In historiography, landscapes are frequently considered in terms of mastering nature or as some sort of spatial container, within which a specific Economic- or Social-History takes place. Disregarding the visual turn, many historians consider perceptions as subjective and distortive. In cultural studies, on the other hand, the reality of landscapes is sometimes not accounted for and they are almost exclusively considered in terms of their cultural construction. In order to neither measure perceptions according to a reality nor to consider this reality as a mere deduction of imaginations, it is, thus, necessary to relate the material reality of landscapes as well as processes of perception and representations of landscapes to each other. The project wants to show two things: a) that imagination, image and reality are interwoven in complex ways, and b) which relevance this has for a History of Society of the 19th and 20th century, by investigating the question of a politicization of landscapes. For this purpose, the term of imaginary landscapes will be introduced. This term is intended to serve as a means to analyze the perception of landscapes in the form of imaginations and to show that these landscapes are characterized by a certain image, which developed in a long, assembling process of projections. This image in turn could become, realized materially in buildings, landscape modeling etc. Such (but not all) landscapes could serve as spaces for the development of social utopias, as lieu de memoire of a nations past, as alternative drafts for modern civilization or they could virtually naturalize a social or political order. These relations, however, are manifold; an imaginary landscape is never marked by one distinct relation between landscape, projection and design and yields in each case (political) effects. In the project, this will be investigated in a longitudinal perspective (approximately 1750 to the present) following the example of the Middle Rhine. It belongs to the German core-landscapes and it is, like no other river in Germany, loaded with myths and expectations. While stylized as a downright national actor between the end of the 18th century and 1945, a cultural landscape was modeled at the same time, which increasingly transformed from an artist-modeled romantic landscape of feelings to a (quotation) politically charged landscape of remembrance (eoq). In addition to that, the Middle Rhine became a tourist region, which is considered in Germany and beyond as a typically German landscape and which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002. However, in the 19th century the landscape also served as a projection screen for cultural pessimism in the light of modernity, namely in the dualistic perception of an intact and maimed landscape. Thus, there will be a rich material to exemplify the projects thesis.

在史学中，经常在掌握性质或某种空间容器中考虑景观，在这种空间容器中发生特定的经济或社会历史。许多历史学家无视视觉转弯时，将看法视为主观和扭曲。另一方面，在文化研究中，有时不考虑景观的现实，几乎完全考虑了它们的文化建设。为了既不根据现实来衡量感知，也不要将这种现实视为一种想象力的推论，因此，有必要将景观的物质现实以及感知的过程和景观的表现联系起来。该项目希望展示两件事：a）想象，形象和现实以复杂的方式交织在一起，而b）这与19世纪和20世纪社会历史相关，通过研究景观的政治化问题。为此，将引入虚构景观的术语。该术语旨在作为一种以想象形式分析景观感知的手段，并表明这些景观的特征是某个图像，该图像以长期的，较长的投影过程开发。反过来，这种形象可能会在建筑物，景观建模中实质上实现。这种（但并非全部）景观可以作为发展社会乌托邦的发展的空间，作为过去国家过去的回忆，作为现代文明的替代草稿，或者他们几乎可以自然化社会或政治秩序。但是，这些关系是多种多样的。在每种情况（政治）效果中，假想的景观永远不会以景观，投影和设计和产量之间的一个不同的关系标记。在该项目中，将以纵向的纵向观察（约1750年）进行研究。它属于德国核心地景观，就像德国其他河流一样，都充满了神话和期望。尽管在18世纪末至1945年之间被风格为彻头彻尾的民族演员，但同时仿照文化景观，越来越多地从艺术家模型的浪漫情感景观转变为（引用）政治带电的纪念景观（EOQ）。 In addition to that, the Middle Rhine became a tourist region, which is considered in Germany and beyond as a typically German landscape and which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002. However, in the 19th century the landscape also served as a projection screen for cultural pessimism in the light of modernity, namely in the dualistic perception of an intact and maimed landscape.因此，将有丰富的材料来体现这些项目论文。
