On Their Own Behalf
What form should Europe take? Should it be based on ‘nation states’ or ‘states of nations’? On what basis should European unification proceed? Should it be an élite undertaking pioneered by statesmen elected to democratic government offices, or should true unification also demand a significant European cultural forum open to spokesmen and –women representing the continent’s nationality groups? Was the League of Nations really such a thing? Or was it a League of States? All these questions were posed by Ewald Ammende and his fellow minority associates during the 1920s. Coming to terms with the consequences of collapsed empires and at least four years of conflict, they were forced...
Zum Gedenken an Heinrich Wittram
Der Theologe Heinrich Wittram (1931-2018) ist Esten, Letten und Deutschbalten in lebhafter Erinnerung. Viele haben ihn als Redner und Organisator erlebt, als Vermittler zwischen Ost und West, und Viele haben auch wohl manche seiner zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen gelesen. Seine Erforschung der baltischen Kirchengeschichte war noch von seiner familiären Herkunft geprägt und markiert insofern das Ende einer reichen Geschichte, zugleich aber auch den Ausgangspunkt zu deren weiterer Erschließung. Die Herausgeber dieses Bändchens waren deshalb darum bemüht, diesen Ausgangspunkt künftiger historischer Arbeit durch die Wiedergabe einiger zeitgenössischer Erinnerungen an Heinrich Wittram und durch die Zusammenstellung seiner verstreut publizierten Artikel zu ermöglichen.
Georg Busolt
This book is a study of Georg Busolt (1850-1920), a noted German historian of classical Greece. The treatment is based on a collection of his own letters, mainly written to other scholars. Over 100 letters from Busolt to others are collected and edited here. Each letter, in the original German, is presented with commentary and the whole is woven into a chronological narrative and survey of Busolt's career. There are four chapters (The Busolt Family; Königsberg; Kiel, Göttingen), the last three corresponding to the universities where he studied and taught. Despite Busolt's eminence and the continued usefulness of his two great handbooks (Griechische Geschichte; Griechische Staatskunde), nothing has ever been written about him. Moreover, the narrative gives a picture of Prussian universities and academic issues during his period - a crucial one for the development of German education - and is thus a contribution to the history of scholarship.
