About Hermann Burte and the Bibliographic Institute (source: wikipedia):

Herman Burte (* 15. February 1879 in Maulburg as Hermann Strübe; † 21 March 1960 in Lörrach) was a German poet, writer and painter. His best-known literary works include the novel Wiltfeber, published in 1912, The Eternal German, and the tragedy Katte, published in 1914. Burte is best known as an Alemannic dialect poet. Burte had been an advocate of völkisch ideology since 1912 at the latest and later a supporter of National Socialist ideas.

Life: Hermann Strübe's father Friedrich Strübe (1842-1912) was a clerk, his mother Elisabeth, née Kuhny, (1847-1917) temporarily ran a small shop. Her son Hermann attended elementary school in Maulburg and higher public school in Schopfheim. In 1896 the family moved to Lörrach, and in 1897 Strübe passed his Abitur at the Oberrealschule in Freiburg im Breisgau. After that, he first attended the Kunstgewerbeschule in Karlsruhe, where he won several prizes. Then, like his younger brother Adolf Strübe later, he studied at the Karlsruhe Art Academy with Ludwig Schmid-Reutte (1863–1909). From 1900 to 1904, Strübe taught by the hour at the School of Applied Arts. For his achievements he received a scholarship to study in England.

Through close contact with English literature, especially with William Shakespeare, John Milton and William Wordsworth, Strübe was drawn more and more to poetry, without giving up painting entirely. During a subsequent stay in Paris in 1905 he took part in a German competition for a "folk novel" with the fragment "The Blonde Devil" and won a consolation prize. Strübe then decided to become a writer and chose the name of his first protagonist as a pseudonym.

Jeremias Gotthelf, Friedrich Nietzsche and Carl Spitteler were Hermann Burte's literary role models. The ideological influence of Nietzsche and the "völkisch movement" is - like the general mood in the German-völkisch cultural scene at the end of the Wilhelmine era - already in the novel Wiltfeber the eternal German. The Story of a Home Seeker (1912) unmistakable. In it, Burte wrote, among other things: "You are a man of German blood, but German means folkish, and Aryan means imperious...".[1] This book was a resounding success and, according to Ernst Klee, became the "cult book of the folkish youth movement".[2] In 1941 the poet commented on his Wiltfeber in Lebende Dichter um den Oberrhein p. 356: "This first notion of the swastika as the symbol of salvation of power has become radiant truth in Germany and before the world today." Prize awarded for 1912.

The Central Office for Foreign Service, a propaganda agency of the German Empire, founded shortly after the beginning of the First World War, led Hermann Strübe in 1916 as an employee in the reconnaissance service.

Burte quickly became an advocate of völkisch ideology and ultimately also a supporter of National Socialism, which he increasingly allowed himself to be absorbed by after 1933. The swastika appeared as a "Germanic" symbol of salvation in Wiltfeber as early as 1912, long before Hitler and without any connection to a political party.[5] In 1925 he had a desk with a swastika motif made according to his own design.[6][7] In 1931, while still a German nationalist, he wrote verses of dedication to a political leader under the title Der Führer, whom he later wanted to be understood as Adolf Hitler and which he later had reprinted in Buhner's anthology Dem Führer.

From 1924 to 1932, Burte contributed to the weakening of the Weimar Republic and its institutions as co-editor and key contributor to the fortnightly German-nationalist magazine Der Markgräfler in Lörrach. That was e.g. B. the motto of the 15th January 1925: "The Markgräfler fights ruthlessly and without fear of man the democratic parliamentarism (...)."

As a German nationalist with a strong religious background, Burte initially had an ambivalent attitude towards National Socialism and expressed reservations. The churchgoer Strübe-Burte wrote sarcastically on April 12. June 1933 to his fellow party member Herman Nohl: "Among the Jewish books that will be almost officially burned next Sunday in Karlsruhe, the Bible is missing!"[8] (Letter exhibited in the special exhibition "Hermann Burte and National Socialism" in the Museum am Burghof, Loerrach)

Burte was a member of the DNVP from 1919 until the party dissolved itself in June 1933.[9] In January 1936, just in time before he was awarded the first Johann Peter Hebel Prize on 10 May, Burte applied for admission to the NSDAP, – (entry: 1. April 1936, membership number: 3734637). In his work Sieben Reden (1943), Burte paid tribute to Schiller, Grabbe and Hebe, and the poet Adolf Bartels, a self-confessed anti-Semite. But Burte also praised Hitler with hymns.[10] The "Führer" thanked the 65th Birthday with 15,000 Reichsmarks.

