The flag question

Contains:Reminder Report, o.D. (probably written after No. 130, about Sept. 1934): The proverbial disunity of the Germans after the annihilation of the state order in 1918 prevented a joint effort from being made to eliminate chaos. Although the monarchy was completely excluded in view of the development of things and the people had unequivocally given their opinion in free elections to the National Convention, many were not satisfied with the fact that a people's regime could not be circumvented. Even more than the RV, the national colours were mocked. It was overlooked that black-red-gold was especially appreciated in Austria: They so11t be the colors under which the great German state expected with longing grows and blossoms so11te (p. 1). Trimborn had been guided by these thoughts when choosing the colours. Marx experienced in 1926 in Vienna how the Christian Social Party got into a flurry of excitement when the Reichsbanner with the flag took part in a parade of the SPO. The RP decree of 5 May 1926 on the introduction of the merchant flag next to the Reich flag at Reich authorities overseas created an unexpectedly large opposition in the RT (p. 2). A letter from the RP on May 9 and Luther's speech on May 11 could not dampen the excitement, and Luther fell. I had to take over the inheritance. In a special way, my statement that I would execute the decree of 5.5. did not arouse any particular contradiction. Moreover, the Cabinet's reasons for adopting the flag were so convincing that, if I am not very mistaken, the Regulation was approved unanimously. On August 15, 1921, a decree of the Reichswehr Minister concerning the flagging of service buildings and the private dwellings of Wehrmacht members caused contradiction on the right and blame on the left over the grounds (p. 3). In the introduction of an imperial war flag one even wanted to recognize a violation of the constitution. After on 20.5.21 the Prussia. After the Higher Administrative Court had declared the municipal service buildings to be flagged for a self-administration matter, Preuß issued an order on 1 August 21. Reg. an - in its legal validity to be denied - emergency regulation in this question. The fight came to life once again when Min.-President Braun had those hotels boycotted which - like Adlon in particular - did not show the imperial flag on official occasions. The Berliner Hotels association then gave in. By a decree of act. 1927 the prussian government became the prussian government. Officials are only allowed to attend events if the Reich flag has been given the necessary honor. Lord Mayor Adenauer and Reg. Vice President v. Harnack had dignifiedly enforced the respect for the imperial flag in the Gürzenich at an event of the German Warfare Community in Cologne on 12.1.21 (p.4). The honouring of the imperial colours was in no way an affront or a defamation of the old signs; it is a national duty to honour the new and to respect the old. Before foreigners, Marx was often ashamed of the right-wing circles' abuse of the Empire's colours: "And in doing so, the circles that deserved the epithet "nnational" in particular wanted to be! The international Z has here always better understood what genuine national dignity and duty is!41/2 p., Masch.-Erstschrift.o.

Schmitz-Albrecht, Family

Description: In this find book all documents are listed, which I considered important for the history of my family. They cover the period from about 1849 to the mid-60s of the 20th century and end with the death of my father on January 22, 1966. When I began reviewing the extensive records, I had no idea how exciting exploring the history of my own family would be for me. The fact that my two grandfathers were already "eager to travel (my mother's father with the Imperial Navy from 1901-1903 in East Asia and in World War I on the armoured cruiser Goeben in the Mediterranean and in the Bosporus, my father's father travelled a lot professionally and for some time even lived with his family in Brussels) makes research even more interesting. I consider my father's diary notes and hundreds of related negatives from the Second World War to be particularly valuable. The Leica, with which my father had also photographed in Cologne since 1931, accompanied him throughout the war. The photographs are in a separate list as part of the "FamilieBilder" collection. The archive material is stored in six archive cartons and is kept in my parents' house in Cologne-Dellbrück until it is handed over to the Historical Archive of the City of Cologne.Archival documents, which are stored because of their size in a large-format cardboard box or at another place, are likewise particularly marked.contents of the archival cartons:Carton 1: D001 - D124Carton 2: D125 - D206Carton 3: D207 - D406Carton 4: D407 - D422Carton 5: D423 - D451Carton 6: D452 - D524Cologne, in March 2007Horst SchmitzUnorderable until: 2050

