Katharina Mayer. Familienbande
Die Düsseldorfer Fotografin Katharina Mayer, die bei Bernd und Hilla Becher studiert hat, widmet sich seit längerem intensiv dem Thema Familie. Gezeigt werden zahlreiche neue Arbeiten, die in den letzten Jahren auf ihren internationalen Reisen entstanden sind. Ihre Fotografien bewegen sich auf einem schmalen Grat zwischen künstlerischer Inszenierung und dem Dokumentarischen. Aber wo genau die Grenze verläuft, ist nie ganz klar. Katharina Mayer führt Regie und sie setzt in Szene, bevor sie fotografiert: Ungewöhnliche Standpunkte, Körperhaltungen, Blickrichtungen und Requisiten gehören zu ihren Mitteln der Gestaltung. So entstehen aufgeladene Familienportraits, die einerseits Reales zu verhandeln scheinen und doch wirken, wie eine hintergründige und leicht surreale Inszenierung.00Exhibition: Städtische Galerie Waldkraiburg, Germany (29.09.-05.11.2017).
Man of Two Worlds
In 1854, Wilhelm F. Kempe, 26, and his sister Auguste, 20, left their native Kingdom of Saxony in Europe for a new home in Texas. Remaining in Saxony were their aging, widowed father and a 10-year-old sister and an 8-year-old brother -- people who struggled for decades to reconcile their lives in the Old World with that of their relatives in the New World. Their letters to Wilhelm tell, often painfully, of the emotional toll this disruption took on the lives of family and friends who remained in the Fatherland. As the only connection betwen his family in Europe and his family in America, Wilhelm carried the weight of both. Over half a century he coped with all of their needs, as well as the Civil War and the desires of others who wanted to leave Europe and join him in Texas -- challenges that come alive through the letters they wrote.
Forever Faithful
This is the third in a series of genealogical studies of German families that emigrated to the Kingdom of Hungary in the early 18th century and settled in Somogy County. Kötcse is the oldest of the three major German Lutheran parishes that evolved and numerous families from Kötcse were instrumental in the establishment of the other two. The family histories of those who settled in the parish of Somogydöröcske are included in the volume: Dörnberg: In the Shadow of the Josefsberg; and those from the parish of Ecsény in From Toleration to Expulsion that both preceded this publication. In addition to the genealogical information the author provides the historical context and other information vital to an understanding of the lifestyle, traditions and ultimate destiny of their sojourn in Hungary and beyond.
From Toleration to Expulsion
On April 6, 1948, a significant portion of the population of the village of Ecsny in Somogy County, Hungary, was expelled from their homeland. This was the result of Protocol XIII of the Potsdam Declaration of 1945 calling for the orderly and humane transfer of German populations now living in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. The families involved were descendants of German settlers who began to arrive in what would become the village of Ecsny as early as 1754. They formed an Evangelical Lutheran congregation at the outset that would survive as an underground movement until the Edict of Toleration promulgated by the Emperor Joseph II of Austria in 1782. These two governmental actions tak...
