The Einheitslieder der deutschen Bistümer (1947) - from großdeutsch project to instrument of Integration after war and displacement

当《e -赞美诗》（Einheitslieder der deutschen bist<e:1> mer）于1947年作为正版出版时，它为德国天主教徒提供了74首赞美诗的通用标准正典。这是迈向德国天主教教区共同赞美诗的重要的第一步。1975年，它在标准的赞美诗《Gotteslob》中取得了成果。在20世纪初，德国各教区几乎没有任何共同的赞美诗传统，因为歌曲的保留曲目，他们的歌词和曲调差别很大。从20世纪30年代中期开始，由于大量的国内移民（帝国劳工服务，NS工业化项目等）以及战争形势（来自不同教区的士兵的实地服务），这种缺乏变得尤其成问题。围绕电子圣歌语料问题的讨论揭示了不同的观点：在礼仪更新之后的“青年合唱团”为更新会众歌曲而运动，而传统的声音则出于“实际的牧歌原因”选择了著名的歌曲。然而，另一些人则要求建立“德意志帝国”，以加强德国的民族认同。这种超教区赞美诗的批评者认为，对于会众赞美诗，天主教的身份具有高度区域化的性质，因此任何标准化的尝试都会产生负面影响。大约从1940年起，起草了各种建议。德国主教会议在富尔达采取了这个问题，并委托特里尔主教建立一个语料库的e -赞美诗。他把这项任务交给了一个专家委员会，该委员会由辅理主教梅茨罗斯召集，其中包括来自被吞并的奥地利的3名代表。早在1943年，该委员会就提出了一份赞美诗清单。1944年，这项工程因战争而中断。电子赞美诗在1947年得到了最终的批准。事实证明，它们是将天主教被驱逐者融入新教区的重要工具。该项目旨在展示e-赞美诗语库的起源，该版本基于召集人，辅助主教Metzroth（特里尔教区档案）的综合收集，以及来自进一步档案的材料，这些材料揭示了史前历史以及某些教区和专员的职位。此外，该版本考虑了当代杂志的贡献，将在一个全面的参考书目中列出。然后，重点将转向1947年电子赞美诗对1975年和2013年“Gotteslob”的接收历史和影响（公共部分和教区附录）。

When the “Einheitslieder der deutschen Bistümer” (E-hymns) were published as an authentic edition in 1947, it provided Germany's Catholics with a common standard canon of 74 hymns. This was a significant first step towards a common hymnal of the German Catholic dioceses. In 1975 it came to fruition in the standard hymnal “Gotteslob”. At the beginning of the 20th century, the German dioceses had hardly any shared tradition of hymns as the repertoire of songs, their lyrics and tunes differed enormously. This lack became especially problematic from the mid-1930s onwards due to significant internal migration (Reich Labor Service, NS industrialization projects, etc.) as well as the situation of war (field services of soldiers from different dioceses). Discussions surrounding the question of a corpus of E-hymns revealed different opinions: The “Jugendkreise” in the wake of the Liturgical Renewal campaigned for a renewal of congregational song whereas traditional voices opted for the well-known songs for “practical-pastoral reasons”. Others, however, demanded a “Reichsliederkanon” with a view to strengthening German national identity. Critics of such a supra-diocesan hymnal argued that regarding congregational hymns Catholic identity was of a highly regionalized nature and that therefore any attempts at standardizing would have a negative impact.From ca. 1940 onwards various suggestions were drafted. The German Bishops' Conference in Fulda took up the issue and commissioned the bishop of Trier to set up a corpus of E-hymns. He assigned this task to an expert commission, which was convened by the auxiliary bishop Metzroth, and included 3 delegates from annexed Austria. Already in 1943 this commission presented a list of hymns. In 1944 work on this project was interrupted by the war. The E-hymns were then definitively approved in 1947. They proved to be an important instrument to integrate the catholic expellees into their new dioceses.The project aims to a presentation of the genesis of the E-hymn corpus within an augmented source edition based on the comprehensive collection of the convener, auxiliary bishop Metzroth (diocesan archive of Trier) and material from further archives that reveals the pre-history as well as the positions of certain dioceses and commissioners. Furthermore, the edition considers contributions from contemporary magazines that will be listed in a comprehensive bibliography. The focus will then turn to the reception history and impact of the 1947 E-hymns on the “Gotteslob” of 1975 and 2013 (common part and diocesan appendices).
