The author described the self-dismantling of the political center as fatal and wrote that it increases the chances for extremes. As a comparison, he cited the break of the last Grand Coalition in the Weimar Republic, which was followed by chaos and "the unthinkable." In his opinion, compromises would be easier today if the coalition partners did not constantly put each other under public pressure. #Politik #Demokratie #Kompromiss #DE (translated)

The article by Heinrich August Winkler argues that the comparison between the AfD and the NSDAP is too superficial and clarifies the necessity for democratic parties to subordinate their interests to the stability of the coalition in order to address the current political situation in Germany. #Demokratie #WeimarerRepublik #AfD (translated)

In the current Q&A episode of the history podcast of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the question is discussed whether a ban on the AfD protects or endangers democracy, with references to the history of party bans from 1930 to the present. #Demokratie #WeimarerRepublik #Parteiverbot (translated)

Alejandro Alvarez opened his post with an insult and claimed that German hyperinflation was controlled in 1923, ten years before Adolf Hitler came to power. He stated that that year, during the Weimar Republic and the government of Gustav Stresemann, Hjalmar Schacht played a key role in monetary stabilization and that the introduction of the Rentenmark in November ended uncontrolled issuance. He added that stabilization was consolidated in 1924 and the Dawes Plan was implemented to reorganize war reparations, and that Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. #historia #Alemania #hiperinflación (translated)

Kiürül a politikai közép – tényleg Weimar felé tart Németország? Újra #Weimar felé tart Németország? Mi történik, amikor kiürül a politikai közép? Meg tudja védeni magát egy demokrácia a szélsőségektől anélkül, hogy közben saját alapjait számolná fel? #KarafiáthOrsolya #KonokPéter #BaloghGábor #ÖT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvj80uJOE5s

The author of the post wrote that he trusted the democratically elected parliament more than judges who did not obtain a mandate in elections. As a particularly instructive example, he pointed to Germany, claiming that judges who were often hostile to the Weimar Republic contributed to its downfall through inaction or active measures. #demokracja #parlament #sędziowie #DE (translated)

Max Mannhart wrote that the leader of the Left Party, Eva von Angern, referred to Clara Zetkin in her speech at the opening of the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, with regard to Siegmund. Zetkin was the oldest member in the Weimar Republic before Hermann Göring took over the position of President of the Reichstag. Mannhart described Zetkin as a fervent anti-democrat and wrote that she had called for extraparliamentary violence to overthrow the bourgeois state in a speech and celebrated the Soviet Union under Stalin. In a show trial in Moscow, she demanded the death penalty as a prosecutor against political opponents. The author called the reference to Zetkin an example of the historical ignorance of those who speak particularly often and loudly about 1933. #Geschichte #Politik #SachsenAnhalt (translated)

Ahmad Mansour wrote that for years, dissenting opinions had been classified as right-wing; those who asked questions were treated not as conversation partners but as fascists. When there was a possibility in parliament that votes from the AfD could be cast during a vote, the same voices had warned of a dam break and a possible end of the republic. Mansour pointed out that these people considered themselves antifascists and defenders of democracy. At the same time, they now asked indignantly whether antisemitism on the left, connections to organized clans, and years of ignoring Islamism were really grounds for criticism. He wrote that anyone who criticized the left, according to their portrayal, was not engaging in criticism but conducting a campaign. #Demokratie #Antifaschismus #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

November 6, 1932: 33.1% for the NSDAP. 85 days follow. 85 days that destroy the Weimar Republic. 85 days in which a minority becomes a dictatorship. What we must learn from this: Fascists do not need their own majority to abolish democracy. #Demokratie #Faschismus #WeimarerRepublik #DE (translated)

At the invitation of the Left Party, Hape Kerkeling spoke in the Thuringian State Parliament in favor of a ban procedure against the AfD. He accused the party of making "Buchenwald possible" as well. The Buchenwald concentration camp near Weimar was one of the largest concentration camps of the National Socialists. https://t.co/0iUM8JcbKN #AfD #Buchenwald #Thüringen (translated)

Das linksextremistische WDR-Format spricht von einem „Glaubwürdigkeitsverlust“ wenn Kocaks Verbindungen zu Clans bekannt werden. Das migrantische Mackertum prägt die Polit-Marke Kocak, der sich als „Der Neuköllner“ auf Social Media präsentiert. Jetzt wurde er von den Genossen abgesägt, nachdem er die Stimmen Eingebürgerten eingeholt hat. Diese Posse illustriert, dass wir die Weimarer Verhältnisse überholen. Mir ist nicht wohl dabei. #Politik #Migrant #Kultur

"Die Linke." hat ihre Parteizentrale im selben Haus wie die Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands. Die Partei musste dieses Haus in Berlin-Mitte nicht kaufen. Es gehörte ihr noch von früher. Bis heute ist das Haus nach Karl Liebknecht, dem Gründer der KPD benannt, der die Weimarer Republik schon vor ihrer Etablierung verhindern wollte. Weitermachen?

1924 arbeitet Marianne Brandt in der Metallwerkstatt des Bauhauses bei László Moholy-Nagy. Gemeinsam mit Otto Rittweger entsteht das Teeservice MT 50–55. Kreis und Kugel bestimmen die Form, Dekoration verschwindet fast vollständig. Es wirkt wie ein Produkt industrieller Fertigung, wurde aber noch aufwendig von Hand hergestellt. Genau darin zeigt sich der Wandel der Metallwerkstatt: vom traditionellen Handwerk hin zu einer neuen Idee von Gestaltung für die moderne Produktion. Heute ist das Teeservice im Bauhaus-Museum Weimar zu sehen. Ein Ort, den wir auf unserer Bauhaus Experience in Weimar immer wieder neu entdecken. https://t.co/MmKnSKneYL #MarianneBrandt #Teapot #Design #BauhausExperience #Weimar #Bauhaus #Design #Weimar
