Authors:Creber A. Pages: 149 - 171 Abstract: Around 1069 four elite German men—Henry IV of Germany, Rudolf of Rheinfelden, Eckbert of Brunswick and Welf IV of Bavaria—tried to dissolve their marriages to their respective wives: Bertha of Savoy, Adelaide of Savoy, Immilla of Turin and Ethelinde of Northeim. This article argues that these men reinforced each other’s decision to do so. It further argues that a key, but previously overlooked, aspect of these cases is that three of these women (Bertha, Adelaide and Immilla) were closely related to one another. The first section focuses narrowly on Henry IV’s attempt to repudiate his wife, Bertha, and the rich documentation this produced. Then Henry’s actions are compared and contrasted with the contemporaneous attempts of Rudolf, Eckbert, and Welf to end their own marriages. When viewed together, the attempted repudiations of Bertha, Adelaide and Immilla point to the declining significance of these kinswomen’s natal dynasty, led by Adelaide of Turin, and to the shifting political interests of Henry IV and other German nobles. Yet, partly due to the actions of Adelaide of Turin, it was hard for these men to ‘break up’ with their wives. In contrast to Ethelinde’s kin, who failed to prevent Welf from ending their marriage, Adelaide had sufficient political power to ensure that her daughters’ marriages were not dissolved.

Authors:Keller K. Pages: 172 - 185 Abstract: That queens and empresses were crowned in the Holy Roman Empire from the High Middle Ages on, beginning with Adelheid in 962, is well established. The how and when of such coronations and also their contexts have tended to be relegated, however, to the marginalia of both older and more recent investigations of the history of the early modern Empire. Neither the lately intensified research on the early modern Holy Roman Empire nor the research efforts of gender history have shown great interest in the six coronations of empresses in the Empire during the early modern period. This article draws our attention explicitly to such coronations during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, beginning with a brief description of the sequence of acts they comprised. The description illustrates that every coronation signified not just the sacralization of rule but also a ritual enactment of the gender hierarchy, a circumstance that has hitherto not been investigated by research on rituals of rule. The fact of this enactment is asserted in this article, as is the fact that it was a general characteristic of all European coronation rituals.

Authors:Mouton M. Pages: 186 - 204 Abstract: During the Second World War, the Nazis evacuated over two million children from war- torn cities through the Erweiterte Kinderlandverschickung program. The program's stated purpose was to provide children and youth with the nutrition and safety no longer available to them in big cities. But an arguably equally important goal was to separate children from their families in order to indoctrinate them and incorporate them into the Volksgemeinschaft. Suddenly every German family in a threatened city was confronted with the question of whether to allow children to be evacuated by the state. The EKLV thus became an arena for struggle between the Nazi state and German parents over children's experience. This study, by expanding the focus from the institutional level to children's experiences, provides a deeper understanding of how children experienced and Germans remember the EKLV. Using archival sources, memoirs, and interviews, this article examines how German children experienced the EKLV, how families negotiated the Nazi attempt to control their children's lives, and how the EKLV is remembered today. Unlike other studies, it examines children's experiences at the end of the war. It argues that the chaotic end of the EKLV and the creation of the collective memory of the Nazi era in Germany created circumstances distinct from the youth evacuations in Britain and France and that were central to German experience and memories of the EKLV.

Authors:Ault J. Pages: 205 - 226 Abstract: This article re-examines the place of the environment in the German Democratic Republic in the last decade and a half of its existence. It traces the Socialist Unity Party’s claims to protect the environment and asks how the state’s failure led to the rise of an ecological movement based in the Protestant Church, and, ultimately, how environmental principles expanded beyond the structures of the Church, while still retaining an important religious component. Previous scholarship has viewed the environment as an explicitly oppositional concern—typically focusing on East Berlin’s Environmental Library—that led directly to the autumn of 1989. In contrast, this article argues the environment drew support from many segments of East German society that interacted and overlapped over a longer period. Pollution affected everyone in the GDR, to varying degrees, and therefore resonated with a wide range of citizens. The environment complicated the relationship between state, society and opposition, breaking down traditional dichotomies while unifying many East Germans around a common concern.
