Focusing on Marburg, a contentious university town where voters demonstrated strong electoral support for Adolf Hitler's National Socialist party, this imaginative study discusses the political role of small-town organizational life and painstakingly reconstructs the full range of Nazi sympathizers' cross-affiliations with local voluntary groups.
In the spring of 1933, German society was deeply divided – in the Reichstag elections on 5 March, only a small percentage voted for Hitler. Yet, once he seized power, his creation of a socially inclusive Volksgemeinschaft, promising equality, economic prosperity and the restoration of honor and pride after the humiliating ending of World War I persuaded many Germans to support him and to shut their eyes to dictatorial coercion, concentration camps, secret state police, and the exclusion of large sections of the population. The author argues however, that the everyday practice of exclusion changed German society itself: bureaucratic discrimination and violent anti-Jewish actions destroyed the civil and constitutional order and transformed the German nation into an aggressive and racist society. Based on rich source material, this book offers one of the most comprehensive accounts of this transformation as it traces continuities and discontinuities and the replacement of a legal order with a violent one, the extent of which may not have been intended by those involved.
Early Christian World presents an exhaustive, erudite and lavishly illustrated treatment of how the small movement which formed around Jesus in Galilee became the pre-eminent religion of the ancient world. The work begins by firmly situating early Christianity within its Mediterranean social, political and religious contexts, before charting the history of the first Christian centuries. The creation and perpetuation of Christian communities through various means, including mission and monasticism, is explored, as is the everyday experience of early Christians, through discussion of gender and sexuality, religious practice, communication and social structures. The intellectual (particularly t...
Albrecht Götze, Professor für Semitische Sprachen und Orientalische Geschichte, 1930 von Heidelberg nach Marburg berufen, wurde von den nationalsozialistischen Machthabern wegen „pazifistischer Einstellung“ Ende 1933 seines Amtes enthoben. Das offizielle Entlassungsschreiben trug den Vermerk „Fall Gumbel“. Die reichsweite Verfolgungswelle gegen die politischen Unterstützer des Heidelberger Hochschullehrers Emil J. Gumbel traf auch Albrecht Götze. Gumbel war als prominenter Pazifist, der die politischen Morde der Nationalsozialisten und die Rolle der rechtslastigen Weimarer Justiz immer wieder öffentlich dokumentiert hatte, bereits 1932 entlassen worden. Die Arbeit beleuchtet anh...
