Germany, Justice, Persecution 1871 - 1933
50 titles, with contents originally written in the 19th and early 20th Century
Introduction: In this page the English texts are for reference; most of the titles mentioned here are in German. Foreign titles appear in German translations. Bibliographic Records follow international University Library Standards, with titles and related data elements primarily in German. Texts and information are typically presented in their original language as per standard practice.
On this page we have organised our titles under two topics: titles related to Sozialistengesetz (1878 – 1890) and titles related to Nationalsozialismus.
The foundation of the ‘second Reich’ on – let’s say – 18th January 1871 was an unification of independent German States, such a Baden, Bavaria, Prussia, Hannover, Wuertemberg etc., under the ‘leadership’ of PRUSSIA with its Capital Berlin. Including the self-proclamation of the Prussian King Wilhelm as German Emperor (‘Deutscher Kaiser’) on January 18, 1871, in the Palace of Versailles.
After that date the Prussian / German ‘Reich’s Chancellor’ Otto von Bismarck, became the strong man in this new founded Germany. And the remaining ‘power’ of the formerly independent states in Germany (some are itemized above) was henceforth limited.
Bismarck’s entire approach to this German unification was based on a breach of the Prussian constitution (H. A. Winkler, Wie wir wurden, was wir sind, Munich, 2020, p. 43). In other words, it was a political ‘coup’ of the Politicians.
It is therefore not surprising that seven years after this spectacle in Versailles, judicial ‘interventions’ in the still young German state occurred, known as the ‘Socialist Law,’ which between 1878 and 1890 led to persecutions etc.
We want to introduce here also an older title, regarding some ‘issues’ in Juli 1838:
Wagemann, Frhr von,
