‎Frankfurt am Main : Suhrkamp, 1988. 106 S. : 1 graph. Darst. Gebundene Ausgabe mit Schutzumschlag.‎

‎Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - Revidierte Ausgabe. - Mit einigen Bleistift-Anstreichungen. - Trotz ihres fragmentarischen Charakters sind diese Aufzeichnungen so wertvoll für ein Verständnis der Person und der Biographie Benjamins, aber auch für die Vielschichtigkeit seiner literarischen Produktion, daß ihre Veröffentlichung eine wesentliche Bereicherung unserer Kenntnis darstellen dürfte. Nicht nur, daß wir hier genauere Einzelheiten über sein Elternhaus und dessen Hintergrund erfahren, sondern es stehen hier auch die einzigen erhaltenen Seiten, auf denen Benjamin sich über seinen toten Freund Fritz Heinle, der eine große Rolle in seinem Leben spielte, geäußert hat. Als er im Herbst 1932, nach der Rückkehr nach Berlin, die literarische Ausarbeitung der Berliner Kindheit begann, schied er alle Elemente aus, die auf seine unmittelbare reale Biographie Bezug haben...« Gershom Scholem ISBN 3518012517‎

‎Der Zeitzeuge : Gottfried Benn ; 1929 - 1949. Von Joachim Dyck.‎

‎Göttingen : Wallstein-Verlag, 2006. 464 S. ; 23 cm; fadengeh. Orig.-Pappband m. illustr. OUmschl.‎

‎Gutes Ex.; Buch gering "schiefgelesen". - Zwischen Gottfried Benns erstem internationalen Ruhm 1929 und seinem fulminanten comeback 1949 liegen zwanzig Jahre, die das Ende der Weimarer Republik, die Jahre des Nationalsozialismus und des Zweiten Weltkriegs und schließlich die frühe Nachkriegszeit umfassen. Die Position des Autors zwischen Literatur, Politik und Zeit-geschichte in diesen Jahren zu bestimmen, hat immer wieder Anlaß zu heftigen Kontroversen gegeben. Eine umfassende Biographie, die Antworten auf die vielen offenen Fragen gibt, fehlt bis heute. Joachim Dyck hat nun erstmals diesen biographisch und künstlerisch zentralen Zeitraum vor dem Hintergrund breiter Quellenkenntnis umfassend dargestellt. Die wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen, unter denen Gottfried Benn seinen Beruf als Arzt ausübte, werden ebenso einbezogen wie die literarischen Debatten und intellektuellen Orientierungsversuche in einer Zeit der intellektuellen Krisen und politischen Umbrüche. Auch Benns persönliches Umfeld, seine Liebesbeziehungen und Freundschaften, werden nicht ausgespart. So entsteht ein überraschendes und facettenreiches Bild, das Gottfried Benn nicht mehr bloß als isolierten "Phänotyp" zeigt, sondern erstmals auch das Paradigmatische in Leben und Werk dieses Zeitzeugen erfaßt. (Verlagstext) / INHALT : Das Ende der Republik ---- Benns Aufstieg ---- Auseinandersetzungen mit der Linken ---- Neues Medium Rundfunk ---- Die Kontroverse mit Werner Hegemann ---- Das Ende der Republik ---- Der Erfolg ---- Die Preußische Akademie 1932 ---- Auswanderung ---- Nach dem Nihilismus ---- Die Akademie im Übergang ---- Gleichschaltung ---- Benns Erklärung ---- Der "Neue Staat" ---- Die Kontroversen ---- Klaus Manns Brief ---- Emigration ---- Sommer 1933 ---- Besuch aus Paris ---- Die Emigranten wehren sich ---- Ernüchterung ---- Politischer Journalismus ---- Rückblick ---- Benns Rückzug ---- (u.v.a.)

