Building Bridges between Catholicism and Socialism
This article examines the ideological and political transformations that allowed dialogue between Catholics and socialists to bear fruit in the Federal Republic of Germany in the immediate post-war era. It focuses on the role played by Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde, the prominent Catholic intellectual, constitutional theorist, historian and future Constitutional Court justice
Christian Democratic Workers and the Forging of German Democracy, 1920-1980
How do we account for the remarkable political and economic stability achieved in the Federal Republic of Germany in its first three decades after the upheavals of the Wilhelmine era and Weimar Republic? To be sure, there has been no shortage of explanations. These have included the stabilization made possible by the Cold War, the Marshall Plan, economic prosperity, lessons learned from the war-torn past, the erosion of divisive social milieus an…
Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde and the Rapprochement of Catholicism and Socialism
This article examines how the German constitutional theorist, Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde, sought to build bridges between Catholicism and Socialism, two worlds frequently perceived to have been in conflict with each other. It begins by presenting Böckenförde’s diagnosis from the mid-1950s through the early 1960s of a shortfall in the democratic substance of the Federal Republic. It shows how his move towards the Social Democratic Party (SPD) was …
Wenn Hunger droht
This edited volume examines how the Christian churches dealt both practically and theologically with the problem of hunger over six centuries in Germany. Compiled and introduced by the eminent Tübingen theologian and church historian, Andreas Holzem, and with contributions from ten church and profane historians, this volume originated out of one of the many research groups ubiquitous in today’s landscape of German higher education. The fruits of …
Katholische Frauenbewegung in Deutschland 1945–1962
»Kinder, Küche, Kirche« gilt allgemein als Stereotype für das Rollenbild der Frau in der Adenauer-Ära. Das Beispiel des Katholischen Deutschen Frauenbundes zeigt eine andere, weitaus dynamischere Wirklichkeit. Die dort engagierten Katholikinnen kämpften um politischen Einfluss und setzten sich für bessere Berufschancen von Frauen sowie für die Anerkennung der Haus- und Familienarbeit ein. Innerhalb der Kirche forderten sie Frauenquoten in Laiengr…
The Pope's Dilemma
Since the premiere of Rolf Hochhuth's play The Deputy in 1963, there has been no shortage of voices excoriating Pope Pius XII for his alleged moral failures during the Holocaust. Critics have repeatedly pointed out that Pius did not issue an emphatic condemnation of the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany, the Croatian Ustasha, or other Axis allies. Jacques Kornberg adds to the chorus of criticism, but with a set of arguments as critical of earl…
Kathrin Zehender. Christine Teusch
In Christine Teusch: Eine politische Biografie, the German historian Kathrin Zehender paints a sympathetic portrait of Center Party and Christian Democratic Union (CDU) politician Christine Teusch. One of the first women to enter the Weimar parliament, Teusch was the first high-ranking female cabinet official in the Federal Republic. A contemporary of its mayor and future chancellor Konrad Adenauer, Teusch served as the Minister of Culture for th…
Katholizismus in Deutschland
An der Nahtstelle eines tiefgreifenden Wandels des deutschen Katholizismus wurde 1962 die Kommission für Zeitgeschichte gegründet. Die quellennahe Aufarbeitung seiner Vergangenheit sollte als verlässliches Fundament für die Auseinandersetzungen über Gegenwartsfragen in Kirche und Gesellschaft dienen. Der Band vereinigt Beiträge, in denen namhafte Historiker, Theologen, Soziologen und Politikwissenschaftler die Zusammenhänge von Zeitgeschichte und…
Sean BRENNAN. The Politics of Religion in Soviet-Occupied Germany
Sean Brennan's concise book about the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches in the Soviet occupation zone of Germany will interest those keen on learning about the wrangling and tensions within the East German and Soviet leadership and the responses of the churches to an increasingly repressive state. How did policies of religious toleration, however limited, pursued by the Soviet occupation authorities in 1945 and 1946 give way to a crackdown o…

Hitler's Priests
Kevin Spicer's new book provides a comprehensive analysis of the 1% of Roman Catholic clergy in Germany during the Nazi era who fell into the category of the ‘brown priests’. These one hundred and thirty-eight priests explicitly identified with the National Socialist movement and ideology and accordingly sought to build bridges between Roman Catholicism and the Nazi party. Fifty-three actually joined the Nazi party, twenty-eight wound up leaving …
Integrating Religion into the Historical Mainstream
Those discovering the growing number of writings on the religious history of the Federal Republic of Germany might be forgiven for thinking that they had entered a parallel universe. To use the terminology popularized by M. Rainer Lepsius, Christian milieus have largely disintegrated and their members been integrated into the mainstream of political and economic life. Yet until recently, research on German Catholicism and Protestantism has remain…
