Schleswig-Holstein

When I wrote this article, I was a Guardian's Berlin bureau chief and I was mostly covering German politics.

And Habeck had come on my radar quite a few years beforehand when he was even younger and he was the environment minister in Schleswig-Holstein, which is his home state up in Germany's north, it's also where I was born.

So I had an interest in him.

I'd interviewed him previously.

In Habeck's telling, he turned up at a local branch meeting in 2002 merely because he wanted a cycle path outside his home.

From this unassuming beginning, his rise was swift.

Within two years, Habeck was the chair of the Green Party in Schleswig-Holstein, an agricultural state of just under three million people.

As an outsider within a party marked by factualism and ideological infighting, he had no qualms about pushing the Greens in a new direction.

where people,

Alsace-Lorraine, Schleswig-Holstein on the continent, particular examples of that, where people live next to each other.

And even if there's a border, in a great many cases, people are going back and forth across the border.

And they have relationships.

Well, one of them anyway.

I'm booking a long weekend in Schleswig-Holstein.

I remember that from the Treaty of Versailles.

It was ceded by Germany to Denmark, I think, wasn't it? Or the other way around.

He's going to issue... further bulls and letters that reference back to this and incorporate it by reference, essentially, which do provide the same dispensation, the same the same benefits of going to Jerusalem or the Holy Land more generally to people who go down to Iberia to try and retake parts of Jerusalem.

the Iberian Peninsula from the various Muslim polities there, and also for the North German peoples and the Danes, especially the area of Schleswig-Holstein, for them to try and invade and conquer The Windisch Lands, which is now part of northeast Germany.

But that is going to run into issues as well.

However, they're all incorporated together.

Selbst in seinen späten Jahren blieb Bernstein international gefragt als Dirigent in Wien, Salzburg und an anderen großen Häusern.

1987 gründete er die Internationale Orchesterakademie des Schleswig-Holstein Musikfestivals.

Leonard Bernstein war ein Großer der Musik.

Er starb am 14.

If you think about disputed colonies, but also concrete border conflicts.

For example, there was also a border conflict between Denmark and Germany in the Schleswig region.

However, I try to show in this chapter of the book, in which I focus on these questions, that smaller parties could also use notions of fascist internationalism and the idea of common enemies to bypass territorial disputes.

So the Danes argued that Yeah, they wouldn't just give up Greenland, of course, but they argued that in the end, it was more important that fascism or national socialism would succeed in each country.

And afterwards, these different fascists would somehow come up with a fellow peace project.

And also later on, they argued for this disputed border region in Schleswig that it was more important that a fascist would govern this region or if it would be a German or a Dane.

So we see how powerful this idea of fascist internationalism actually could be for some people.

And this for me is a very important prehistory to the collaboration of fascist movements with Nazi Germany in the Second World War.

And across the town at the Kiel University, a toxicologist named Edmund Maser, he had already received a strange delivery.

But it appears that 15 years ago, Some people from the ministry from Schleswig-Holstein came up to us with some clamps, some muscles and asked us, because we have very high and sensitive analytics, and they asked us if we could maybe look into these muscles if these contain munition related chemicals.

And I've never heard about this problem before.

And these items are now corroding and these muscles which they brought to our lab were sitting on a bomb, have been sitting on a bomb.
