The last German Emperor, the Empress, and their Personal Physician: Wilhelm II and his wife Auguste Victoria in Exile (1919-1924) and the diary of Dr. med. Alfred Haehner (1880-1949) - an edition

该项目的目的是编辑（包括评论）医学博士阿尔弗雷德·海纳（1880-1949）的完整日记。在德国皇帝威廉二世和他的妻子奥古斯特·维多利亚流亡荷兰的早期（1919-1924），海纳尔是他们的私人医生。在君主制流亡历史和战后时代的背景下，该版本将有助于研究霍亨索伦王朝的反犹主义和他们为撤销魏玛共和国而进行的斗争。作为这段历史的一部分，它将激发对奥古斯特·维多利亚皇后以及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。海纳斯的日记分五卷，在2009年科隆公共档案馆倒塌后幸存下来。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阿隆根和多伦。在同情和批判的距离之间摇摆不定，这本书提供了一个独特的视角，讲述了德国皇室夫妇和他们流亡的宫廷，作者是一名医生和天主教徒，他打算有一天把他的记忆呈现给更广泛的公众。海纳的日记记录了他与威廉二世、他的妻子以及其他王室成员（比如威廉二世王储）的对话，部分内容是逐字逐句的记录。在书中，海纳注意到，历史叙事的构建是为了原谅君主及其随从的政治，以重建德国君主制，有时带着愤怒，有时带着赞同。此外，海纳的日记也是一份医疗档案，充满了对皇后在重病和期待已久的死亡期间的密切观察。由于它能够从医学、身体和性别历史的角度审视君主制流亡的历史，哈纳日记的版本也将有助于理解1918年至战后德国时期的文化史。尽管这本日记实际上是非自传性的，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，他们都是科隆两个重要家族的后代，从德意志帝国时代到联邦共和国早期，他们都影响着公共生活。海纳尔档案的历史，进一步包括与霍亨索伦王朝王储威廉、威廉二世和奥古斯特·维多利亚的独生女维多利亚·路易斯以及魏玛共和国著名政治家的通信，将进一步阐明德意志联邦共和国历史上的政治：第一次出版海纳尔日记的尝试失败了，因为编辑的保留；他害怕破坏君主的名誉。在当前关于霍亨索伦王朝与德国政府诉讼的辩论背景下，哈纳日记的印刷和数字出版物将吸引学术界和更广泛的公众。

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.
