Hometown Hamburg

Artisans and the Political Struggle for Social Order in the Weimar Republic

About this book

Through the study of Hamburg handicraft in the late Weimar Republic "Hometown Hamburg" addresses three intertwined problems in modern German history: the role of institutionalized social, political and cultural continuity versus contingency in the course of modern German development; the impact of conflicting notions of social order on the survival of liberal democracy; and the role of corporate politics in the rise of National Socialism. It provides a theoretical and analytical framework for reintroducing the notion of historical continuity in the study of modern German history. The book also supports the recent challenges to the notion of Hamburg as a liberal economic and political bastion, a "London on the Elbe, " in a nation of conservative and authoritarian governmental regimes. Hometown Hamburg demonstrates why "liberal" and "socialist" Hamburg also remained a hotbed of corporate radicalism and underscores the fact that National Socialism was the only political party that presented a coherent vision of a corporate "good society, " thereby making it attractive to hometown voters across the entire social spectrum in Hamburg (and in Germany).
