Frankfurt am Main

Crime and Punishment in Early Modern Germany
Frankfurt am Main, in common with other imperial German cities, enjoyed a large degree of legal autonomy during the early modern period, and produced a unique and rich body of criminal archives. In particular, Frankfurt’s Strafenbuch, which records all criminal sentences between 1562 and 1696, provides a fascinating insight into contemporary penal trends. Drawing on this and other rich resources, Dr. Boes reveals shifting and fluid attitudes towards crime and punishment and how these were conditioned by issues of gender, class, and social standing within the city’s establishment. She attributes a significant role in this process to the steady proliferation of municipal advocates, jurists...
All for You
Emil, a Jewish man in 1930s Germany, loves Deta, a Lutheran, but Nazi racial purity laws forbid their marriage. Desperate to find a place where their love can survive, they must separate to get away. Deta leaves for England, but Emil has to overcome red tape, resistance from his aging parents, and his own ambivalence before he can embark for America. With only telegrams and letters from Deta to sustain him, he does all he can to bring her and his family to America. But the clock is ticking as the war breaks out and the Nazis tighten their stranglehold. From the heartbreaking news of November 10, 1938 (Kristallnacht) to the horrific revelations after the German surrender in 1945, Emil’s story runs the course of the war. Can he make his way in this new world? Will he be reunited with his beloved Deta? And will he ever see his family again? Told by Emil’s daughter with the help of letters and historical documents, All for You is a true story about love overcoming despair and the impact the Holocaust continues to have on the rising generation.
Remembering for the Future
Focused on 'The Holocaust in an Age of Genocide', Remembering for the Future brings together the work of nearly 200 scholars from more than 30 countries and features cutting-edge scholarship across a range of disciplines, amounting to the most extensive and powerful reassessment of the Holocaust ever undertaken. In addition to its international scope, the project emphasizes that varied disciplinary perspectives are needed to analyze and to check the genocidal forces that have made the Twentieth century so deadly. Historians and ethicists, psychologists and literary scholars, political scientists and theologians, sociologists and philosophers - all of these, and more, bring their expertise to bear on the Holocaust and genocide. Their contributions show the new discoveries that are being made and the distinctive approaches that are being developed in the study of genocide, focusing both on archival and oral evidence, and on the religious and cultural representation of the Holocaust.
Iris Runge
This book concerns the origins of mathematical problem solving at the internationally active Osram and Telefunken Corporations during the golden years of broadcasting and electron tube research. The woman scientist Iris Runge, who received an interdisciplinary education at the University of Göttingen, was long employed as the sole mathematical authority at these companies in Berlin. It will be shown how mathematical connections were made between statistics and quality control, and between physical-chemical models and the actual problems of mass production. The organization of industrial laboratories, the relationship between theoretical and experimental work, and the role of mathematicians ...

The Politics of Torah
Founded in Germany in 1912, Agudat Israel was the first comprehensive, international political movement among Orthodox Jews. This study examines the forces that led to its formation, setting its history into the context of both the millennial Jewish political tradition and the Jewish struggle with the disenchanting effects of modernity. Mittleman shows that from its formation to the present, Agudah has represented the political interests of the most traditional members of the Jewish community. This book addresses the question of why such arch-traditionalists turned to politics, examines in detail the conflicts that shaped the movement's character, and explores the movement's relationship with prior expressions of Jewish political thought and practice.
Bad Homburg
Ein Gang durch die Geschichte der Stadt Bad Homburg von der Landgrafenzeit bis heute, lebendig erzählt dank abwechslungsreicher Berichte, spannender Anekdoten und stimmungsvoller Gedichte. Fotos, Bilder sowie zeitgenössische Illustrationen ergänzen sie wirkungsvoll und informativ. Lauscht man den Brunnen Bad Homburgs könnten sie von flanierenden Kurgästen, von Dramen im Kasino der Brüder Blanc, vom Sport im Kurpark, den Prinzen, Kaisern, Zaren, Schriftstellern, Künstlern und Kranken, alle im gemeinsamen Leid mit ambitionierten Ärzten verbunden, erzählen - hier können Sie diese Geschichten nachlesen. Auch die der Villa Wertheimber, einst Sitz einer jüdischen Frankfurter Bankiersfamilie im ehemaligen Prinzengarten. Als Herrenhaus errichtet, bot sie nach dem Krieg Kriegsversehrten ein Heim und dient heute als Stadtarchiv, wo auch die Arbeit des Dichters Hölderlin eine Heimat gefunden hat. Genießt man dort gerade nicht Natur und Kultur im Gustavsgarten mit spielenden Kindern, dann kann man auch wunderbar für ein Buch recherchieren, so wie für dieses!
Ein Liebesgruß an Frankfurt
Wer Wolfgang Kaus kennt, weiß, dass der ehemalige Leiter des Frankfurter Volkstheaters sowohl klassische Literatur als auch den heimischen Frankfurter Dialekt liebt. Als Träger des Stoltze-Preises, der "Frankfurter Latern" und der Ehrenplakette der Stadt Frankfurt kann der gebürtige Hofheimer ein ereignisreiches Leben vorweisen. Mit "Ein Liebesgruß an Frankfurt" stellt er seine Lieblingsgedichte und kleine Lebensweisheiten in einem bezaubernden und sehr persönlichen Werk zusammen. Zu seinen Lebensthemen Jahreszeiten, Frankfurt, Alter und Liebe stellt Wolfgang Kaus seine liebsten Texte von u.a. Friedrich Stoltze, Karl Ettlinger, Erich Fries, Walter Weisbecker und Dieter Schneider vor. Umrahmt von mal fröhlichen und mal nachdenklichen Gedanken des Autors, zeigen die meist mundartlichen Gedichte "was [.] nur dran [ist] an dieser Stadt, dass jeder sie so gerne hat", um Hedi Karl zu zitieren. Wolfgang Kaus' Ode an Frankfurt ist ein Muss für jeden hibb der Bach und dribb der Bach.
