Discourses on War and Peace (1914/18-1939/1945)Munich between Cultural Pluralism and its Status as 'Capital of the NS-Movement'

在两次世界大战（1914- 1918年和1939- 1945年）期间，关于战争的论述不仅主导了私人和公共领域。他们也在很大程度上影响了两次世界大战期间的和平谈判。虽然战争经验可以在战争无可争辩的现实背景下分享，但两次战争之间的时期并没有令人信服地传达和平经验，因为和平本身并不被认为是“真实的”。在公共领域内，为了通过修改停火谈判所产生的条件来实现“真正的”和平，仍在继续进行言论斗争。这些讨论被概念化为“关于战争与和平的论述”（kriegsfriedensdiscourse，关于战争与和平的论述），重新找到了对肯定会发生的第二次世界大战进行合法化和解释的可能性。然而，魏玛时期的这些理论建构并不一定是纳粹征服战争和后来大屠杀的正当理由。自2009年9月以来，本研究项目已成功地参与了这些发生在慕尼黑的战争期间的话语战斗的问题。在魏玛共和国的黄金时期，慕尼黑在宗教、文化、社会和政治层面上都是多元化的首都。然而，与此同时，这座城市被迫成为“希特勒的纳粹运动之都”。该项目聚焦于巴伐利亚天主教徒的社会政治和意识形态定位，并将其与其他忏悔、宗教和社会政治团体的战争与和平概念的对比关系放大。这种方法已被证明是非常富有成效的。该研究项目将按照原定计划于2013年秋季完成，因此在提交的资助期内。然而，最近，出乎意料的是，新的和高度相关的原始材料已经被发现，并已成为研究人员和公众访问。到目前为止，这些文件是完全未知的，必须整合到分析中，以确保项目的结果是全面的。这些文件是“访客日志（besucher - tageb<e:1> cher）”，属于慕尼黑大主教迈克尔·福尔哈伯（Michael Faulhaber）和他庄园的其他重要材料。这个研究项目已经确定了红衣主教Faulhaber是慕尼黑所有战争与和平话语中无可争议的关键。为了了解相关参与者的网络和这些辩论的主题，除了之前在2010-2013年资助期的第一个项目提案中提到的所有文件外，还必须评估这些文件。因此，本申请是请求将本研究项目延长约两年。

Discourses about war not only dominated private and public spheres during the two world wars (1914-18 and 1939-45). They also influenced to a great extent the peace discussions within the inter-war period.While war experiences could be shared against the background of the wars' indisputable reality, the inter-war period was not a convincingly communicated peace experience, because peace itself was not considered as "real". Within the public sphere, discourse battles continued in an effort to achieve a "real" peace by revising the conditions that were the result of ceasefire negotiations.These discussions, conceptualized as "Kriegsfriedensdiskurse (discourses on war and peace)", recovered the potential of legitimation and interpretation of a second World War that was only too sure to come. However, these theoretical constructions during the Weimar years were not necessarily legitimations of the Nazi war of conquest and of the Holocaust later on.Since September 2009, this research project has been successfully attending to the questions of these inter-war period battles of discourse as they occurred in Munich. Munich was a capital of pluralism on religious, cultural, societal, and political levels during the good, even golden years of the Weimar Republic. Nevertheless, the city was being forced into the status of "capital of Hitlers NS-movement (Hauptstadt der Bewegung)" at the same time. This project brings into focus the socio-political and ideological positioning of Bavarian Catholics and zooms in on their relationships to contrasting concepts of war and peace from other confessional, religious, and socio-political groups.This approach has proven to be extraordinarily fruitful and productive. The research project would have been completed according to its original schedule by autumn 2013 and therefore within the submitted grant period. However, recently and quite unpredictably, new and highly relevant source materials have been uncovered and have become accessible to researchers and the public. These are documents that until now were completely unknown and that must be integrated into the analysis to make sure that the outcome of the project is comprehensive.These documents are "visitors' logs (Besucher-Tagebücher)" that belonged to the archbishop of Munich Cardinal Michael Faulhaber and other important materials from his estate. This research project has identified Cardinal Faulhaber as the uncontested linchpin in all war-and-peace discourses in Munich. To comprehend the network of relevant participants and the topics of these debates, it is indispensable to evaluate these documents in addition to all the documents previously mentioned in the first project proposal for the funding period 2010-2013. Therefore, this application is a request to prolong this research project for ca. two years.
