The name "Third Reich" is in the history of the German Empire an erroneously often used denomination for the time span between the seizure of power by the national socialists on the 30th of January in 1933 and the capitulation of the German war might on the 7th and 9th of May in 1945.

Deutsche Bank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Deutsche Bank was founded in Germany on January 22, 1870 as a specialist bank for foreign trade in Berlin by the private banker Adelbert Delbruck and the politician Ludwig Bamberger. Deutsche Bank's involvement in Auschwitz was finally revealed in February 1999 when the bank came under scrutiny during its bid for US bank Bankers Trust. Deutsche Bank sued their insurance carriers to require them to pay out the claims and in December 2004 Deutsche Bank settled with the insurance carriers and then sold the building to the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Corporation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Deutsche_Bank   (729 words)

Steve Reich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Reich is known as one of the pioneers of minimalism, although he sometimes deviates from a purely minimalist style. Reich's work took on a darker character in the 1980s with the introduction of political themes as well as themes from his Jewish heritage. Reich thinks that it will again be with tape, and he also states that he is thinking about Stravinsky's Agon (1957) as a model for the instrumental writing. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Steve_Reich   (2952 words)

Nazi Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nazi Germany, or the Third Reich, refers to Germany in the years 1933–1945, when it was under the control of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), or Nazi Party, with the Führer Adolf Hitler as chancellor and head of state. The Nazi Party used the terms "Drittes Reich" and "Tausendjähriges Reich" ("Thousand-Year Reich") to connect the new German Empire to the ones of old - the Holy Roman Empire and German Empire - while alluding to envisioned future prosperity and the nation's supposed destiny. In speeches, books and articles about the Third Reich after 8 May 1945, the 1000 years is often juxtaposed against the twelve years of the Third Reich's existence. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Third_Reich   (4476 words)

Malcolm Ball - Steve Reich Steve Reich was born in New York in 1936 and spent much of his early childhood travelling from New York to California, the result of parental separation but an experience that later in life was to manifest in some degree in his composition Different Trains. It was also in 1970 when Reich journeyed to Ghana to study African drumming with the Ewe tribe and on his return to the U.S. composed Drumming from the autumn of 70 to the autumn of 71. Currently, Steve Reich and Beryl Karot are at work on their next collaboration Three Tales which deals with three key subjects which have had or could have extreme consequences on life in the 20th and 21st centuries. members.aol.com /malcmuso/reich.htm   (1783 words)

Association of Women Industrial Designers || Chat || Lilly Reich Lilly Reich, born in Berlin in 1885, began her career as a designer of textiles and women's apparel, which was one of the few fields in design open to women at that time. In 1920 Reich became the first woman to be made director of the Deutsche Werkbund, an unprecedented achievement because women at that time were not expected to have the same abilities in the arts as men. In 1943 Reich's studio was bombed and she was drafted into a forced-labor, civil engineering organization in which she remained until 1945. www.core77.com /AWID/reich.html   (928 words)

Germany since reunification Since the Deutsche Reich, the Second Empire, was realised by Chancellor Bismark in 1871, there have been at least six different states called Germany, each with its own raison d'être, population, society, economy, government, and international boundaries. The Deutsche Bund, established in 1815 at the Congress of Vienna, united 39 German princedoms and independent cities, but it rapidly disintegrated after 1849, after an ambitious attempt to create a unified administration came to nothing, when the Emperor of Prussia refused to become head of the unified state. Although it only covers roughly two thirds the area of the Deutsche Reich, it is unequivocally the one and only German state, and clearly the locus of the German nation within the framework of the Kleindeutschland concept. www.intellectbooks.com /europa/number3/blacksel.htm   (4030 words)

State and nation: Germany since reunification Mark Blacksell First of all, it is crucial to stress the obvious point that this is a new Germany, and the latest in a line of 'new Germanies' that have come and gone in the course of the 20th century (Figure 1). Since the Deutsche Reich, the Second Empire, was realised by Chancellor Bismark in 1871, there have been at least six different states called Germany, each with its own raison d'etre, population, society, economy, government, and international boundaries. The extent of the land-grab undertaken during the Third Reich is astounding (Figure 2). www.intellectbooks.com /nation/html/germany.htm   (3956 words)

Wikinfo | German Empire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Its German translation is Deutsches Reich, which was the state's official name (and continued to be until the collapse of Nazi Germany at the end of World War II in 1945). As far as the Deutsche Reich is concerned, this article only details German history from 1871 to 1918; for later periods, see Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany. The armed forces, inculcated in the militarism of the Prussian Junkers – the glorification of war, and supreme and unquestioning loyalty to the state, leader, and hierarchy – remained passionately loyal to the Hohenzollern dynasty. www.wikinfo.org /wiki.php?title=German_Empire   (2941 words)

Texte/Autobahn 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) The network concept also had the advantage that construction could be started simultaneously at several different places within the Reich, thus providing a far greater number of propaganda opportunities than, for example, constructing two large hydroelectric power plants in order to create jobs. This study by the Deutsche Industrie- und Handelstag, which one might have expected to promote motorisation, indicates the comparatively weak position of the German automobile industry in competition with other economic sectors. In response, Hitler summoned the Director General of the Deutsche Reichsbahngesellschaft, Julius Dorpmüller, to the Chancellery on 16 March 1933 for a lecture about competition between the Reichsbahn and road haulage. www.wirtschaft.uni-kassel.de /vahrenkamp/Autobahn_1933-Dateien/AUTOBAHN_1933-ENGL.htm   (6960 words)

DB-Konzern - 1835 to 1994 The two chairmen are made responsible for co-ordinating both railways and are to merge the two operations technologically and organisationally. This is the first successful conclusion of the serious discussions on rail reform relating to the privatisation and merger of the Bundesbahn and Reichsbahn that have been conducted since 1989. A prerequisite for setting up Deutsche Bahn AG was the approval by the Federal Government and the Federal Council of an amendment to § 87 of the German Constitution and an amendment to § 28 of the General Railway Act in favour of a joint-stock company operating in accordance with business principles. www.db.de /site/bahn/en/db__group/corporate__group/history/chronology/1835__1994/1835__1994.html   (904 words)

Das Dritte Reich - Deutschland unter dem Nationalsozialismus - Geschichte, Bedeutung, Quellen Andere konservative Kritiker der Weimarer Republik äußerten sich ähnlich: das „Dritte Reich“ sollte die ungeliebte demokratische Ordnung ablösen. Damit würden die sozialen Gegensätze in einer „organischen“ Staatsform aufgelöst werden und eine wahre „Volksgemeinschaft“ entstehen. Wie wichtig es ist, Antworten auf diese Fragen zu finden, wird klar, wenn man sich vor Augen führt, dass sich der deutsche Alltag vor dem Hintergrund von ungeheueren, staatlich veranlassten Verbrechen abspielte.

Notes on language and terms used The Second Reich was called Das Deutsche Reich (The German Empire) and was the result of the unification of Germany under the political leadership of Otto von Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor. As a matter of note, Germany, Austria, England, The USA and the Scandinavian countries were held to be Aryan (except for the Jews therein), whilst countries such as France and Wales were deemed ‘Celtic’ and Russia and the East in general were held to be ‘Mongoloid’. As a last word on this subject of race and inherited characteristics, it is noteworthy that the distribution of blood group types amongst the population of southern England follows the spread of the various invading forces over the last two thousand years. www.oradour.info /general/notes001.htm   (2207 words)