VDA Regional Association to the Rector of Würzburg University, Prof. Ruland, on 26 April. Marx may procure the necessary documents for an answer to this and may forward these also to Gen. vicar Budlberger Munich. Gez. Signature.1 S., mach.-typewritten copy.1923 April 26 - Munich: The Bavarian Association of the VDA refers Prof. Dr. Ludwig Ruland-Würzburg, who helped the speaker of the association Hlawna in 1921 and who was himself active for the association, to the Würzburg Diocesan Gazette 14, where he refers to the Collection of the Diocesan Documents of the Würzburg Diocese. The VDA is not only aware of the 'faith and folklore', but at the same time reproaches are made against the VDA. Our point of view towards these accusations is that we are very pleased when other sides also work for the common cause of the German nation abroad. We believe, however, that the best service to this cause will be rendered if the individual associations do not fight each other, but walk quietly side by side. Ruland may the Würzburg Ordinariat point out to the religious neutrality of the association. Gen. vicar Buchberger did not approve of the attacks on the VDA and did not have them printed in the Munich Diözesanblatt. The VDA has been collecting particularly enthusiastically for 2 years; the local groups have risen from 29 to 160 and the number of members from 2300 to 31 000; 30000 pupils have been registered. Card. v. Paulhaber has supported interdenominational charity events that include the protestant. The Church President advocated the necessity of a union of the Christian denominations for charitable purposes. The VDA was founded in 1881 by the Kuraten v. Proweis on the Nonsberge Pranz X. Mitterer and was already co-led 2 decades ago by Prälat Werthmann. Cardinal Schulte, Bishop Berning and Vicar Gen. Buchberger, President Kreutz and P. Sonnenschein are members of the main committee of the VDA. The cath. influence at the VDA (is therefore) very big, especially since no prominent representative of protestant. clubs is represented in the same. The majority of the foreign Germans in Bukovina, Bessarabia, Bohemia, Moravia, South Tyrol, Northern Hungary are Catholics, and these areas are mainly Protestant. Saxony and Thuringia. It would therefore be a great damage for the Catholic cause if our association were to be blown up by the foreign donation of German Catholics to create its own protestant. I would be called to task. A number of Catholic elementary schools received grants from the VDA and a not insignificant number of clergymen received allowances on their salaries; study grants went to boy seminarians, theology and school office candidates in South Tyrol. The state association of Bavaria has burdened itself with 18 million RM in debt through the procurement of kath' prayer books. In view of Mussolini's ruthless approach in South Tyrol, where German is spoken by Italy. If the individual associations have been replaced by clergy and many only German-speaking inhabitants of the congregations have to do without sermon and confession, they should not fight each other but work side by side for the same goal.

They complain and deny that the Catholic interests have been "unequally and unwillingly treated" by the VDA. Marx knows about the old accusation that the VDA favors the Sim(ultan)-8chulen. Kreutz may be helpful with documents that make a special S1g. of Catholics appear justified.1 S., copy of Masch.-Schreiben, without certification. In the bill: Simoniten-Schulen.1923 May 22 - Freiburg: Kreutz means to Marx that from the advertising letter for 'Faith and Volkstum' perhaps an accusation against the VDA can be presumed. An objection has been raised from Munich against a corresponding announcement in the Passauer Verordnungsblatt. In the 4 years of board membership Kreutz had no reason to complain about imparity, but could only attend board meetings regularly while he was living in Berlin. In 1920 and 1921, respectively, Cardinal Schulte and Bishop Berning were elected to the committee with great pleasure; the latter currently participates in the VDA's genealogical slurry in Hamburg. In recent years, the VDA's head office has probably been far away from a tendentious management. The spirit in the rather independent regional associations depended on the influence of the Catholic members. Admittedly, Catholics used to be indifferent to the association and left foreign schools to it. That any clergymen became active is therefore not to be reproached to them. That from that side, in the spirit of Hakatism, German was perhaps often confused with Protestant, we have already experienced elsewhere with the possible clergy. In an interview on 1. and 2. 5. Admiral Seebohm recognized for the central management of the VDA the right of its own cath. 81g. There won't be much penetrating material to gather for full evidence. The VDA has long replaced the leaders of the pre-war era. Kreutz it is inexplicable that as the oldest Catholic board member in the VDA he was not informed of the 81g plan. In the RT he tried to reach Marx in vain. P. Sonnenschein has travelled to Italy and has independently regulated his deputy in the RKA without the board. It would have been better if this association had made the 81g. with an extended action committee. Eh. Signature.21/2 p., masch.-schriftl. Ausf., Kopfbogen 'Der Präs. d. Dt.

