Weimar ist nicht nur Schiller, Goethe und Bauhaus. Weimar ist auch nationalsozialistische Musterstadt. Wie kaum anderswo, sind hier die radikalen Umbaufantasien der Nazis verwirklicht worden. Bis heute prägen sie das Stadtbild und zeigen ein Weimar, in dem eine rassistische Ideologie den Alltag der Menschen bestimmte. Der Podcast fragt danach, wie die kleine Residenzstadt in Mittelthüringen von einem machthungrigen Gauleiter in ein NS-Machtzentrum verwandelt werden konnte. Er trifft Menschen ...
That thing that happens where something's in your head, and you start seeing and hearing it everywhere. Every time I read the news, turn on the radio, someone is telling me that we are living in days like the end of the Weimar Republic. I’m not sure about that, but I thought it might be worth an episode. I take a look at the first 100 or so days of…
Today I’m interviewing Daniel Brook, the author of a new book on the pioneering sexual rights activist Magnus Hirschfeld, whose Berlin Institute of Sexual Science was a huge attraction in Weimar Berlin and was eventually destroyed by the Nazis, and whose theories are so contemporary they could be taken directly from modern debates about gender, sex…
On 30 June 1937, Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister for Propaganda and Enlightenment, authorised the Director of the Reich Chamber for Culture, Adolf Ziegler, to select and confiscate paintings and sculptures from public collections for a major exhibition on 'degenerate art'. Ziegler said “What's been gathered together in [this] exhibition constit…

He was a prominent member of the Berlin Dada and New Objectivity groups during the Weimar Republic. He emigrated to the United States in 1933, and became a naturalized citizen in 1938. John Heartfield was a German visual artist wh…
“Berlin was in a state of civil war. Hate exploded suddenly, without warning, out of nowhere; at street corners, in restaurants, cinemas, dance halls, swimming-baths; at midnight, after breakfast, in the middle of the afternoon ... From 1929 to 1933, I lived almost continuously in Berlin, with only occasional visits to other parts of Germany and to…
On Oct 15th, 1923, Berlin resident Betty Scholem wrote to her son: “Conditions have taken a catastrophic turn here. This letter cost 15 million marks to send...and it will be 30 million beginning the day after tomorrow.” She estimated household expenses in the billions as the monthly rate of inflation approached 30,000 percent. In 1913, one US doll…
“Let us consciously be ‘imaginary architects’! We believe that only a total revolution can guide us in our task. Our fellow citizens, even our colleagues quite rightly suspect in us the forces of revolution. Break up and undermine all former principles. Horse Shit! And we the bud in fresh dung.” So, said Weimar architect Bruno Taut!! And his contem…

What do you get when you mix a bottle of Laphroaig Whiskey with three charming Weimar raconteurs? A freewheeling conversation that touches on the disturbing, occasionally hopeful, similarities of the Weimar period with our own days, the enduring importance and power of the poetry and plays of Bertolt Brecht, why New Orleans might be a last bastion …
Der Belgier Luc van Cantfort war auf der Suche nach den Spuren seines Vaters schon unzählige Male in Weimar.

Chef-Organisator der Zwangsarbeit war der Thüringer Gauleiter Fritz Sau…
Gemeinsam mit ihrem Lebensgefährten Jens Nielsen erforscht Kirsten Freienstein die Vergangenheit ihres Großvaters, der während des Nationalsozialismus das Gesundheitsamt in Weimar leitete. Kann es sein, dass er einfach nur ein guter Arzt war, wie in der Familie immer wieder behauptet wird? Die Akten im Thüringer Hauptstaatsarchiv erzählen eine ande…
Im Schatten einer alten Windmühle, hoch über Weimar, befindet sich eine auffällige, palastartige Villa. Hier residierte während des sogenannten Dritten Reichs Fritz Sauckel, eine Schlüsselfigur des NS-Staates. Der glühende Nationalsozialist und Hitler-Verehrer baute in den 20er Jahren die NSDAP in Thüringen auf. Als Gauleiter ließ er später Weimar …
Many years ago, I started my musical career singing, or maybe I should say screaming, with a Punk band, then eventually, through some very complicated in-between steps, I ended singing Opera, then on to musical theatre, then swinging it with jazz groups, and nowadays, mostly, I’m singing my own original songs. However through all of that, I've been…
On October 29th, 1918, only a few days before the official end of WW1, in Kiel, a naval port on Germany’s northern coast, sailors in the German Imperial Navy staged a mutiny that would spark revolutions across Germany, would lead to the formation of a new state with a constitution recognizing radical new human rights, and ultimately would lead to t…
We’re going to leap into some of the fun, crazy and sometimes completely mad of the Weimar days, i.e. the wild sexual revolution that appeared in in Berlin and to a lesser degree across Germany. My big idea for this episode is that in Post-WW1 Germany, people had seen so much death, they searched for life through sex and rejoicing in their bodies. …
In this first episode we'll take a quick overview of birth, brief life and death of the Weimar Republic and ask the big, big question: 'Why care about a failed European state that only lasted 14 years and was a hot mess from the start'.저자 Bremner Fletcher Duthie
