 To Tell the Truth? The East German Literary Debate. Probe the predicament GDR authors currently face. By Monica Munn
Christa Wolf was one of the German Democratic Republic's (GDR) most popular and well-known writers in East and West; the Western literary world respected her especially for her down-to-earth criticism of the Socialist Unity Party's (SED) regime.

 Morganatic and Unequal Marriages in German Law
Finally, German law had a peculiar institution (derived from Lombard law) called "morganatic marriage." This was a marriage in which, by virtue of the contract itself, the claims of the spouse and offspring were limited in certain ways.
The rules of German law originally prohibited marriages between free and unfree; later, under the influence of Church law which allowed such marriages, they became accepted as marriages, but with the consequence that the children had the status of their unfree parent.
Members of the German upper nobility were not merely large landlords, they exercised over their territories many functions that we associate with government rather than ownership, in particular judicial and legal powers (powers to pass and enforce laws, to administer justice and ensure law and order).

 Seidenstricker Arrival in Pennsylvania
The first German immigration of which a specific record survives is that of a colony of Mennonites, often called "German Quakers," led by Francis Daniel Pastorius.
From that date on, the colonial government required ships' captains to submit lists of their German and other Continental passengers due to a growing concern about the potential dangers of the sizable influx of non-English speaking immigrants whose political antecedents were uncertain.
In 1785, the Commonwealth reinstated the ship list requirement, but, of course, no more oaths of allegiance to the King of England or abjuration of foreign rulers and prelates were demanded.

 Footnotes for Volume 6 of Marx-Engels Collected Works
From 1815 to 1866 the central organ of the German Confederation was the Federal Diet consisting of representatives of the German states.
But it was certainly prior to 1876, as a copy presented by Marx to Natalia Utina, wife of N. Utin, a member of the Russian Section of the First International, on January 1, 1876 is extant in which almost all of these corrections and alterations are reproduced in an unknown hand.
The quotations cited in the original in German are either a free translation or paraphrase of writings by various economists and are taken by Marx, as a rule, from his notebooks of 1845-47.

Of all the invaders who competed for the last remains of the Roman Empire they alone pursued such studies; while the Germanic hordes, glorying in their brutality and ignorance, took a thousand years to re-unite the broken chain of tradition, the Arabs accomplished this in less than a century.
A long list of other works which he translated is given by Steinschneider.[17a] It is not unlikely that Arabic medicine had already found its way to Salernum before the time of Constantine, but the influence of his translations upon the later Middle Ages was very great.

 Guide and Index to Lists of Rulers
One motivation is that history is often not taught anymore in terms of dynasties and rulers, since this is thought (by an academic elite comfortably supported by the taxpayers) to be too elitist and too removed from the life of the people.
A skeleton for history of rulers, with maps and genealogies, provides a perspective of time and space, and on real individuals whom we know about, that is otherwise hard to obtain.
The arrangement of these lists thus follows Bryce's principle of universalist ideology, centering on Rome but extending to similar to ideas outside of the Roman world.

 The Poor Palatines by Gene Garman
Most German immigrants were poor, and families were often broken up by purchasers of their indentures.
In German history, the Palatinate included those lands which were governed by a "count palatine--a title held by a leading secular prince of the Holy Roman Empire."2 Boundaries of the Palatinate varied depending on the political powers and military successes or defeats of its rulers.
The Germanic area of Central Europe in the year 1700 was a patchwork of some three hundred loosely organized sovereign territories wherein the delusionary concept of the divine right of kings was accepted, rulers reigned supreme within their own borders, and an emperor prevailed overall.

 Turkish Navy, World War 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
By then the only modern additions to the Turkish Navy were the German battlecruiser 'Goeben' and light cruiser 'Breslau', which having escaped from the British Navy in August 1914, were nominally transferred to Turkey although largely retaining their German crews.
After the two German ships met up, 'Goeben' continued on to the Bosphorus, where she was mined in the afternoon.
With the 'Goeben' largely out of action for the rest of the war, the German Mediterranean Division ceased to exist, but she survived as the Turkish 'Yawuz' until well after the end of World War 2.

Very soon it became evident that the revolutionary movements in each country had so much on their own hands, were exposed to such local persecutions, that there was no occasion to complicate matters by entertaining unnecessary international relations and the bureau may have had little work to do, if anything.

King Alfred the Great strove hard to put things on a better footing, and, speaking generally, the devotion of secular rulers towards the papacy and the Church was never more conspicuous than at this period.