Despite his eager efforts, he was unable to gain any insight into the management of the company. He suspected behind it intention, particularly since he was not able to increase the number of the catholic board membersj of 20 board members 2 are catholic; of it prelate Kreutz can hardly become active because of his Freiburg residence. The VDA has asked a board member of the Slg. to provide accounting evidence that the Catholics have been duly taken into account in the distribution of support. The Ordinariates may therefore inform the complainants that the negotiations between the VDA and the Slgs management had led to the expectation of a clarification.11/2 p., copy of Masch.-Schreiben, without certification.(192)3 May 30: Marx writes to Gen.-Vikar Buchberger that the Landesverband Bayern of the VDA is in agreement on the Slg. "For faith and folklore. In recommendations of ordinariates, reference has been made to the unparity of authority of Catholics by the VDA. Marx wants it to appear that the VDA in Bavaria is taking a different path than the Prussian. In any case, before the war, the VDA preferred only the simultaneous school abroad; he was also a leader in the Los von Rome movement. It may not have been the fault of our side that we did not participate enough in the efforts of the association and tried to keep influence on the management. That has undoubtedly changed in recent years. Marx would like a judgment on the attitude of the Landesverband Bayern.P/, S., copy of Masch.-Schreiben, without certification.1923 June 4 - Munich: Buchberger to Marx: "I am very happy to be able to talk to you about caring for foreign dentists. I am a co-founder of the RKA myself. Occasionally, when this association was founded, the president of the VDA came to me and reproached me for having founded a competition. I have very seriously discussed my reasons for this with him, namely the role the club played in the Los-von-Rom movement and in the equation of German and Protestant. The situation has changed since then. In spite of all attempts - so still with the last Katholikentag - the catholic organization does not want to win right strength and life and influence for the care for the foreign Dt. Only a few weeks after the foundation of our association for Catholics abroad, the war took away the soul of Count Preysing, who was killed in Frkr. He did not receive a successor who would have time and sense for the work of the association. On the other hand, at the head of the Bavarian regional association of the VDA, there is a good Catholic who not only takes care of his association, but would also fulfill every wish for me. I have therefore had no reservations about joining the VDA myself under the changed circumstances at the request of Prof. Dr. Deuerling. As the situation in Bavaria is, there really would be no reason to take a stand against the VDA in any way; one can regret that this happened without first examining the situation more closely.

Only the prelates Werthmann and Kreutz were able to gain an insight into the VDA's business practices. In the future the cath. interests will be probably better considered there. The VDA has offered to provide proof of sufficient consideration of Catholic interests. From time to time Marx would like to recognize Prof. Deuerling for the achievements of the bayer, VDA. On the Catholic side, everything must be done to be present in the large organizations; in the past, it was probably not always ridiculous in this respect. Much of what is lamented on our part may not have been brought about by ourselves through the development of things without our fault.11/% S., copy of Masch.-Schreiben, without certification.1923 July 9 - Munich: The Bavarian Association of the VDA writes to the Ordinariate in Passau that it is the high kirdll. The body which sent the note complained of has become known in the meantime. Like the Passau Ordinariate, the office repeated the indications of 'faith and folklore' without its own knowledge of the facts in good faith. These have not yet been proven. The VDA, however, has endeavoured to clarify the error in good faith. Among the misleaders are persons who have a precise insight into the activities of the VDA's Board of Directors. The bavarian. Landesverband works almost exclusively for the Catholic Germans abroad; he feels badly damaged by the note spread by the Ordinariates. In the negotiations between VDA and 'faith and folklore' nothing will come out, since the latter is to be denied serious will, 'faith' where they have a young settlement, 3 years ago a benevolent consul v.

His administration is lamented by the Catholic Germans as lacking understanding. When an elderly German woman in Turin went insane, Neumayer said to the sisters, "Take this person into your house, put a nun's cap on him, and let this person work for you".

Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum

I. Introduction1) On the history of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-MuseumWilhelm Joest was born in Cologne on 15 March 1852 as the son of the merchant Eduard Joest. After studying natural sciences in Bonn, Heidelberg and Berlin, he travelled to Africa, America and the South Seas. When he died on 25.11.1897 on the island of Ureparapara in the South Seas, he left behind an ethnographic collection comprising about 3,400 list numbers. This collection, which formed the basis of the museum, was accepted by the City Council on 16 February 1899 as a gift from the married couple Eugen Rautenstrauch and Adele Rautenstrauch at Joest, - she was Wilhelm Joest's sister - for the Natural History Museum. After the death of Eugen Rautenstrauch on 18.5.1900, Adele Rautenstrauch donated 250,000 Marks to the City of Cologne for the construction of a museum and another 25,000 Marks for the appointment of a museum director. The city council adopted these foundations on 9.8.1900. After the death of Adele Rautenstrauch on 30.12.1903, her heirs increased the building capital for the museum by 180,000 Marks. This donation was subject to the condition that the respective head of the Rautenstrauch family or, in his absence, another member of the Rautenstrauch family to be presented to the city by the family should have a seat and vote in the municipal commission of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum. The city council assembly accepted this foundation on 13.5.1904. Joest's collections found their first accommodation in the Bayenturm in 1901. The office was located in a neighbouring harbour building. Later, parts of the collections, which had increased considerably in the meantime due to other donations, as well as the office had to be moved to the old Quatermarktschule. The collections, however, gained such a size in the following years through further donations that the space was soon no longer sufficient here either. This is why the completion of the museum building in 1906, which was begun according to the designs of architect Edwin Crones in the spring of 1904, came just in time. The ceremonial inauguration took place on November 12 of the same year, 1918, when the English occupying forces settled in the building of the State United Mechanical Engineering School Cologne, Ubierring 48. As a result, the mechanical engineering school was relocated to the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum for a short time in 1919. A "quartering", which should last longer, took place by the opening of the Kammerspiele on 24.10.1948. The Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum survived the bombing raids during the Second World War quite lightly, because only the north wing and the rear wing had been destroyed by bomb hits. After provisional repairs after the end of the war (Kammerspiele), the final reconstruction of the destroyed parts began in the spring of 1963. The completion of the shell of the north wing took place in 1964. From 1965 onwards, the museum was closed due to the construction work both in the old building and on the new part until its ceremonial opening on the 7th of July.Since the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum was more dependent on private than public aid at the time of its foundation, the Verein zur Förderung des Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museums was founded on 17.5.1904 on the initiative of Adele Rautenstrauch's heirs. On 28.2.1951 the association was renamed "Gesellschaft für Völkerkunde" (Society for Ethnology). 1909 saw the first publication of its own series, the "Ethnologica", on behalf of the Society for the Promotion of the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum. The respective director of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum acts as editor on behalf of the Association or the Society for Ethnology.2List of museum directors with terms of office - Willi Foy ( 27.11.1873, † 01.03.1929)01.10.1901 - 1925- Fritz Graebner ( 04.04.1877, † 13.07.1934)1925 - 1928- Julius Lips ( 08.09.1895, † 21.01.)1950)1928 - April 1933- Andreas Scheller 1933 - June 1940 ( 08.05.1894, † 25.3.1977 in Schwalmstadt-Ziegenhain)(provisional director (dismissed from the service of the City of Cologne on 31.12.1940)- Martin Heydrich ( 29.12.1889, † 08.02.1969)1.

Guide to the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum. (Museum für Völkerkunde der Stadt Cöln.) Köln, 1908.Verwaltungsberichte der Stadt Köln.4. Aktenübernahme und OrdnungverfahrenThe files of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum reached the archive under Accession 404 on 05.04.1976 with a three-page delivery list The delivery list describes only summarily the subject of the files packed in 11 cartons. After completion of the indexing work and the structuring in January 1984, 108 volumes of files were still found in the heating cellar of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum. This delivery came on 22.02.1984 in the Archivon it received no own Accessionsnummer, but was immediately registered and into the structure already provided worked in. The files date back to the period between 1901 and 1971, with the bulk of the archival material originating between 1950 and 1970. Martin Heydrich's hand-files had been mixed with the "General Correspondence". In July 1940 Heydrich was appointed full professor for the newly established chair of ethnology at the University of Cologne. He also took over the management of the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum. These Handakten essentially refer to his activities as Ordinarius for Ethnology and as editor of the journal "Ethnologischer Anzeiger". The reference files were extracted from the "General Correspondence" and placed as a separate group at the end of the index under the number L.Under the "General Correspondence, Series" there is also correspondence relating to the purchase, exchange and donation of ethnographics and literature, as well as vice versa correspondence of general content in the purchase and exchange files. After the removal from the Leitz files and the removal of metal parts, the files were listed according to numerus currens. The filing within the correspondent series with museums, institutes and scientific societies was quite arbitrary. Within a volume, correspondence is filed under the location of the institute or society as well as under the name of the institute. 614 boxes comprise 37 boxes. 13 m; 655 files.
