	Weimar culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Weimar Republic refers to the years (1919-1933) in German history.
		Politically and economically, the nation struggled with the harsh terms and reparations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles (1918) that ended World War I, and endured punishing levels of inflation.
		Weimar culture is too rich and complex to intelligently generalize about.

	Weimar Era Introduction
		One camp of counselors contends that "Weimar Republic" is a revisionist term popularized by historians and journalists trapped in the acrid psychic fallout of World War II's immediate aftermath.
		"Weimar is considered the capital of classical German culture," Terrence Petty of The Associated Press wrote (September 19, 2004, in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette).
		Crowds of Weimar citizens would congregate beneath the balcony of Hitler's room, shouting: 'Dear Fuehrer, come on out, come on out of the Elephant House.' The Nazi leader obliged, to the cheers of his admirers.

	Weimar in America
		That Weimar culture obeyed this law is recognized even by its most admiring historians; as Peter Gay has observed, the excitement of Weimar was in large measure the product of "anxiety, fear, [and] a rising sense of doom" (not exactly the sentiments one discovers in Pericles' funeral oration).
		Indeed, the very word Weimar called forth a procession of tragic associations, for it stood for the intellectual heritage of Geoethem, that exemplar of the German liberal Zivilisation that had repeatedly been demonstrated to be the most fragile of reeds.
		Weimar Germany was consumed with a "hunger for wholeness," in Peer Gay's words, a hunger that accounts for the desperate attraction of radical ideas--whether the example of the Soviet Union's "new society," or the prospect of a purified Teutonic Kultur.

		The Weimar era was a very important point of growth for the theatre and one of the leading men in this era was Bertolt Brecht.
		This is like the Weimar era in that 17000 works were burnt in a fire and countless others were destroyed and it was all so that the N party could maintain a the control and power they were obsessed with.
		One event of the Weimar era discussed in lecture, which I found particularly interesting, was the Degenerate Art exhibit, which opened July 19th 1937 in Munich.

	The Weimar Republic, 1918-33: German History
		The Weimar Republic, proclaimed on November 9, 1918, was born in the throes of military defeat and social revolution.
		The government, composed of members from the assembly, came to be called the Weimar coalition and included the SPD; the German Democratic Party (Deutsche Demokratische Partei--DDP), a descendant of the Progressive Party of the prewar period; and the Center Party.
		In mid-1919 the assembly ratified the constitution of the new Weimar Republic, so named because its constitution was drafted in the small city where the poets Goethe and Schiller had lived.

	Winning Women's Votes: Propaganda and Politics in Weimar Germany, by Julia Sneeringer. Introduction. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Throughout Weimar women categorically rejected the KPD, despite (or perhaps because of) its argument that gender equality was a central part of its larger revolutionary agenda.
		During Weimar such tactics increased the special-interest nature of politics, promoted negative campaigning and infighting, and thwarted the formation of stable governments (there were eighteen cabinet changes between February 1919 and January 1933).
		Ironically the turmoil of Weimar itself muddled any attempt to neaten gender boundaries, propelling the parties into a contradictory cycle of trying to stabilize identities for their political purposes and, at the same time, reshape them in the context of a rapidly changing political climate.

		Weimar's fragile attempt at democracy, he contends, was destroyed by a steady retreat from political compromise and by a continuous shrinking of the material and economic base, which prevented the liberal government, with its welfare structure, from gaining real legitimacy in the eyes of the German people.
		Interpreting Weimar as a brief, headlong tour of the fateful choices made possible by the modern world, this rigorous history explores the paradox of a society that spawned avant-garde cultural breakthroughs amid bleak poverty and political breakdown.
		While not arguing that the Weimar experiment in democracy was doomed to fail, Peukert (Inside Nazi Germany, Yale, 1989) clearly suggests that a general "crisis of modernity" rendered a happy outcome most unlikely.

		The Bauhaus was largely subsidized by the early Weimar Republic.

