Pogląd Adolfa Eichlera na niemieckość Łodzi. O tworzeniu krajobrazu pamięci o charakterze narodowym
Artykuł poświęcony został Adolfowi Eichlerowi uznawanemu za prekursora i pierwszego propagatora idei „niemieckości zagranicznej”, sytuując go w służbie ideologii narodowosocjalistycznej. W rzeczywistości Eichler rozwinął ideologię volkistowsko-narodową („völkisch”), ukazując ją począwszy od polityki rusyfikacji w Królestwie Polskim, zyskującą następnie na dynamice podczas I wojny światowej, a ostatecznie pod presją polskiej antyniemieckiej polity…
Nationalizing modern urban lifestyles in conflicting multi-ethnic regions of the Habsburg monarchy
Experiencing the modern European monarchy
Promising and fostering collective ontological security in multi-ethnic contexts
The article assumes that collective ontological security is a main precondition for creating and fostering societal cohesion, particular in conflicting minority-majority constellations. It aims to discuss and contribute to the understanding of ontological security in historical perspective, particularly in relation to the emergence and endurance of ethnic conflicts over the long term. Reading national conflicts as an outcome of securitization and…
The Nation at Stake? Ideologizing Conceptions of Family Planning in East Central Europe Since 1939
This introduction outlines the conceptional framework of the special issue and the current state of research as well as the main juridical, political and social milestones within the discussed timeframe. It offers a historicized view on conceptions of the family and their interdependencies, particularly perceptions of the woman’s role in the respective societies and states for the assessment of family values. In doing so, it places a lens on abor…
Birth Control as a National Challenge
Providing the conceptional framework of the special issue and discussing its main hypotheses, the introductory article points out that extraordinary vivid discourses on birth control in journalism emerged during East Central Europe's interwar period. They fought for more liberal attitudes towards birth control, but were combined with a peculiar emphasis on the nation, since they were more intensively colored by and integrated in nationalizing dis…
Debating Social Change and the Jewish Nation
The objectives of the debates on birth control and thus of the concepts of family planning had changed in East Central Europe after World War I as a result of the founding of nation states. The respective dominant as well as non-dominant national groups colored them nationally by focusing on the development of their own nation. A particular example of the inherent national coloration of the transnationally effective discourses on birth control is…
City museums in the emerging cities of Eastern Europe, 1880–1939
In the late nineteenth century, cities from the Austro-Hungarian, Prussian and Russian Empires gained new importance and developed ambitions to become regional and/or national centres. City museums became key vehicles with which to advance this project. Before 1918, modern urbanism was tightly interwoven with projects of nation building. After the First World War, and within the context of newly independent states, this interdependence between ur…

Rampart Nations
The “bulwark” or antemurale myth—whereby a region is imagined as a defensive barrier against a dangerous Other—has been a persistent strand in the development of Eastern European nationalisms. While historical studies of the topic have typically focused on clashes and overlaps between sociocultural and religious formations, Rampart Nations delves deeper to uncover the mutual transfers and multi-sided national and interconfessional conflicts that …
Rampart Nations
Double transformations
Following the collapse of empires and the subsequent founding of self-determined nation-states, East Central Europe experienced a turning point after World War I. The new states had to transform themselves from branches of a multi-ethnic empire to independent nation-states, as well as from a system of monarchy to democracy at the same time. We argue that one cannot really understand why democracy failed in almost all East Central European states …
National Minorities in the Soviet Bloc after 1945
National Minorities in the Soviet Bloc after 1945: New Historical Research in Micro- and Regional Studies* David Feest (bio) and Heidi Hein-Kircher (bio) The development of ethnicity and nationality as key concepts of local identities in East-Central Europe has been thoroughly explored in regional studies. Yet, these studies have largely focused on the 19th and early 20th century. This focus can easily create the impression that the region’s ethn…
The City and the Knowledge in East Central Europe
When detaching oneself from this picture that cities in East Central Europe were “outdated,” one is quick to recognize that cities there were emerging and became at least regional metropolises. Hence, the article assumes that their development and rise took place because of a productive and dynamic reciprocal relationship between knowledge transfer and urban as well as social modernization, which developed in a tight conjunction with rising natio…
Emerging Cities”
The article focuses on the interaction of knowledge transfer and urbanization in the emerging cities of East and Central Europe 1880-1945. Doing so, the article is arguing that in the East European borderlands, this interaction can be understood as reception and creative development of impulses transformed by local socioeconomic and cultural factors, such as multiethnicity, multiconfessionalisation, and nationalizing processes, which are specific…
Deutsch-Polnische Erinnerungsorte
Die Texte des vierten Bandes der Deutsch-Polnischen Erinnerungsorte laden dazu ein, einen Blick "hinter die Kulissen" des Projektes zu werfen. Interessierte können Aufschluss über den theoretischen Rahmen der Publikationsreihe gewinnen. Wer sich während der Lektüre der Deutsch-Polnischen Erinnerungsorte gefragt hat, wie Erinnerungskulturen entstehen und wie man sie analysieren kann, findet in diesem Band nicht eine, sondern viele sich ergänzende …