Burte didn't even shy away from spy reports to the security service of the Reichsfuhrer SS (SD).[13] In August 1944, in the final phase of the Second World War, Adolf Hitler included him in the God-gifted list of the most important writers.

After the end of the Second World War and nine months of internment in Lörrach prison, he had to give up his right to live in the "Flachsländer Hof" and stayed with friends in Efringen-Kirchen, where he remained until 1958. In the course of denazification in 1949, Hermann Strübe was classified by the Freiburg Arbitration Chamber for Political Cleansing as "less incriminated". A two-year probation period was imposed on him and he was also banned from political activities. During this time he worked primarily as a translator of French poems. He was then an honorary member of the right-wing extremist Deutsches Kulturwerk Europäische Geist.[3][14] His last volume of poetry, Stirn unter Sternen, once again contained a number of poems whose interpretation was the subject of controversial debate, such as Deutscher Wille, which can be interpreted revisionistically.[15] During the last years of his life he lived in his birthplace Maulburg. Burte died in Lörrach at the age of 81 from a liver disease; his burial took place in Maulburg.

Work: As a painter and as a poet, Burte had the same goal in mind: shaping the landscape and the people, their imprint through the homeland from which they grow. His poems in Alemannic dialect are juxtaposed with the paintings, for which he was primarily inspired by the landscape of the Markgräflerland, but with which he also documented the changes and destruction of this landscape through industrial development.

What remains are Burte's Alemannic poems, with which he gained a reputation as the most influential poet in the Alemannic language after Johann Peter Hebe, while his confession document Wiltfeber with its "völkisch-racial[n] argumentation with magical-religious implications"[16] as well as his stage plays almost are forgotten. His paintings also attract attention, although Burte himself always rated his poetic work higher than his paintings.

When commissioned to create an opera libretto from Eichendorff's novella Das Schloß Dürande, he was "obviously overwhelmed by developing the ambivalent characters of the story into opera characters of the same kind."

From 1946 onwards, a list of the literature to be sorted out, including supplements, was published in the Soviet occupation zone by 1953 in order to implement the “Orders of the military government”, “according to which all writings that have fascist or militaristic content, contain ideas about political expansion, are to be withdrawn from use represent National Socialist racial theory or turn against the Allies.”[18] Burte was represented six times on these lists: people and art in Markgräflerland from 1934; the selection Volk und Kunst as well as Vom Hofe, which was lost from 1935; Seven Speeches of 1943; Hermann Burte vs. John Masefield of 1944. The writing Zum 60. The poet's birthday, published by the Oberbadisches Volksblatt in 1939.

The use of the school name "Hermann-Burte-School" was prohibited in 1979 by the Freiburg School Authority in consultation with the Freiburg Regional Council as the upper legal supervisory authority of today's "Primary, Secondary and Real School Efringen-Kirchen". In a press release on this decision, it was stated that "Hermann Burte's work contains strong nationalistic, brutally social Darwinistic and, last but not least, anti-Semitic passages, i.e. elements essentially rooted in National Socialist ideology. [...] Because not incidental and unique, but symptomatic and continuous parts in Hermann Burte's work are diametrically opposed to the educational mandate of the school, as laid down in the Basic Law, in the state constitution and in the school law."[20] The decision was public Discussions preceded,[21] in Efringen-Kirchen the gymnasium, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the school, was named after Burte instead. From 1989 there was a similar dispute in Müllheim over a street named after Burte. In the meantime, this street name was changed by municipal council decision of the city of Müllheim on 29. Changed again in November 2007. Streets are still named after him in Burte's birthplace, Maulburg, and in Efringen-Kirchen.

quotes

Quotations from Burte

In 1924, Hermann Burte conjured up the “Third Reich” under the headline “The coming Reich”:

"The German Reich of January 18, 1871 collapsed in world war and overthrow; it was replaced by the German Reich of November 9th, 1918. Its constitution, the Weimar, is actually ineffective today. The January eighteenth thesis wrestles with its November ninth antithesis; out of this struggle arises the synthesis of the coming kingdom! When nationalism has become social and socialism national, the power of the Third Reich will grow and remain.”

Hermann Burte: The coming kingdom. In: The Markgräfler. 4. April 1924.

Burte the "war declarer in permanence" (Adolf von Grolman in: being and word on the Upper Rhine. p. 207) summarized in his poem "Deutscher Wille":

"... We do not think of war and fire and murder;/ We no longer consider ourselves to be exquisite./ Everyone continues to work in their place/ Patiently, faithfully, as if nothing had happened!..."

