The Fateful Alliance
On 30 January 1933, Alfred Hugenberg's conservative German National People's Party (DNVP) formed a coalition government with the Nazi Party, thus enabling Hitler to accede to the chancellorship. This book analyzes in detail the complicated relationship between Conservatives and Nazis and offers a re-interpretation of the Nazi seizure of power - the decisive months between 30 January and 14 July 1933. The Machtergreifung is characterized here as a period of all-pervasive violence and lawlessness with incessant conflicts between Nazis and German Nationals and Nazi attacks on the conservative Bürgertum, a far cry from the traditional depiction of the takeover as a relatively bloodless, virtual...
Nazis and Nobles
In the mountain of books that have been written about the Third Reich, surprisingly little has been said about the role played by the German nobility in the Nazis' rise to power.

A Sea of Love presents 95 letters exchanged between Hamburg and Antebellum USA by the famous Berlin born scholar, encyclopedist, and knowledge broker Francis Lieber (1798-1872) and his wife, Hamburg born Mathilde in 1839-1845.

Beyond genuine individual phenomena of their Atlantic emotions their epistles show ways and methods of international communication and networking. Their writings reflect general notions and ideas shared by well-educated citizens of an Atlantic Republic of Letters connected by culture, interests, and emotions.
Die Fakultät für Technische Chemie/The Faculty of Technical Chemistry
The Faculty of Technical Chemistry introduces itself! The historical development of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the TU is presented in the five chapters of this volume, starting with the foundation of the Imperial Royal Polytechnic Institute in 1815 and reaching all the way to the TU Wien in 2015, including current research highlights of the Faculty of Technical Chemistry and an overview of its modern equipment and building infrastructure, curricula, and excellent contact with the alumni. A lively picture of the teaching and research of this successful faculty and fully renovated Getreidemarkt Campus is painted, making, however, no claims to completeness.
