Lars Schreiber Pedersen: “Die grosse Zeit ist vorüber”. Extract from H. O. Lange’s correspondence with Georg Steindorff 1937-1939 During his first stay at the home of Professor Adolf Erman in Berlin in 1887, the Danish Egyptologist, H. O. Lange (1863-1943) also got to know a number of Erman’s students. The oldest of them was Georg Steindorff (1861-1951), with whom Lange developed a long, friendly relationship, which was to last for over 50 years.Based on the archive material from the Royal Library in Copenhagen and the Egyptian Museum at the University of Leipzig, this article focuses on the correspondence between Lange and Steindorff in the years 1937-1939. These were landmark years for both men. After 13 years as a lecturer in Egyptology at the University of Copenhagen, 74-year-old H. O. Lange had retired on 1 July 1937, and Georg Steindorff, who was two years older at this point, had also retired after more than 40 years as Professor in Egyptology at the University of Leipzig.The correspondence clearly shows that during these years, on a personal and profession level, there was more at stake for Georg Steindorff. Despite the fact that he had already been baptised in 1885, according to National Socialist race laws, Steindorff continued to be considered as a “full Jew” (Volljude). However, and quite unusually, Steindorff was able to teach at the University up until the end of 1935. However, in the following years, he was increasingly persecuted by the Nazi regime. In 1937, he was forced to relinquish his many years as editor of the leading scientific journal, Zeitschrift für Ägyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde, which brought to an end his status as the profession’s grand old man in Germany. In December 1938, he was forced to withdraw from the Saxon Scientific Academy and, at the end of March 1939, he emigrated with his wife to the USA. The correspondence between the two old friends and colleagues apparently ended abruptly in the autumn of 1939. Personal reasons are not thought to be the cause of this breakdown in communication; it was probably caused by the outbreak of the war.Central to H. O. Lange and Georg Steindorff’s correspondence during the period 1937-1939, was the question of how to safeguard Georg Steindorff’s unpublished scientific works and preserve them for the future. Steindorff was very much interested in giving them to H. O. Lange in Copenhagen, but the German Egyptologist ended up bringing them to the USA anyway. However, neither did his etymological Coptic-Egyptian glossary nor his planned thesis on ‘Achmimische Proverbien’ to be written with his deceased colleague, Carl Schmidt ever see the light of day. On the other hand, Steindorff’s Coptic grammar was published posthumously in 1951 under the title Lehrbuch der koptischen Grammatik. Nor did H. O. Lange, who in January 1939 had expressed his hope that Steindorff would be fortunate enough to finish this important work, get to see the finished results. On 15 January 1943, the Danish Egyptologist died at the age of 79.

Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag untersucht die Entwicklung der RfA, dem Versicherungsträger der Angestellten, als Teil des NS-Herrschaftssystems und im Kontext der nationalsozialistischen Rentenpolitik. Dabei geht es zum einen um die RfA als Behörde und den Prozess ihrer Transformation zu einem Teil des NS-Verwaltungsstaates, zum anderen um die Probleme der Umsetzung von Rentengesetzen aus der Perspektive der RfA am Beispiel des Handwerker-Versorgungsgesetz, und drittens schließlich wird die Diskriminierung und Exklusion von jüdischen Versicherten und Rentnern aus der Angestelltenversicherung thematisiert. Abstract History of the Pension Insurance of the Nazi regime: RfA as an insurance carrier for employees in the context of the National Socialist public pension policy The article examines the development of the RfA as an insurance carrier for employees as part of the Nazi regime and in the context of the National Socialist public pension policy. On the one hand it concerns the RfA as authority and the process of its transformation to a part of the NS administrative state, on the other hand the problems of the implementation of pension laws from the perspective of the RfA on the example of the craftsman supply law, and thirdly finally the discrimination and exclusion of Jewish insured and pensioners from the employee insurance.