Hermann Burte: Forehead under stars, p. 85; Burda, Offenburg, 1957.

Voices about Burte

The editor Erich Wirsig wrote about "Burte in the spiritual war front":

"There are only a few poets in the Reich who are as representative and active in the war effort of the intellectual front of our people as Hermann Burte. It is no coincidence that he is to be found in the present with an unprecedented dedication in the front row of those personalities of German intellectual life who are waging the intellectual battle, but corresponds to the law of probation, calling and achievement, and the knowledge that only Spirit and sword guarantee our people victory over the powers of lack of culture. (...)”

Erich Wirsig: Burte in the intellectual war front. In: Oberbadisches Volksblatt. 24. December 1942.

In 1924, in his extended Bestiary of Literature, Franz Blei characterized Burte as follows:

"THE BURTE. This is a Black Forest deer and a passionate loner. He wears his many-sided, in some places somewhat hooked antlers with great pride. He is extremely impressed by his strength. His voice is so strong that it can make its own echo seven times.”

Franz lead: The great bestiary of literature. Rowohlt, Berlin 1924.

Kurt Tucholsky already remarked about Burte in 1929:

"When baby finishes the ink bottle, give him a sheet of Hermann Burte's blotting paper to eat. Experience has shown that the little ones take this remedy with pleasure, and soaked adults often benefit from it too. Well-groomed children in middle-class households should take this cure from time to time - the little steppe you see here in the picture has not known what moisture is since he was born. No people without blotting paper! Hermann Burte & Hans Grimm, wholesale blotting paper.”

Kurt Tucholsky: The smile of the Mona Lisa. Rowohlt, 1929.

on the 10th On November 19, 1935, Thomas Mann wrote in his diary:

"Anger at the Alemannic gossip of the writer Burte, who demands understanding for Germany's 'rebirth'. It's too stupid. Where is something in and about Germany that a poet might feel and describe as 'rebirth'?”

Thomas Mann: Diaries 1935-1936. Fisherman, 1977.

The Minister of Education of Baden-Württemberg (1958-1964) Gerhard Storz commented on the problem of public honors in a letter to the editor as follows:

"I have to admit that I don't know Burte's books and therefore cannot assess his literary qualities and whether he should be regarded as a "Nazi poet" without further ado. That's why I asked the German Academy for Language and Poetry for an expert opinion when months ago I was suggested that Burte should be honored publicly. Because of the Academy's statement, I subsequently refrained from taking Allen steps in favor of Burte, and the state government then proceeded in the same way."

GERHARD STORZ: The mirror from 10. June 1959, pp. 10–11.

In 1959 Theodor Heuss refused to become an honorary citizen of Lörrach and justified it as follows:

"I definitely don't want to be put in the same row as this man of crude anti-Semitism and fuss-based nationalism, perhaps even see him as a fellow honorary citizen at some festival. He may be as gifted as a poet as many people seem to think he is. To single him out as the home figure next to the sensitively rationalistic Johann Peter Hebel is downright grotesque for my historical feeling. But I owe it to myself and my office, even if I no longer hold it, to keep my distance from this type. (...)”

The Bibliographic Institute is a German publishing house based in Berlin, which belongs to the Cornelsen group of companies. He is best known for encyclopedias such as Meyers Konversations-Lexikon and standard works on the German language such as the Duden. In the course of the division of Germany, two publishing houses operated under the same name.

History: The publishing house was founded on 1. Founded on August 1, 1826 by the merchant, translator and publicist Joseph Meyer (1796-1856) as a publishing house (as "an institute dedicated to literary purposes") in Gotha and later relocated to Hildburghausen. The original purpose of the founding was probably the establishment of a general bibliographic newspaper (as a weekly directory initially of all books, music, maps and works of art published in Germany, Switzerland, England, France, the Netherlands and Italy), which (parallel to the one not published by Meyer published but not self-published correspondence sheet for merchants. Weekly report from London, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Paris, Berlin etc. about goods, government paper, money and bills of exchange trade.) from 1. January 1827 should appear, but was not realized. In fact, the publishing company was founded on the successful realization of Meyer's next plan, a "Library of German Classics" in 150 volumes.[1] By publishing inexpensive classic editions from May 1827[2] and by new advertising and sales methods, Meyer won new groups of buyers and readers. In addition to the 52-volume Great Conversations Lexicon for the educated classes. In connection with statesmen, scholars, artists and technicians (1839-1856) and Meyer's conversation lexicon, other serial works such as Meyer's universe, Meyer's travel books, Meyer's atlases, Meyer's classic editions, Meyer's local and traffic lexicon, Sievers' general regional studies and Brehm's animal life were published. Under the management of his son Herrmann Julius Meyer, the company created by Joseph Meyer moved to Reudnitz (from 1889 a district of Leipzig) in 1874.

