Der Glaube an den „neuen deutschen Lebensraum“ erfuhr unter den Nationalsozialisten eine besondere Ausprägung. Die Mittel waren vielfältig, die Bandbreite der Kolonisation im Umfeld von Machtausbau, Krieg und Besatzung erstreckte sich von den ideologischen Prämissen bis hin zu ökonomischen Belangen. Städtebau, Architektur und Raumplanung hatten hierbei eine Schlüsselfunktion übernommen. Die vorliegende Schrift exemplifiziert dies anhand ausgewählter Zentralorte in den vom nationalsozialistischen Deutschland okkupierten oder annektierten Territorien in Mittel- und Osteuropa. Im Sinne einer Grundlagenforschung verfolgt sie einen diskursanalytischen Zugang zu den Raumtheorien. Städtebau und Architektur werden vor den Koordinaten der mehrschichtigen architekturgeschichtlichen Zusammenhänge, ihrer Nachhaltigkeit und ihren Kontinuitäten sowie den damit verbundenen Theorie- und Ideologiebildungen untersucht. Näher betrachtet werden aber auch die personalen Netzwerke, da sie über zentrale Momente Aufschluss geben: Entwurf und Bau lagen oft nicht allein in den Händen „reichsdeutscher“ Planer, beteiligt waren immer wieder auch einheimische Fachkräfte. Dies erlaubt es der wissenschaftlichen Beurteilung, jenseits der Dichotomie des Vorwurfs niederträchtiger Kollaboration und eines exkulpatorischen Verständnisses eine sozioökonomisch motivierte Kollaboration in ihrem Kontext darzustellen.

In its time, the National Socialist housing and settlement policy may have appeared to many as a fundamental and convincing social measure for the German people. The strict uniformity of orientation was also accepted as a necessary welfare measure in order to master the overpowering housing problem. The real political intentions behind the alleged social measures remained largely unclear. The housing program has failed. A settlement concept that served armaments and was supposed to guarantee population growth for future world domination could never create the promised peaceful future. The residents of the settlement watched as new houses were put up, while bombs destroyed the recently completed buildings. The dreamed house was only available at the cost of destroying others. This book convincingly demonstrates how the transfer of National Socialist ideology via conceptual foundations, aesthetic-architectural models and socio-political strategies took place both in large-scale projects and in completed settlements in Reichsgau Vienna. Archival sources, primary testimonials and rich image material justify the evaluations and guarantee the necessary objectivity.

The role of music during the German occupation of Norway (1940-45) proves to be an exceptional case for cultural opposition in a dictatorship. Few famous musicians, some local celebrities and innumerous hardly known activists preferred artistic instead of militant means to demonstrate reluctance, spread information, contradict the legitimacy of the German occupants and raise the moral strength of fellow countrymen in Norway and abroad, while risking to be caught, incarcerated and driven into exile. The indispensable advantage was the popular belief of art as an apolitical matter so that music even could reach into fields that would have been inaccessible to open political agitation. Based on considerable findings in public archives and private collections, this book discusses music in concentration camps in Norway and the fate of Jewish musicians, portrays choirs, military ensembles, orchestral and church music in Norway. It further analyzes Harald Sæverud's 5th symphony and Moses Pergament's choir symphony Den judiska sången, illustrates the exile of musicians in Stockholm and discusses resistance music in historic media such as the Errol Flynn-movie Edge of Darkness (1943), recapitulated by a model for music as resistance.

Notions of the 'Nordic' have always been an issue in Norway's national identity building, both before and after it became a sovereign state in 1905. Accordingly, Norwegian music has expressed a sense of ambivalence towards being conceived as 'Nordic' from the outside: A strong sense of 'Norwegianness' (forged during the heroic age of cultural nation-building in the 19th century) was challenged by the advent of new, nationalistic currents in the 1930s, which used notions of the Nordic as a political weapon. This book shows how music expresses affirmation and ambivalence towards the 'Nordic' as an ingredient of Norwegian national identity across musical genres. Further, it explores the contingencies of national music and the dramatic changes in 20th-century European political history. At the same time, it sheds new light on the difference between musical nationalism and national music. Die versammelten Aufsätze entfalten ein breites und facettenreiches Panorama, betreten mitunter genuines Forschungsneuland und eröffnen durch ihren Fallstudiencharakter zahlreiche Ansätze für künftige Untersuchungen, auch weit über die deutsch-norwegischen Musikbeziehungen hinaus. Zudem lenken sie den Blick auf die noch zu wenig aus vergleichender Perspektive betrachteten internationalen Musikbeziehungen im 20. Jahrhundert und insbesondere das Musikleben unter deutscher Besatzung, die erst allmählich größere Beachtung finden. Viele Beiträge zeichnen sich zudem durch intensive Arbeit mit teils unbekannten Archivquellen aus und sind durch faksimilierte Dokumente und Bildmaterial angereichert. - Tobias Reichard, in: H-Soz-Kult, 06.04.2021.
