Comical Modernity
‘To laugh at the modern was to be modern’. With these final lines of her book, Heidi Hakkarainen highlights the significance of humour for the dynamic environment of modern cities. Humour allowed one to adjust to the difficulties, frustrations and absurdities of life living cheek to jowl with one’s fellow man.

Marriage or Profession? Marriage and Profession? Marriage Patterns Among Highly Successful Women of Jewish Descent and Other Women in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century German-Speaking Central Europe

Jason Crouthamel. An Intimate History of the Front
Between October 1914 and December 1918, the schoolteacher Felix F. wrote daily letters to his wife Maria and described in detail the miserable life of a lieutenant fighting at the front.

The rest of his life unfolded as a kind of nightmare; sometimes, he would cry himself to sleep while standin…
Contradictory Fin-de Siècle Reform
The pistol remains the weapon of cripples, the senile, and those infected with a communicable disease.

Contested Rituals
The Burschenschaft and German Political Culture, 1890–1914
In the history of the Burschenschaft published in 1939, Georg Heer wrote that with the coming of the National Socialists to power “the goals of the German Burschenschaft had been achieved; the National Socialist German Student Union had now taken over its tasks.” Of course Heer was not free to write what he wished about the 1935 dissolution of the Burschenschaft, but his interpretation is consistent with the ideas of many historians about this im…