The Tercentenary of the Royal Society was just the right occasion to revive the memory of one of its early continental Fellows, a man, who loved England as much as his own fatherland, Saxony, a man who did probably more than anyone else to spread the knowledge of English science, English history and the English way of life in Central Europe in the hey-day of continental absolutism. Johann Burchard Mencke belonged to a family of distinguished scholars. His father, Otto Mencke, (1) a native of the town of Oldenburg, had founded the Acta Eruditorum , (2) the first scientific journal in Germany, in 1682. Otto Mencke, who was professor of moral philosophy at the University of Leipzig, had previously made a long trip to England and Holland, to get into personal contact with the scholars, scientists and philosophers of those countries. The Acta , written in Latin and giving scientific and historical news of all parts of the world, was soon read in central, western and northern Europe.

This article profiles the scientific lives of six women physicians on the staff of the Clinic of Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of Vienna in 1927, the year when its Director, Julius Wagner-Jauregg, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. They were all of Jewish descent and had to leave Austria in the 1930s to escape from the National Socialist regime. With a solid background in brain science and mental disorders, Alexandra Adler, Edith Klemperer, Annie Reich, Lydia Sicher and Edith Vincze pursued academic careers in the USA, while Fanny Halpern spent 18 years in Shanghai, where she laid the foundations of modern Chinese psychiatry, before going to Canada. At the dawn of their medical careers, they were among the first women to practise neurology and psychiatry, both in Austria and overseas.

The topic of this article is the history of National Socialist Skiing in Austria, as of 1938 called “Ostmark”. Following lines are based on a dissertation which was written and defended at the University of Salzburg in April 2020 and published in November 2021. The history of National Socialist skiing in Austria does not begin with the Anschluss in March 1938. Even before that, large parts of organized skiing were oriented towards the Nazi state. An increasing ideologization of sport led to a policy of exclusion in the ÖSV in the early 1920s, which was reflected in the radicalism of National Socialism. Austrian ski sport officials and activists played an important role in the Nazi regime. Their diverse participation only becomes apparent when their biographies are not only viewed in the context of sporting achievements. The article examines the power structures and scope for action of Austrian skiing before and during the Nazi dictatorship and investigates the extent to which this could become the carrier of the National Socialist injustice system. A specific focus of the article will be on actors, especially on athletes who served in the SA and SS. The analysis focuses on individual patterns of action, participation and interpretation. The individual stories of athletes are intended to illustrate the functioning of the Nazi regime in skiing from a bottom-up-perspective.

The opening of relationships between United States and Cuba could be a drive for a huge increase in the affluence of tourism to Cuba and especially to the coast areas. Cuba has been for many years an important tourist destination for people from many countries, but almost forbidden for US citizens. The proximity of the USA, its amount of population as well as their great acquisition power will increase in a very substantial way the demand for accommodation and other uses in the proximity of the coasts. There will be a need to implement a package of measures that reduce the impact of such sudden increase in the coastal line. On the other hand that augment in tourism could be an opportunity to improve the standard of life of Cubans. The consideration of different possibilities of such development, the analysis of the damages that each one could cause as well as the measures that could avoid, ameliorate or compensate such effects are the goals that are going to be presented in this paper.

Values guide actions and judgements, form the basis of attitudinal and behavioral processes, and have an impact on leaders’ decision-making, contributing to more sustainable performance. Through a bibliometric study and content analysis, 2038 articles were selected from Scopus, from the period 1994–2021, presenting global research tendencies on the subject of values, public administration, and sustainability. The results indicate that Sustainability is the most productive journal, the main research category is in social sciences, the most productive institution is the University of Queensland, the location with the most publications and research collaborations is the USA, and the authors with the greatest number of articles are Chung, from Chung-Ang University; García-Sánchez, from the University of Salamanca; and Pérez, from the University of Cantabria. Analysis of keywords shows that the most relevant are “sustainability”, “CSR”, “sustainable development”, “innovation”, and “leadership”. Time analysis of keywords reveals a tendency for lines of research in the social and work area. The results also provide data about the framing of studies in sustainability pillars and the types of values referred to and indicate the main areas of public administration studied. Finally, a future research agenda is proposed.