‎Autographed Letter Russian Railroads 1872 by Bennett James Gordon‎

‎<p>A letter from Gordon Bennett the New York Herald to C. H. Meltzer a correspondent to cover the 4th Railroad Congress to be held in St. Petersburg on August 20th 1872 in which Bennett is going to vacation and show up. He is writing this letter from his Paris apartment at 190 Avenue des Champs Elysees.….This letter has some stains and edge tears and as you can see from the pictures it has some conservator's repairs as well. Tearing at the creases but does mention the possible interview with General Annenkoff see below for brief on Annenkoff. Folds present but a very nice letter. No information is available on the 4th Railroad Congress in St. Petersburg but none the less a rare and important railroad history document.despite its creases tears and stains. Photos are NOT included.</p><p>James Gordon Bennett Jr. May 10 1841 – May 14 1918 was publisher of the New York Herald founded by his father James Gordon Bennett Sr. who immigrated from Scotland. He was generally known as Gordon Bennett to distinguish him from his father.</p><p>Biography: Bennett was educated primarily in France. In 1866 the elder Bennett turned control of the Herald over to him. Bennett raised the paper's profile on the world stage when he provided the financial backing for the 1869 expedition by Henry Morton Stanley into Africa to find David Livingstone in exchange for the Herald having the exclusive account of Stanley's progress.</p><p>Bennett as did many of his social class indulged in the "good life": yachts opulent private railroad cars and lavish mansions. He was the youngest Commodore ever of the New York Yacht Club. In 1861 Bennett volunteered his newly-built schooner yacht Henrietta for the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service during the Civil War. He was commissioned "third lieutenant" viz. brevet second lieutenant of the U.S. Marine Revenue schooner Henrietta beginning in June 1861. She patrolled Long Island until February 1862 when she was sent to Port Royal South Carolina. On March 3 1862 Bennett commanding Henrietta was part of the fleet which captured Fernandina Florida. Bennett and the Henrietta returned to civilian life in New York in May 1862.</p><p>In 1866 he won the first trans-oceanic yacht race. The race was between three American yachts the Vesta the Fleetwing and the Henrietta. They started off of Sandy Hook New Jersey on 11 December 1866 amid high westerly winds and raced to The Needles the furthest westerly point on the Isle of Wight famous for its lighthouse. Bennett's Henrietta won with a time of 13 days 21 hours 55 minutes.</p><p>Julius LeBlanc Stewart Yachting on the Mediterranean 1896. Stewart painted a series of paintings aboard Bennet's yacht Namouna.</p><p>The 1906 Gordon Bennett Cup in Ballooning.</p><p>James Gordon Bennett Jr. However he often scandalized society with his flamboyant and sometimes erratic behavior. In 1877 he left New York for Europe after an incident that ended his engagement to socialite Caroline May. According to various accounts he arrived late and drunk to a party at the May family mansion then urinated into a fireplace some say grand piano in full view of his hosts.</p><p>Bennett's controversial reputation has been thought to have inspired in the United Kingdom the phrase "Gordon Bennett" as an expression of incredulity.</p><p>Settling in Paris he launched the Paris edition of the New York Herald titled The Paris Herald the forerunner of the International Herald Tribune. He backed George W. DeLong's voyage to the North Pole via the Bering Strait. The ill-fated expedition led to the deaths from starvation of DeLong and 19 of his crew a tragedy that only increased the paper's circulation.</p><p>He was a co-founder of the Commercial Cable Company a venture to break the Transatlantic cable monopoly held by Jay Gould.</p><p>Bennett returned to the United States and organized the first polo match in the United States at Dickel's Riding Academy at 39th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City. He would help found the Westchester Polo Club in 1876 the first polo club in America. He established the Gordon Bennett Cup for international yachting and the Gordon Bennett Cup for automobile races. In 1906 he funded the Gordon Bennett Cup in ballooning Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett which continues to this day. In 1909 Bennett offered a trophy for the fastest speed on a closed circuit for airplanes. The 1909 race in Rheims France was won by Glenn Curtiss for two circuits of a 10 km rectangular course at an average speed of 46.5 miles per hour 74.8 km/h. From 1896 to 1914 the champion of Paris USFSA football soccer received a trophy offered by Gordon Bennett.</p><p>In 1880 Bennett commissioned McKim Mead and White to design the Newport Casino in Newport RI.</p><p>He did not finally marry until he was 73. His wife was Maud Potter widow of George de Reuter son of Julius Paul Reuter founder of Reuters news agency. He died on May 14 1918 in Beaulieu-sur-Mer Alpes-Maritimes France.</p><p>Bennett is buried at the Cimetière de Passy. The nearby Stade de Roland Garros site of the French Open is on the Avenue Gordon Bennett. After his death the Herald was merged with its bitter rival the New York Tribune. Asteroid 305 Gordonia is named after him.</p><p>Mikhail Annenkov: General Mikhail Nikolayevich Annenkov Russian: ; formerly also transcribed Michael Nicolaivitch Annenkoff 1835 in St. Petersburg Russia - January 22 1899 in St. Petersburg Russia was a Russian nobleman author military officer and renowned engineer. An important figure in the history of the Russian conquest of Turkestan in the 19th Century he was Governor-General of the Transcaspian Region today's Turkmenistan.</p><p>General Annenkov was the builder of the strategic Transcaspian Railway in its initial stages through what is now Turkmenistan which made possible the bloody defeat of the Turkmen at Geok-Tepe in 1881. He was also involved in the planning of the Trans-Siberian railroad which was under construction at the time of his death. He also played a major role in the Pendjeh Crisis of 1885 when the UK and Russia nearly went to war. Education and Early Career Born into the wealthy Annenkoff family son of General Nicholas Annenkov Governor of Odessa and the southwestern provinces and aide-de-camp to the Emperor Michael studied at the Corps des Pages and was appointed general adjutant to the general staff of the Imperial Army at St. Petersburg. From 1864-1866 during the Polish uprising Michael earned a reputation as a competent commander and military tactician: by age 27 he had been made a Colonel of the Imperial Army and appointed Aide-de-Camp to Emperor Alexander III of Russia.</p><p>In the 1870s Michael served as Military Attaché to Germany during the Franco-Prussian War and then later to France. His writings on German military tactics during the war were widely read. By 1878 he had been appointed a Lieutenant-General of the Imperial Army. During the Russo-Turkish War 1877–1878 General Annenkoff was placed in charge of transportation learning the valuable skills that would later make him one of the most prominent engineers of his era.</p><p>Central Asia: In the 1880s General Annenkoff served on several campaigns in Central Asia most notably against the Turkmen population serving under General Mikhail Skobelev in the Merv campaign. In order to move troops and supplies he completed laying more than 1000 miles of track in less than three years 1885–1888 which brought him immediate engineering fame. He was honored by scientific bodies throughout Europe including being appointed a vice-president of the International Congress of Geography 1891. He later became a planner and chief promoter of the Trans-Siberian railroad.</p><p>General Annenkoff was also involved in the annexation of Emirate of Bukhara as a client state of the Czar. Upon the death of Emir Mozaffar al-Din in 1885 General Annenkoff marched into Bukhara and put Emir's younger son on the throne. The Russian troops that were left behind placed the Emirate of Bukhara under control of the Russian Empire.</p><p>Family: Most prominent of General Annenkoff's sisters were Madame Marie de Struve wife of Karl de Struve Russian Ambassador to Japan the United States and The Netherlands respectively8 Elizabeth princess Galitzine and Alexandra Vicomtesse de Vogüé wife of French critic and author Vicomte Eugene Melchior de Vogüé. In 1878 the Vicomte de Vogüé and Miss Alexandra N. Annenkova were married at the Winter Palace St. Petersburg. In 1883 General Annenkov married Dagmar von Oesterreich 19 years old. The marriage was dissolved in 1889.</p><p>General Michael N. Annenkoff died in 1899 reportedly from suicide. There was suspicion that he had misappropriated funds from the Trans Caspian Railway.9 At the time he was a member of the Imperial Military Council in St. Petersburg.</p>‎

