Abstract

Between 1941 and 1945, some 6,500 Berlin Jews, in fear for their lives, made the choice to flee their impending deportations and live submerged in the shadows of the capital of Nazi Germany. The experience was brutally difficult, and most did not survive. Yet the experiences of 1,700 who did demonstrate a remarkable and hitherto unconsidered level of agency among the survivors. This book sheds light on the daily life of those who hid and on the city that was both the source of their persecution and the site of their survival.

Abstract

Who owns the street? Interwar Berliners faced this question with great hope yet devastating consequences. In Germany, the First World War and 1918 Revolution transformed the city streets into the most important media for politics and commerce. There, partisans and entrepreneurs fought for the attention of crowds with posters, illuminated advertisements, parades, traffic jams, and violence. The Nazi Party relied on how people already experienced the city to stage aggressive political theater, including the April Boycott and Kristallnacht. Observers in Germany and abroad looked to Berlin's streets to predict the future. They saw dazzling window displays that radiated optimism. They also witnessed crime waves, antisemitic rioting, and failed policing that pointed toward societal collapse. Recognizing the power of urban space, officials pursued increasingly radical policies to 'revitalize' the city, culminating in Albert Speer's plan to eradicate the heart of Berlin and build Germania.

Abstract

Im Mittelpunkt des Buches stehen erzählte Lebensgeschichten von Berliner Unternehmern türkischer Herkunft. Der Autor setzt sich kritisch mit essenzialistischen Kulturkonzepten der immigrant business-Forschung auseinander und stellt die Frage, wie vermeintlich gegebene »kulturelle Grenzen« hergestellt werden und welche Rolle sie im Unternehmensalltag spielen. Hierzu wird das Konzept »Transkulturalität als Praxis« entwickelt. Diese Lesart der Biographien der Unternehmer zeigt nachdrücklich, wie Konstrukte »kultureller Grenzen« Handlungsrelevanz entfalten und wie sie in der Handlungspraxis - indem Akteure unbewusst oder strategisch auf sie rekurrieren - (re-)produziert, aber auch verändert werden. Damit ergänzt die Studie die aktuelle Diskussion über Inter- bzw. Transkulturalität um eine wichtige, innovative Perspektive. »Robert Pütz bringt den so wichtigen angloamerikanischen Diskurs zum Verhältnis von ethnischen Identitäten und wirtschaftlichem Handeln nach Deutschland. Dabei gelingt es ihm sehr überzeugend, den konstruierten Charakter jedweder Identitäten darzustellen. [...] In einer methodisch ausgesprochen gründlichen Empirie, die besonders in ihrem qualitativ-hermeneutischen Zugang überzeugt, präsentiert der Autor eine reichhaltige und dichte Analyse der institutionellen Strukturen und individueller Lebenswege türkischer Unternehmer. Gerade aufgrund seines eindringlichen, plastischen Charakters ist dieses Buch sicherlich auch für die Lehre zu empfehlen.« Ilse Helbrecht, Die Erde. Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin, 1 (2005) »Das Buch ist für die Geographie in jedem Fall bereichernd, da es für einen reflektierten Umgang mit ethnischen Kategorisierungen plädiert. Auch ist das Konzept der ›strategischen Transkulturalität‹, das auf den Zusammenhang von Kultur und ökonomischen Handeln verweist, eine Erklärungshilfe für die Herstellung und Entstehung erfolgreichen Unternehmertums.« Felicitas Hillmann, Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftsgeographie, 3-4 (2005)

Abstract

This volume deals with the intellectual Huguenot Refuge (ca 1680–1780), discussing its philosophical, theological, historical, and literary aspects in European context. It uses Berlin as its regional point of departure: In the French-Protestant community of Berlin, the erudites rapidly established networks which pursued a very wide range of interest, communicating with every Protestant scholar who might contribute to the dissemination of Enlightened thought. The first part of the book, therefore, introduces the biggest and most complex centre of the Refuge in Germany. Whereas the second and third part examine different fields of knowledge, the fourth focusses on the topic of dissemination. All contributions present new material–be it on 'Huguenot' hermeneutics, journalism, history, or on the relationship between Berlin and the United Provinces. Contributors include: Lutz Danneberg, Joris van Eijnatten, Herbert Jaumann, John Christian Laursen, Fabrizio Lomonaco, Martin Mulsow, Fiammetta Palladini, Sandra Pott, and Annett Volmer.

Abstract

From his first visit to Berlin in 1916, Hitler was preoccupied and fascinated by Germany's great capital city. In this vivid and entirely new account of Hitler's relationship with Berlin, Thomas Friedrich explores how Hitler identified with the city, how his political aspirations were reflected in architectural aspirations for the capital, and how Berlin surprisingly influenced the development of Hitler's political ideas.A leading expert on the twentieth-century history of Berlin, Friedrich employs new and little-known German sources to track Hitler's attitudes and plans for the city. Even while he despised both the cosmopolitan culture of the Weimar Republic and the profound Jewish influence on the city, Hitler was drawn to the grandiosity of its architecture and its imperial spirit. He dreamed of transforming Berlin into a capital that would reflect his autocracy, and he used the city for such varied purposes as testing his anti-Semitic policies and demonstrating the might of the Third Reich. Illuminating Berlin's burdened years under Nazi subjection, Friedrich offers new understandings of Hitler and his politics, architectural views, and artistic opinions.
