The project focuses on the significance of landscape for social history in high modernity. The concept of imaginary landscapes refers to the interplay of the perception of landscape, its medial representation and its physical transformation. The subproject "Landscapes in Motion" illuminates this interrelationship in an inter-systemic comparison of U.S. and German history between the 1920s and 1950s. It explores a quite distinct dimension of this process, tying in with the history of mobility. At issue is the duality of motoring and hiking, of road and wilderness landscapes, for which the United States, with parkway construction and frontier obsession, and the German Reich, with its myths of the Reichsautobahn and "Wanderlust," have proven to be the sites of study par excellence. Motorists and hikers fought over the "right" forms of movement and the "right" nature of the landscapes required for them; the successful symbiosis of nature and technology contrasted with the temporary exit from industrial society into pre-modern, "naturally grown" spaces. They simultaneously fought over cultural chapter, gender roles, forms of subjectivation, and the state of the state, population, and culture as a whole. Yet both sides were responding to the same challenges of the Second Industrialization. They were concerned with the material design of timeless ideal landscapes that supposedly corresponded to the national essence. In addition to landscape architecture in general, the construction of (long-distance) hiking trails, Autobahnen/Parkways, and panoramic roads played a decisive role here. The subproject will shed comparative light on this connection between materiality and discourse.

该项目关注的是高度现代性中景观对社会历史的意义。想象景观的概念是指对景观的感知、景观的媒介表征和景观的物理转化三者之间的相互作用。子项目“动态景观”通过对20世纪20年代至50年代美国和德国历史的系统间比较，阐明了这种相互关系。它探索了这个过程的一个非常独特的维度，与流动性的历史联系在一起。争论的焦点是驾车和徒步旅行的两重性，公路和荒野景观的两重性，在这方面，美国有着公园公路的建设和对边疆的痴迷，而德国帝国则有着帝国高速公路和“漫游癖”的神话，这两个国家已经被证明是研究的最佳地点。驾车者和徒步旅行者为“正确”的运动形式和“正确”的自然景观而争执不休；自然与技术的成功共生与从工业社会暂时退出到前现代的“自然生长”空间形成对比。他们同时就文化篇章、性别角色、主体化形式、国家状态、人口和文化作为一个整体进行斗争。然而，双方都在应对第二次工业化的同样挑战。他们关注的是永恒的理想景观的材料设计，这些景观应该符合民族的本质。除了一般的景观建筑外，（长途）徒步旅行路线、高速公路/公园道路和全景道路的建设在这里发挥了决定性的作用。子项目将对物质性和话语之间的这种联系进行比较。
