  • Rechte Angriffe Dokumentiert 01. Januar 2005 Berlin-Köpenick S
    Berlin, 03. Februar 2006 Rechte Angriffe dokumentiert Chronologie rechtsextremer, rassistischer, antisemitischer und schwulenfeindlicher Vorfälle in Berlin 2005 vorgelegt. Wie im vergangenen Jahr legen die Berliner Projekte gegen Rassismus, Rechtsextremismus und Antisemitismus ReachOut und apabiz e.V. der Öffentlichkeit eine gemeinsame Chronologie vor. Die Zahl der gewalttätigen Angriffe und verbalen Attacken hat sich im Vergleich zu 2004 fast verdoppelt. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt eine Chronologie über Angriffe, die rassistisch, antisemitisch, schwulenfeindlich oder rechtsextremistisch motiviert waren. Die Zusammenstellung führt insgesamt 134 Meldungen auf, die in den Medien oder von den Opfern veröffentlicht wurden. Dabei handelte es sich in 98 Fällen um Gewalttaten (2004: 53 Gewalttaten in 71 Meldungen, 2003: 42 Gewalttaten in 66 Meldungen). Rassistisch motiviert waren davon 19 Angriffe, die damit über dem Niveau des Vorjahres liegen (2004: 16); 9 Angriffe richteten sich gegen Homosexuelle. Die meisten Angriffe – 70 von insgesamt 98, also mehr als zwei Drittel - richteten sich gegen alternative Jugendliche und junge AntifaschistInnen. In vielen Berichten werden die Angreifer als Gruppen schwarz gekleideter und vermummter Personen beschrieben, die mit großer Brutalität und teilweise deutlich geplant vorgehen. So wurde am 26. April 2005 eine Musikgruppe in ihrem Proberaum in Pankow überfallen, mit Reizgas besprüht und mit sogenannten Totschlägern zusammen geschlagen. Die Täter gingen davon aus, eine linke Punkband vor sich zu haben. Die Mehrzahl der Angriffe fanden im öffentlichen Raum und an Bahnhöfen statt, insgesamt 80. Sehr häufig sind wie im obigen Beispiel mehrere Personen von einem tätlichen Angriff betroffen. Daher zählte ReachOut im vergangenen Jahr 77 Körperverletzungen und 17 schwere Körperverletzungen sowie 74 Fälle von Nötigung, Bedrohung oder versuchter Körperverletzung.

  • Media Release International Launch Event of The
    MEDIA RELEASE INTERNATIONAL LAUNCH EVENT OF THE LIBERATION ROUTE EUROPE HIKING TRAILS A unique international trail initiative to keep the memory of WWII alive Brussels, 15 July 2021 – The LRE Foundation is happy to announce the next evolution of the Liberation Route Europe, a certified Council of Europe Cultural Route connecting places and people that mark Europe’s liberation from occupation during World War II. The launch event will take place on 22 July at 3 pm CEST when the Foundation will present the brand new European-wide system of hiking trails along the Liberation Route Europe. Developed in collaboration with hiking associations across Europe, the new hiking trails link museums, memorials, cemeteries and historical sites along the Allied Forces’ advance in the last phase of WWII and aim to stretch for 10.000 km. The hiking experience is accompanied by the new Liberation Route Europe website and travel planner that allows the public to read and listen to many stories about WWII and plan their journey along the hiking trails. Rémi Praud, Managing Director of the LRE Foundation: “We are excited to launch this new system of hiking trails connecting regions, sites and historical places across Europe. These trails are a new meaningful, and sustainable way to experience the Liberation Route Europe. This is only the beginning. We are excited to expand to new regions and countries in the upcoming years.” On the morning of 22 July, the LRE Foundation, in collaboration with the Best Defence Foundation, will escort seven U.S. veterans who served in Germany in 1945 for a visit with press to the German-Russian Museum Berlin- Karlshorst.

  • German-Russian Natural Gas Relations in the Context of a Common European Energy Policy
    Graduate School of Social Sciences (GSSS) German-Russian natural gas relations in the context of a common European energy policy Thesis to obtain the academic title of Master of Science (MS) in the program Political Science (International Relations) Academic year 2018/2019 Date of submission: June 21st 2019 Author: Caspar M. Henke (12299804) Supervisor: Dr. Mehdi P. Amineh Second Reader: Dr. Henk W. Houweling Research Project: The Political Economy of Energy Abstract This thesis analyses the interwoven commercial and political fabric of German-Russian natural gas relations. A theoretical lens that combines liberalist interdependence theory and the critical theoretical concepts of the state-society complex and social networks against the background of selected energy security dimensions will be employed. It will be argued that in order to assess the prospects for a common European Union energy policy, it is crucial to understand the importance of social forces and external relations shaping the energy policy of EU member states vis-á-vis the Russian Federation. It will be highlighted how the different perceptions of Russian natural gas as a political tool and a commercial commodity have resulted in different actors taking the lead in the natural gas strategies of the European Commission, the Central and Eastern European member states, and Germany. Portraying the Russian state-society complex of natural gas, it will be concluded that the German commercial-led approach is not compatible with a European Union energy policy that responds to the geopolitical threats of Russian gas perceived by other member states. Key words: Natural Gas, Russia, Germany, European Union, State-society complex 2 AcKnowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my thesis supervisor Dr.

  • Berlin - Wikipedia
    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

I understand cultural memory as dynamic, multifaceted, and as a widely contestational interplay of past and present in socio-cultural contexts. The making of cultural memory involves various participants and allows us to examine the nexus between individual remembering and culturally mediated memory. Culturally mediated memory appears as a process of the representation and manifestation of the past in the present. By studying the mediality of ‘present pasts,’ we gain an understanding of how the past is remembered and how it is mediated via cultural objects in the present.
