixon had to take back the premature message of congratu- lations extended to Chancellor Kiesinger early on election night. “The worst tragedy,” Henry Kissinger concluded on June 16, 1971, in a con- versation with Nixon, “is that election in ’69. If this National Party, that extreme right wing party, had got three-tenths of one percent more, the Christian Democrats would be in office now.”1 American administrations and their embassy in Bonn had cultivated a close relationship with the leaders of the governing CDU/CSU for many years.

  • Central and Eastern Europe
    Central and Eastern Europe Germany National Affairs X. JLALFWAY THROUGH Chancellor Gerhard Schroder's four-year term it was clear that his Red-Green coalition—his own Social Democratic Party (SPD) together with the environmentalist Greens—had succeeded in co-opting the traditional agenda of the opposition Christian Democrats (CDU), leaving the opposition without a substantial issue. The government accomplished this by moving to the political center, primarily through a set of pro-business tax cuts that were expected to spur the economy. The conservative opposition was also handicapped by scandal. Former chan- cellor Helmut Kohl shocked the nation at the end of 1999 by refusing to clarify his role in the CDU's financial irregularities, and in January 2000 he resigned as honorary chairman of the party. The affair continued to get headlines through- out 2000 as more illegal payments during the Kohl years came to light. All that Kohl himself would acknowledge was his personal receipt of some $1 million not accounted for in the party's financial records, but he refused to name the donors. Considering his "word of honor" not to divulge the source of the money more important than the German law requiring him to do so, he compared his treat- ment by the German mass media to the Nazi boycott of Jewish stores during the Hitler regime. Most observers believed that Kohl would end up paying a fine and would not serve any jail time. The Kohl scandal triggered an internal party upheaval. Wolfgang Schauble, Kohl's successor as CDU leader, admitted in February that he too had taken un- reported campaign contributions, and was forced to resign.

    European Community No. 26/1984 July 10, 1984 Contact: Ella Krucoff (202) 862-9540 THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: 1984 ELECTION RESULTS :The newly elected European Parliament - the second to be chosen directly by European voters -- began its five-year term last month with an inaugural session in Strasbourg~ France. The Parliament elected Pierre Pflimlin, a French Christian Democrat, as its new president. Pflimlin, a parliamentarian since 1979, is a former Prime Minister of France and ex-mayor of Strasbourg. Be succeeds Pieter Dankert, a Dutch Socialist, who came in second in the presidential vote this time around. The new assembly quickly exercised one of its major powers -- final say over the European Community budget -- by blocking payment of a L983 budget rebate to the United Kingdom. The rebate had been approved by Community leaders as part of an overall plan to resolve the E.C.'s financial problems. The Parliament froze the rebate after the U.K. opposed a plan for covering a 1984 budget shortfall during a July Council of Ministers meeting. The issue will be discussed again in September by E.C. institutions. Garret FitzGerald, Prime Minister of Ireland, outlined for the Parliament the goals of Ireland's six-month presidency of the E.C. Council. Be urged the representatives to continue working for a more unified Europe in which "free movement of people and goods" is a reality, and he called for more "intensified common action" to fight unemployment. Be said European politicians must work to bolster the public's faith in the E.C., noting that budget problems and inter-governmental "wrangles" have overshadolted the Community's benefits.

  • GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, and the RECONSTRUCTION of CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented In
    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

    To Our Dead: Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory by Jeffrey P. Luppes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Germanic Languages and Literatures) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Andrei S. Markovits, Chair Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Julia C. Hell Associate Professor Johannes von Moltke © Jeffrey P. Luppes 2010 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a dissertation is a long, arduous, and often lonely exercise. Fortunately, I have had unbelievable support from many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Andrei S. Markovits. Andy has played the largest role in my development as a scholar. In fact, his seminal works on German politics, German history, collective memory, anti-Americanism, and sports influenced me intellectually even before I arrived in Ann Arbor. The opportunity to learn from and work with him was the main reason I wanted to attend the University of Michigan. The decision to come here has paid off immeasurably. Andy has always pushed me to do my best and has been a huge inspiration—both professionally and personally—from the start. His motivational skills and dedication to his students are unmatched. Twice, he gave me the opportunity to assist in the teaching of his very popular undergraduate course on sports and society. He was also always quick to provide recommendation letters and signatures for my many fellowship applications. Most importantly, Andy helped me rethink, re-work, and revise this dissertation at a crucial point.

