This dictionary serves as a comprehensive guide to the people, events, movements, and ideas that have shaped modern Germany. It begins with the expansion of Prussia under Frederick the Great in the mid-18th century and navigates through the upheaval of the late 18th and 19th centuries, highlighting the profound effects of the Napoleonic Wars and the unification of Germany under Bismarck. The text also explores the rise of German militarism and its contributions to two devastating global conflicts in the 20th century. Additionally, it details the experiences of divided Germany during the Cold War, the economic boom in West Germany, the events leading to the Berlin Wall's dismantling, and reunification in 1989-90. The volume further examines Germany's role in European integration and the adoption of a single currency in the early 21st century. With over 1800 articles, it covers major political, diplomatic, and military topics alongside economic, social, and cultural matters. Thematic articles on subjects like absolutism and anti-Semitism combine clear narrative with incisive analysis, while concise entries define essential terms, provide biographical data on figures from Hegel to Himmler, and present key facts about significant battles, treaties, and locations. The dictionary is extensively cross-referenced and includes maps, tables, and appendices.
First published in 1999, this volume explores how the cities of central Europe, among them Berlin, Budapest, Hamburg, Vienna and Prague, went through a period of phenomenal growth during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Their rapid expansion and growing economic importance made citizens aware of the need to manage the fabric and culture of the urban environment, while burgeoning nationalism and the development of local and international tourism constructed cities as showcases for national and regional identity. Competing visions of how city and nation should represent themselves were advanced by different social groups, by commercial interests and by local and national political authorities. Among the developments examined in this collection of essays are the campaign for the architectural development of Hamburg; international modernism and notions of the garden city in Czechoslovakia; competition among German cities as art centres; the role of Wawel Hill in Kraków as a vehicle for Polish nationalism; tourism in Austria-Hungary; Jewish assimilation in Vienna; social control and cultural policy in Vienna; and the representation of Berlin on film.The volume is introduced by Malcolm Gee, Tim Kirk and Jill Steward who provide an historical overview which establishes a context for the exchange of ideas and competition between the cities of central Europe during this period.
