Die Eröffnung eines neu gewählten Parlaments durch einen Alterspräsidenten kann als „urdemokratisches“ Verfahren gelten, das eine direkte Verbindung zwischen den Anfängen der kontinentaleuropäischen Demokratie und dem modernen Parlamentarismus herstellt. Was aber, wenn ein Extremist oder eine anderweitig umstrittene Person in dieses Amt und zu der damit verbundenen, öffentlich stark beachteten Rede kommt? Diese umfassende Studie leistet zweierlei: Zum einen vergleicht sie erstmals die historischen, politischen, rechtlichen, personellen und kommunikativen Eigenschaften der drei wichtigsten Amtsoptionen für eine Parlamentseröffnung. Zum anderen untersucht sie Situationen, in denen es Streit um einen Alterspräsidenten gab, und unterzieht die gefundenen Konfliktlösungen kritischen Analysen. Beibehaltung des Amtes, Modifikation oder Abschaffung – diese Frage reicht bis hinein in die politische Kultur einer Demokratie.

Both in our time and in the past, death was one of the most important aspects of anyone’s life. The early modern period saw drastic changes in rites of death, burials and commemoration. One particularly fruitful avenue of research is not to focus on death in general, but the moment of death specifically. This volume investigates this transitionary moment between life and death. In many cases, this was a death on a deathbed, but it also included the scaffold, battlefield or death in the streets. Contributors include: Friedrich J. Becher, Benedikt Brunner, Isabel Casteels, Martin Christ, Louise Deschryver, Irene Dingel, Michaël Green, Vanessa Harding, Sigrun Haude, Vera Henkelmann, Imke Lichterfeld, Erik Seeman, Elizabeth Tingle, and Hillard von Thiessen

From German unification in 1871 through the early 1960s, confessional tensions between Catholics and Protestants were a source of deep division in German society. Engaging this period of historic strife, Germany and the Confessional Divide focuses on three traumatic episodes: the Kulturkampf waged against the Catholic Church in the 1870s, the collapse of the Hohenzollern monarchy and state-supported Protestantism after World War I, and the Nazi persecution of the churches. It argues that memories of these traumatic experiences regularly reignited confessional tensions. Only as German society became increasingly secular did these memories fade and tensions ease.