  • Die Cdu-Landtagsfraktion in Nordrhein-West­ Falen 1946- 1980*
    Ludger Gruber DIE CDU-LANDTAGSFRAKTION IN NORDRHEIN-WEST­ FALEN 1946- 1980* Die historische Entwicklung der CDU-Landtagsfraktion in Nordrhein-Westfalen nachzu­ zeichnen, schien auf den ersten Blick eine nicht leichte, aber lösbare Aufgabe zu sein. Doch sehr bald zeigte sich, daß der politische Allerweltsbegriff "Fraktion" wissenschaftlich nur schwer einzugrenzen und zu bestimmen ist. Offenbar nicht olme Grund vermieden die Ver­ fassung von Nordrhein-Westfalen sowie die Geschäftsordnung seines Landtags ein näheres Eingehen auf die Fraktion, 1 resignierten die Zeitgenossen bei dem Versuch, die Rechtsnatur von Parlamentsfraktionen gesetzlich zu regeln2 oder gelangte die Forschung mehrheitlich zu dem Ergebnis, daß es eine theoretische, d. h. allgemeinverbindliche und umfassende Defini­ tion der Institution "Fraktion" nicht gebe. 3 Der spärlichen materiell-rechtlichen Einbindung einer Fraktion in das Staatorganisations­ gefüge stehen ihre umfangreichen faktischen Befugnisse und ihre Schlüsselstellung in der Verfassungswirklichkeit auch des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen gegenüber. Diese werden bis­ lang jedoch vornehmlich von der Rechts- und der Politikwissenschaft mit ihren disziplinspe­ zifischen Fragestellungen erörtert. 4 Dabei könnte auch die Geschichtswissenschaft, vielleicht sogar gerade sie, weitere Erkenntnisse über folgende Problemkreise hervorbringen: • Wesen und Funktion einer parlamentarischen Fraktion • Die Landesebene als politische und räumliche Bedingung von Fraktionshandeln * Dieser Beitrag stützt sich auf eine in Kürze erscheinende Monographie des Verfassers, in der die Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojektes des nordrhein-westfalischen Landtags vorgestellt werden. Der voraussichtliche Titel lautet: Die CDU-Landtagsfraktion in Nordrhein-Westfalen 1946-1980. Eine parlamentshistorische Untersuchung. ' Kein Artikel der Landesverfassung von Nordrhein-Westfalen vom 28. 6. 1950 ftihrt den Begriff "Frak­ tion"; vgl.

  • Herbert Czaja Zum 100. Geburtstag Am 5. November 2014 Von Hartmut Koschyk Mdb
    Herbert Czaja zum 100. Geburtstag am 5. November 2014 von Hartmut Koschyk MdB Die drei großen christdemokratischen Politiker und gemeinhin als Gründerväter des politisch geeinten Europas angesehenen Staatsmänner Konrad Adenauer, Alcide de Gasperi und Robert Schuman hatten zwei große Gemeinsamkeiten: Zum einen waren die drei praktizierenden Katholiken zutiefst in ihrem christlichen Glauben verwurzelt, der für sie auch ethische Grundlage und Richtschnur ihres politischen Handelns war. Zum anderen stammten sie jeweils aus Grenzgebieten: Konrad Adenauer wurde in Köln geboren und sein politisches Wirken war als Oberbürgermeister von Köln und Vorsitzender des Provinzialausschusses der Rheinprovinz bis 1933 aufs Engste mit diesem über Jahrhunderte zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich umstrittenen Gebiet verbunden. Der Italiener Alcide de Gasperi wurde 1881 in der Nähe der damals österreichischen Stadt Trient geboren und vertrat ab 1911 bzw. 1914 das heimatliche Trentino im österreichischen Reichsrat und im Landtag von Tirol. Robert Schuman wurde 1886 im luxemburgischen Clausen geboren und ließ sich nach seinem Studium im damals deutschen Metz nieder, nach 1918 ging er für die Region Lothringen in die französische Politik. Diese Grenzgebiete waren oft Anlass zu politischen Streit und kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen, immer aber auch vermittelnde Brücken zwischen zwei benachbarten, zeitweise feindselig gegeneinander stehenden Völkern. Interkulturelle Prägung Die Parallelen zum Leben von Herbert Czaja sind unverkennbar.
