When in 2015/16 around 890,000 asylum seeking migrants moved to Germany, rural regions came to the attention of science and politics as possible places of accommodation and long-term integration. Public debates highlighted certain structural factors such as more relaxed housing markets as advantages of rural regions, but also social aspects such as the social density of rural communities was brought to the fore. This however stood in contrast to assumptions that few diversity and a rather conservative rural population could hamper place-making processes of refugees. Based on a heuristic model of local receptivity, this paper conducts a comparative case study on the reception of refugees in Germany. The empirical comparison highlights the range of local resources and resource utilisation and finds correlations with the peripherality of the municipalities on the one hand, and the demographic structure, political culture and social climate on the other. In addition to typical fields of integration such as education, housing and the labour market, the contribution finds the development of personal ties between refugees and the local population as crucial for successful integration. Volunteer work played a decisive role in this, and it also had a socially integrative effect on the local population. The article therefore argues for a broader understanding of community-oriented work by and with refugees, through which their potential for local development can be unlocked. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A Dirty Business. This paper explores the relationship between dirt, gender, and hierarchies in labour contexts based on the example of early modern maids. Using the instruments of historical discourse analysis, it probes how the understanding of dirt in the late Middle Ages around 1500 differs from that of around 1700. Besides gender and labour, one reference point of the search for traces in normative sources is the body as an intersection of diverse categories and an incorporator of dirt. Two opposing movements accompany the shift of dirt from an external stain to an internal essence. While normative theological or lordly sources pushed maids from the interior of households to the exterior of cities, dirt slowly inscribed itself into the maids’ bodies and helped establish a hierarchical labour regime that viewed female labour as inferior because it was performed by women.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, urbanites' outmigration to Japan's rural areas received considerable media attention. However, outmigration from urban areas is small and not evenly distributed across prefectures in Japan, with prefectures in peripheral locations receiving fewer migrants than those closer to urban centers. This paper analyzes the representation of rural spaces in recruitment strategies, promotional activities, and information events conceptualized and organized by two such peripheral prefectures, Saga and Ōita in Kyushu, to understand the role of these representations in the inter-prefectural competition for new residents. Based on the analysis of promotional videos published online by both prefectures, it was found that despite recent changes in rural Japan the promotional videos published by Saga and Ōita prefectures portray the two prefectures as a »rural idyll,« rather than as innovative, open, and diverse. In this way, the promotional materials echo older discourses about rural areas from the fields of tourism, consumerism, and the media, which portray rural Japan as an idealized but homogeneous space. Since the representations of the two prefectures differed only slightly and could hardly be distinguished from each other, it is questionable whether these materials can help potential new residents make an informed decision before moving.

Eating Meat in Times of Crisis: Vienna's Meat Supply During the Gründerkrise. This paper raises the question as to whether the great depression after 1873 had a direct impact on meat supply and consumption in Vienna. Based on newspaper articles, official statistics, municipal records, and consumption figures, this article will analyse the mechanisms of the market and supply system, and the influence of political regulation pre- and post-1873. In so doing, this paper will present a food-centred approach to topics regarding economic history, and it will further shed light on the immediate effects of crises on urban ways of living and supply mechanisms at the end of the nineteenth century.

In this paper, we explore the geolinguistic relationship between urban and rural areas through the conceptualisation and modeling of spatial topologies. Geolinguistic topologies concern the structure of the mutual linguistic relationship between localities. They can be defined either deductively or on the basis of empirical data and represent the linguistic similarities or distances between localities. We operationalise and apply several such topological models to Austrian data from the Atlas zur deutschen Alltagssprache (AdA), a linguistic atlas documenting colloquial German using crowd-sourcing methods. The results are evaluated on the basis of statistical examination and of visualisations of the topological relationships predicted by the models. It is confirmed that linguistic similarity is determined both by geographical distance and by the distribution of population, but the exact relationship is complex: Not only do smaller geographic distances on the one hand and higher population numbers on the other hand bring about increased linguistic similarity; the relevance of these two factors for linguistic similarity varies with population size, too, such that linguistic relationships between cities are determined more by their size and less by their distance, while for smaller locations the opposite is true. Hence, no single topological model can be identified as superior; instead, the individual models emphasise different aspects of the linguistic relationship between urban and regional language usage.