	Flak Magazine: Review of Voluptuous Panic, 01-08-01
		Ask most people what they know of Weimar Berlin culture, and they're likely to respond with films — Cabaret and Sally Bowles, The Blue Angel and Marlene Dietrich — films that, for all their fictionalizing, are some of the only reminders of a very hedonistic time and place.
		Indeed, the point of "Voluptuous Panic" is supposed to be that for all the decadence and depravity of Weimar Berlin, it was not the larger public's disgust with it all that brought the Nazis to power, but rather a combination of economic and political factors.
		Nevertheless, the book itself is important as an historical document — in an era where politicians and pundits worry that Britney's excessively exposed tummy is turning our children to sin, these images put it all into perspective.

		This book contains English translations of the actual regulations issued by the German authorities from the Imperial and Weimar eras, and is an invaluable source of information about the often obscure markings found on German weapons and equipment until 1937, when unit marking of materiel was officially discontinued.
		Unit marks were applied to many kinds of German military and police equipment during the Imperial and Weimar eras.
		The German state depended on the stabilizing influence of its police during the violence and disorder of the Weimar period and evaded restrictions placed on them.

	Spring 2000 Book Reviews
		While the bookís new historicist approach expands the theoretical framework of previous feminist discussions of gender and the Weimar era, inversely its feminist approach questions the inapplicable or incomplete accounts of Weimar modernity offered by previous new historicist studies that have predominantly explored the experience of the Weimar era from a male vantage point.
		This structure provides a clear, general survey of the social issues at the forefront of the different periods and their effect on the themes and issues as presented in womenís literature, as well as focusing further on these themes as seen in an individual authorís works.
		The chapters on womenís writing in the FRG from 1945-1980, in the GDR from 1945-1989, and in Austria are particularly focused in their examination of both the cultural situations present in each country and era and its reflection in the works of womenís writing.

	German movie depictions of boys clothing : Weimar Republic
		The Weimar Republic was born after Germany's disastrous defeat in World War I. In the subsequent political upheaval, the Weimar Republic existed as an "amazingly violent, unbridled, often exuberant, often full of strange and clumsy poetry, regularly very hungry and very sad, with touches of high lunacy and crankishness" period of democracy in German history.
		These extreme characteristics of the Weimar Republic were the result of a lack of political unity and direction on the part of the German people.
		The NAZI films used many of the technical features of Weimar filmakers, in fact many of the same individuals were were not Jewish or did not have strong political objections, continued to work in the industry.

	German Unemployment Highest Since Weimar Era
		The 500,000-plus unemployed on state-run retraining schemes come on top of about 800,000 jobless Germans on social security who have officially dropped out of the labour market, and tens of thousands of older workers who have been given early retirement.
		Because none of these groups features in the monthly unemployment record, the true number of German jobless has been estimated as nudging 15 per cent or six million people - the "nightmare" figure associated with the country's pre-Nazi Weimar era of the 1920s and early 1930s.
		Government massaging of unemployment statistics has become a permanent feature in Germany, but it is the first time that the labour office has admitted the real figure.

		In fondo, la neonata Germania repubblicana era riuscita a tener testa agli scioperi, ai putsch e ai tentativi rivoluzionari vissuti nei suoi primi turbinosi anni di vita.
		Certo, per i suoi elettori Hindenburg era il conservatore che più conservatore non si può, il militare che da ufficiale a comandante supremo dell'esercito aveva incarnato la storia del secondo Reich, insomma il monarchico nostalgico dell'impero che avrebbe restituito fasto e grandezza alla Germania.
		Nel 1932 la produzione industriale era ormai diminuita del 50 per cento rispetto a quella del 1929, mentre la disoccupazione passò nello stesso periodo da un milione e mezzo a sei milioni.

	The Blue Angel
		The crowning achievement of the Weimar cinema, The Blue Angel is an exquisite parable of one man's fall from respectability, presented in both the newly-restored German and English-language versions.
		To view the film in the context of the era in which it was made ~ a time portending many social and moralistic upheavals ~ makes for some interesting discussion.
		As with much of the art of this era (in Germany and without), this film depicts the clash of the old world and the new -- the modern, open, crass, liberating and chaotic world of the individual against the older, stable, stifling, communal and "moral" world of the village and church.

		Kurt Severing, a journalist, and Marthe Muller, an art student, are the central figures in a broad cast of characters intertwined with the historical events unfolding around them.
		The first in a project trilogy, Lutes' fictional attempt to recreate the confusing period of the tail-end of the Weimar Republic in Germany rambles and doubles back just a bit to much to satisfy.