‎Die Beziehungen Herzog Albrechts von Preussen zu Städten, Bürgertum und Adel im westlichen Preussen (1525-1554) Regesten aus dem Herzoglichen Briefarchiv und den Ostpreussischen Folianten. (Veröff. aus d. Archiven preussischen Kulturbesitz 48,1+2) 2 Bde.‎

‎Köln: Böhlau 2006. XVIII, 1679 S., 14 schw. -w. Abb. auf 8 Taf. Reg. Gr 8° Kst.Ln. Das preußische Herzogliche Briefarchiv beherbergt einen der bedeutendsten deutschen Quellenbestände der Reformationszeit, von dem nun ein weiteres Teilstück erschlossen wird. Die beiden Bände enthalten rund 4000 Briefregesten aus einem Zeitraum von drei Jahrzehnten, beginnend nach der Umwandlung des preußischen Deutschordenslandes in ein weltliches Herzogtum bis zum Tode des Danziger Bürgermeisters Johann von Werden, eines der bedeutendsten Briefpartner Herzog Albrechts. In ihrer Themenvielfalt dokumentieren die Schreiben nicht nur Nachrichten über das Herzogtum und dessen Einwohner, sondern auch die an Albrecht gelangten Nachrichten aus ganz Europa und von anderen Erdteilen.‎

‎Der vorliegende Band erfasst in rund 770 Regesten die Korrespondenz Herzog Albrechts, seiner Räte und "heimgelassenen Regenten" mit seinem Bruder Erzbischof Wilhelm von Riga, dessen Koadjutor Christoph von Mecklenburg, dem Rigaer Domkapitel, dem Livländischen Ordensmeister und späteren Herzog von Kurland Gotthard Kettler und vor allem mit König Sigismund II. August von Polen, dessen Wort entscheidendes Gewicht in Livland gewann. Aber auch der Briefwechsel mit anderen Machtfaktoren, die die Geschicke dieser Region beeinflussten, wie dem Moskauer Großfürsten und Zaren Iwan IV., dem schwedischen König Erich XIV., den Ständen des Heiligen Römischen Reiches oder den Städten Riga und Reval, hat hier seinen Niederschlag gefunden. Im Mittelpunkt der Schriftwechsel stehen die Auflösung des livländischen Ordensstaates und die dadurch verursachte völlige machtpolitische Umgestaltung dieser Region, die sich in verhältnismäßig kurzer Zeit vollzog und Verhältnisse schuf, die mit den jahrhundertelang bestehenden Gegebenheiten nur noch wenig gemein hatten.‎