The "Orthographical Dictionary" published by Konrad Duden in 1880 formed the basis for a uniform German orthography. In 1915 the publishing house was converted into a public limited company. Until 1939, Councilor Curt Hillig was the chairman of the supervisory board.

Bibliographical Institute in the German Democratic Republic: After the expropriation in 1946, the publishing house was continued as VEB Bibliographical Institute Leipzig, on 1. Officially nationalized in July 1948 and converted into a state-owned company, with the production area being outsourced. Travel literature has increasingly become one of the publishing house's classic areas of business; In the 1950s, the Bibliographical Institute in Leipzig developed into the most important publisher of travel guides and hiking maps in the GDR. The publication series Our Little Hiking Booklet and The Good Hiking Map gained great popularity; in addition, road maps, home and hiking books, city maps of Leipzig and a car atlas of Germany were published, among other things.

In the course of the profiling of the GDR publishers, the production of the hiking maps was handed over to the VEB Landkartenverlag Berlin in 1960 and the publishing of the remaining travel literature to the VEB FA Brockhaus Verlag Leipzig in 1963. In 1964, the Enzyklopädie publishing house was organizationally attached to the Bibliographic Institute, but remained legally independent.

The lexicon editors of the VEB Bibliographic Institute continued to publish the Meyers lexicon series, including Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, Meyers Kleines Lexikon (3 volumes plus supplement, 1967 ff.), Meyers Neues Lexikon (18 volumes, 1971 ff.), Meyers Universallexikon ( 4 volumes, 1978 ff.) and Meyers Handlexikon.

Bibliographic Institute in the Federal Republic of Germany: In 1953, the former owners decided to move the registered office of the corporation to Mannheim in the Federal Republic of Germany, which was tantamount to founding the company again. In 1984, the two West German encyclopedia publishers "FA Brockhaus" and "Bibliografies Institut AG" merged to form the Bibliografies Institut & FA Brockhaus AG.

fusion and present : After reunification, in 1990 the East German publishing house was converted into the Bibliografies Institut & Verlag Enzyklopädie GmbH, and in 1991 it was taken over by the Bibliografies Institut & FA Brockhaus AG. In 2003, the publishing group took a stake in PAETEC Schulbuchverlag, which has operated as Duden Schulbuchverlag since 2009. In 2004 the Harenberg calendar and encyclopedia publishing house was taken over. At the end of 2008, the Bibliographic Institute with the brands Duden and Meyers withdrew from the area of ​​lexical reference works and separated from FA Brockhaus AG. Brockhaus-Verlag became the property of Wissensmedia GmbH. The Brockhaus trademark rights were sold.[3] In the spring of 2009, the Cornelsen publishing group acquired the majority shares in the Bibliographic Institute publishing house from Langenscheidt KG and the Brockhaus family.

After the last small shareholders were settled, the company was converted into a limited liability company (GmbH) in 2010. The remaining part of the company is continued to this day as Bibliographic Institute GmbH. In 2011, the publisher bundled the brands Duden, Meyers, Artemis & Winkler Verlag and Sauerländer, among others.

The archives of the Bibliographic Institute (before 1946), the VEB Bibliographic Institute (1946-1990) and the Bibliographic Institute & FA Brockhaus AG (Leipzig location, 1991-2009) are located in the Leipzig State Archive.

The children's and youth book division was sold to S. Fischer Verlag in Frankfurt am Main in early 2013. After the extensive relocation to the Berlin location in the spring of 2013, which was associated with job cuts, only the 20 jobs in the language technology division remained in Mannheim from the original 190 jobs.[5] In August 2013, it was announced that the language technology division would also be closed.[6] The Mannheim archive with publishing products since 1848 went on 16. May 2013 as a gift to the Mannheim University Library.

In the spring of 2013, the publishing house moved from Mannheim to the Treptow-Köpenick district of Berlin, as announced by the owner Cornelsen in July 2012.

on the 1st On January 1, 2016, the distribution of the Bibliographic Institute GmbH with its brands Duden, Cornelsen Scriptor, Meyers and Artemis & Winkler was combined with the distribution of the Cornelsen school publishers (Cornelsen early and school education, Lextra, Verlag an der Ruhr, Oldenbourg-Brigg education). of Cornelsen Verlag GmbH.
