The once-heated controversies about the history of the East German state and its legacy in the post-unification years have finally come to an end, some historians of the GDR have recently emphasized. Picking up on this cue, this forum enquires how a potential new openness might shape historians’ research agendas in the mid-term future. To make such predictions, we start by reflecting on our own intellectual formation and how we became interested in the histories of the GDR. We then discuss some of the latest developments in the field before sketching out pathways for future research. These observations and predictions are necessarily subjective. We do not aim at a comprehensive overview but want to provide a snapshot of the diversity in the field and its various generational expressions, highlighting new trends.

Classical music is universal, or is it? Kira Thurman’s Singing Like Germans: Black Musicians in the Land of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms reveals how the answer to this question depends on who is listening, who is performing and even who is mediating classical music performances. Thurman sets the musical record straight on the German classical repertoire, unmasking the persistence of racial thinking and racism that pervades music discourses and informs the reception of black musicians’ performances in predominantly white spaces throughout Central Europe. In the reception of their concerts and acts, black musicians are either whitewashed—they are perceived as not so black after all—to assimilate them into a constructed elite white European and, more specifically, German national culture, or they are rendered naturally talented with their abilities deemed a product of their race and racial history. As such, Thurman examines how black musicians’ performances resonate with white listeners who espouse the universality of German classical music, while they simultaneously engage in processes of gendered racialization that have their roots in colonialism, nationalism and biological racism. Race, despite claims to the contrary, is at the very heart of the reception of black musicians’ performances of German classical music throughout Central Europe, and it is documented in reviews that render the sound of singers’ voices in colour (blue, black, brown) and that use language to naturalize their talents as something inherent or even primitive.

Abstract To ‘pass on a bit of recent history’, members of Hamburg’s vice police, or Sitte, gradually assembled a six-volume chronicle covering the period 1945 to 1982. The authors documented promotions, retirements, joint trips and work parties, but they also recorded the work of the department, illustrated through case notes and commentary on pimping, prostitution, pornography, drug use, paedophilia and incest. This article examines the treatment and depiction of commercial sex and pimping from the 1950s into the early 1980s. Central here is an investigation of the portrayals of ‘pimp’ violence towards women who sold sex, viewed alongside allusions to and evidence of police violence. A further focus is the presentation of and relationship with women who sold sex in Hamburg, with particular reference to police commentary regarding their race, sexuality and gender identity. The article also explores descriptions in the chronicle of so-called ‘transvestite’ prostitution. The authors of the chronicle repeatedly allude to sexual liberalization in West German society at large. Their entries are crafted with a reader in mind as they relate the actions of officers and subjects to changing views on sexuality. This article thus also analyses police engagement with processes of sexual liberalization and the implications for the role of the vice police in West Germany.

In 1913, in honour of the kaiser’s silver jubilee, a group of secular colonial advocates organized a national fundraising campaign to raise money for Germany’s missionary societies. The nationalist motivations of this campaign ran counter to the theological and ideological self-conception of the missionaries, especially the leadership of Germany’s Protestant missions. Despite the ambivalence of the campaign’s declared beneficiaries, the Nationalspende zum Kaisersjubiläum für die christlichen Missionen in den deutschen Kolonien und Schutzgebieten proved to be a definitive success. Organizers mobilized national sentiment and generated a significant infusion of resources into Germany’s mission movement. The Nationalspende’s ulterior motive, drawing the internationalist and independent missions into a secular, nationalist colonial program, was also successful. In the aftermath of the Nationalspende, Germany’s formerly anti-nationalist Protestant mission movement came under new leadership, which began linking the missions more closely to Germany’s secular colonial movement. This article traces the history of the Nationalspende and places it in the context of competition between secular and religious impulses (and their organizational advocates) within Germany’s colonial movement before the First World War.
1913年，为了纪念德皇登基50周年，一群世俗殖民主义倡导者组织了一场全国性的筹款活动，为德国的传教团体筹集资金。这场运动的民族主义动机与传教士的神学和意识形态自我概念背道而驰，尤其是德国新教传教的领导层。尽管该运动宣布的受益者存在矛盾心理，但事实证明，国家支出zum Kaisersjubiläum fr die christlichen Missionen in den deutschen Kolonien und Schutzgebieten取得了决定性的成功。组织者调动了民族情绪，并为德国的传教运动注入了大量资源。国民支出的别有用心，将国际主义和独立使命纳入世俗的民族主义殖民计划，也取得了成功。在国家开支之后，德国以前反民族主义的新教传教运动得到了新的领导，开始将传教与德国的世俗殖民运动更紧密地联系起来。本文追溯了国家支出的历史，并将其置于第一次世界大战前德国殖民运动中世俗和宗教冲动(及其组织倡导者)之间竞争的背景下。
