The aim of the project is the edition (including a commentary) of the complete diary of Dr. med. Alfred Haehner (1880-1949). Haehner was the personal physician of the German Emperor Wilhelm II and his wife Auguste Victoria in the early years of their exile in the Netherlands (1919-1924). In the context of the history of monarchy in exile and postwar times, the edition will contribute to the research on the Hohenzollern's antisemitism and their fight for the revocation of the Weimar Republic. As part of this history, it will stimulate the research on the Empress Auguste Victoria and the transnational and diplomatic relations between Germany and the Netherlands at the end of the First World War. Haehners diary, written in five smaller volumes, has survived the collapse of the Cologne Communal Archive in 2009. It is one of the rare eyewitness documents describing and commenting the Hohenzollern court in exile at Amerongen and Doorn. Vacillating between sympathy and critical distance, it provides an exceptional perspective on the German Imperial couple and their court in exile by a physician and catholic who intended to present his memories a wider public one day. Partly a word by word protocol, Haehner's diary documents the doctor's conversations with Wilhelm II, his wife, and other the royal family members (for example crown prince Wilhelm). In it, Haehner noticed the historical narrations constructed to excuse the monarch and the politics of his entourage to reestablish the German monarchy, at times with irritation, at times with approval. Besides, Haehner's diary is also a medical file, full of intimate observations focussing on the Empress during her severe illness and long expected death. As it enables to examine the history of Monarchy in exile from a medicine, body, and gender historical perspective, the edition of the Haehner diary will also contribute to the understanding of the cultural history of the 1918-postwar period in Germany. Even though the diary actually is a non-autobiographical document, its edition will help to focus on the physician Alfred Haehner and his wife Sophie, both scions of two important Cologne families influencing the communal life from the times of Imperial Germany until the early years of the Federal Republic. The history of the Haehner Archive, which further includes correspondence with - for example - the Hohenzollern crown prince Wilhelm, Victoria Luise, the only daughter of Wilhelm II and Auguste Victoria, and famous politicians of the Weimar Republic, will additionally elucidate the politics of history of the Federal Republic of Germany: The first attempt to publish the Haehner diary failed because of the editor's reservations; he feared to demolish the monarch's reputation. Against the background of the current debate on the Hohenzollern's litigation with the German state, the printed and digital publication of the Haehner diary will both attract an academic and a wider public.

该项目的目的是编辑（包括评论）的完整日记博士医学阿尔弗雷德海纳（1880年至1949年）。海纳是德国皇帝威廉二世和他的妻子奥古斯特维多利亚在荷兰流亡的早期（1919-1924年）的私人医生。在流亡和战后君主制历史的背景下，该版本将有助于研究霍亨索伦的反犹主义及其为废除魏玛共和国而进行的斗争。作为这段历史的一部分，它将促进对奥古斯特维多利亚皇后和第一次世界大战结束时德国与荷兰之间的跨国和外交关系的研究。海纳的日记，写在五个较小的卷，已经幸存下来的科隆公共档案馆在2009年崩溃。这是一个罕见的目击者文件描述和评论霍亨索伦法院流亡在Amerongen和多恩。在同情和批判距离之间摇摆不定，它提供了一个关于德国帝国夫妇和他们流亡的法院的特殊视角，这位医生和天主教徒打算有一天向更广泛的公众展示他的记忆。海纳的日记记录了这位医生与威廉二世、他的妻子和其他皇家成员（例如王储威廉）的谈话，部分是逐字逐句的记录。在这本书中，海纳注意到，历史叙述是为了原谅君主及其随从的政治，以重建德国君主制而构建的，有时是愤怒的，有时是赞同的。此外，海纳的日记也是一份医疗档案，充满了亲密的观察集中在皇后在她严重的疾病和长期预期的死亡。由于它能够从医学、身体和性别历史的角度审视流亡君主制的历史，海纳日记的版本也将有助于理解1918年至战后德国的文化史。尽管这本日记实际上是一份非自传性的文件，但它的版本将有助于关注医生阿尔弗雷德·海纳和他的妻子索菲，他们都是两个重要的科隆家庭的后裔，从德国帝国时代到联邦共和国早期，他们影响着公共生活。海纳档案馆的历史，其中进一步包括通信-例如-霍亨索伦王储威廉，维多利亚路易丝，威廉二世和奥古斯特维多利亚的唯一女儿，和著名的政治家的魏玛共和国，将另外阐明政治的历史联邦共和国的德国：第一次尝试出版海纳日记失败，因为编辑的保留;他害怕破坏君主的名誉。在目前关于霍亨索伦与德国政府诉讼的辩论背景下，海纳日记的印刷和数字出版将吸引学术界和更广泛的公众。
