The founder of the first independent and non-state-funded research institute for prehistory and early history in Germany in 1921, the UFI in Tübingen, Robert Rudolf Schmidt, deserves to be looked at again for a key phase of his life after his dismissal from university service in the spring of 1934 that has received little attention to date. And this despite the fact that his person has already been assessed several times from an academic perspective. New documents from private archives supplement his researcher CV and are suitable for re-examining narratives about his person that have already been presented from a different perspective. This applies in particular to the excavation he carried out in the Palaeolithic caves of Mauern near Rennertshofen in Bavaria, which had previously eluded closer scrutiny. During his scientific work in the 20th century, he was active in five political systems. In the German Empire (until 1918), in the Weimar Republic (until 1933), in National Socialism (until 1945), in the Allied period (until 1949) and in the last months of his life in the Federal Republic of Germany (from 1949), whose demands he faced and whose leeway he tried to utilise for his prehistoric research, but which he failed at several times.

This article investigates one stage in the career of Dr. Wilhelm Voss (1896-1974) who was a chartered accountant, manager of the Reichswerke "Hermann Göring" and armament adviser to the Egyptian government after World War II. During the Weimar republic Voss was a respected association official and chartered accountant without a political background. Between spring 1933 and autumn 1934 he integrated himself fast and successfully into the Nazi regime. The article explores Voss' actions, his motives and family background as well as professional points of contact to National Socialism. At the same time it reveals the difficult development of chartered accountancy as a profession in Germany around 1930 and attempts to professionalize the occupation by different individuals and organisations. This paper takes up new research approaches to the history of elites. The source material is evaluated on the four analysis levels of "authority", "situation", "profession" and "self-image". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Das Ziel des vorliegenden Aufsatzes besteht darin, die Hegel'sche Abstammung bestimmter Aspekte des dritten Teils des Sterns der Erlösung Franz Rosenzweigs zu analysieren. Dazu verfahre ich im ersten Teil biografisch und versuche, den Wert von Hegel und der Staat im Leben seines Autors wiederherzustellen. In diesem Sinne hinterfrage ich Nahum N. Glatzers Biografie von Rosenzweig sowie den Ausschluss der sogenannten 'Gritli'-Briefe aus der von Edith Rosenzweig für ihre Veröffentlichung ausgewählten Korrespondenz ihres Ehemannes, in welchen die positivsten Äuβerungen Rosenzweigs zu seinem Hegelbuch zu finden sind. Im zweiten Teil berücksichtige ich die Wirkungsgeschichte von Hegel und der Staat im Rahmen der Hegel-Forschung vom Erscheinen des Werkes bis in die 1970er Jahre. Damit versuche ich zu beweisen, dass das Hegelbuch Rosenzweigs eine bedeutende Wirkung hatte, bevor die Rosenzweig-Experten dieses Werk zu untersuchen begannen. Auβerdem zeigt die Betrachtung dieser ersten Rezeption vom Hegelbuch Rosenzweigs, dass die in ihm dargestellte theologisch-politische Andeutung des Verhältnisses von Vernünftigkeit und Wirklichkeit bei Hegel immer eine wichtige Rolle spielte. Am Ende der Arbeit verbinde ich diese Andeutung mit dem christlichen Weg zur Erlösung als Ergänzung des jüdischen noch-nicht-geschehenen Ereignisses der Versöhnung bei Rosenzweig. Damit wird beleuchtet, dass Rosenzweig und Hegel darin übereinstimmen, dass das Problem der Neuzeit in der Entzweiung besteht bzw. dass sie der gleichen Frage entgegentraten, und zwar aus sehr ähnlichen geistigen Entwicklungen, nämlich aus einer existenziellen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Gnostizismus.