The paper discusses a set of etchings depicting different buildings in Gdansk (Danzig) and different parts of the city, first published in 1617. The artist was the little known Ægidius Dickman, active in Gdánsk and probably also in the Netherlands in the first quarter of the 17th century. In the same year that these etchings were published, Dickman also finished a large birds-eye view of Gdánsk. The set of town views and the panorama were both republished by Claes Janszoon Visscher in 1625. The author of the article discusses the relationship between Dickman and Visscher and their collaboration on this project, as well as their wider artistic relationship. Dickman seems to have been trained in the Netherlands, the etchings proving his familiarity with Visscher's topographical prints. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines how the citizens of Elbing defined the political position of their city in the Polish-Lithuanian unitary state at the turn of the eighteenth century. In the course of the Great Northern War, they saw their own city, like Danzig and Thorn, threatened by Swedish troops. The Brandenburg elector Friedrich III also occupied the trading city in 1698 as a pledge, because a payment owed by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which had been stipulated in the treaties of Wehlau and Bromberg (1657), had not been made. As the poorest of the three large cities, Elbing had the fewest resources and was thus in the weakest position to defend itself. In order to comprehend how the people of Elbing positioned their city within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth statements made by the citizens concerning external political actors-the Polish state and its dignitaries on the one hand, and the Brandenburg elector on the other-are examined. These include reports about Brandenburg's occupation of Elbing, books detailing the negotiations of the council and the citizens, as well as letters addressed to the states of Poland-Lithuania, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Elector of Brandenburg. It is not surprising that the citizens of Elbing continued to see their city's membership to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth as the basis of their political existence. The emphasis of this connection changed, however, when the people of Elbing saw themselves as threatened by the Brandenburg und Swedish troops. While, in the centuries before this, the three major Prussian cities of Danzig, Thorn and Elbing had stressed that they belonged to the king rather than to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, now, in view of the threats, the council and citizens of Elbing began to emphasize that they belonged to the Commonwealth. This indicates that the Prussian states in the eighteenth century were not characterized exclusively by particularism. Rather, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the citizens of Elbing moved closer to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent discussions on urban governance regularly emphasize a trend towards an “entrepreneurialization” which is said to be reflected in a growing importance of local and regional scales, an increased relevance of partnerships and the strategic positioning of localities in an environment of intensified place-competition. Building a case study in six medium-sized German cities that are characterized by economic losses and population decline, the article discusses different trajectories of local governance. First, it shows that the actual modes of local governance gain importance. Second, it shows that the actual local modes of governance are fairly different among the cases studied. Therefore, many localities are more dependent on resources from the national government than on private investment, lending more significance to public-public cooperation than to public-private cooperation. Third, the paper argues that the ability to implement long-term local development strategies is severely complicated by a dependence on external resources. As a consequence, short-term project-orientation prevails in the majority of cases. The paper focuses on these different experiences and discusses implications for the analysis of urban governance in peripheralized cities and regions.

In recent years, municipal economic activities have undergone considerable changes. Particularly due to market access liberalization in many fields, services of general economic interest are no longer part of the undisputed realm of official bodies. Dividing tasks between privately owned, profit-oriented enterprises and public authorities has become a fundamental issue of governance. Moreover, static and fixed notions of how to assign responsibilities in these sectors may be not sufficiently resilient to respond to dynamic effects such as the volatility of markets. The paper discusses the inherent difficulties by drawing on a controversy in Germany in the field of waste management. German waste management law has long departed from just curbing risks that typically result from unorganized waste disposal. Pursuant to the Waste Disposal and Recycling Management Act of 1996, German waste disposal policies follow two equally important objectives. First, legal provisions are designed to ensure orderly waste disposal by public authorities, in practice by municipalities and local communities. Alongside this classic end of waste management regulation, the Waste Disposal and Recycling Management Act establish a system that is meant to allow for and encourage waste recycling. Under the current regime, privately owned companies are entitled to handle waste materials that could be utilized for any substantial purpose other than just disposal. One of the dividing lines between those two areas is drawn by Sec. 13 of the Waste Disposal and Recycling Management Act. The provision stipulates that waste collected from private households has to be ceded to "public disposal bodies", e.g. to municipalities. However, this obligation ("Überlassungspflicht") does not apply to cases in which (1) household waste can be properly disposed of by commercial collection, and (2) „predominant public interests" do not require transferral to public disposal bodies (Sec. 13 subsec. 3 No 3 Waste Disposal and Recycling Management Act). Since the price for wood has been rising over the last decade, profit-oriented companies have found it economically attractive to collect waste paper even from households, thereby reducing the margins of municipal waste disposal entities. Jurisprudence on the interpretation of the semantically vague language of the act ("predominant public interests") varied heavily, until the German Federal Administrative Court recently ruled that it is the municipalities' near-exclusive responsibility to take care of household waste, including waste paper. Taking case law into account as well as the latest amendment of the European Waste Directive (2008/98/EC), the article addresses the implications of the controversy with respect to goods whose essential regulatory features depend on external factors such as unsteady markets.

Intelligence offices emerged in European urban centers beginning in the seventeenth century. Most were privately run institutions and procured work, goods, real estate, and capital. They registered requests in protocol ledgers and sometimes published them in advertising papers. The registration procedures that intelligence offices imposed on job seekers contributed to surveillance and disciplinary power. The data stored by information offices were coveted by the authorities, and in some cases, the existence of intelligence offices inspired far-reaching fantasies of control that aimed to transform them into registration or credit information offices.

This paper addresses personal implication into three fundamental catastrophes of the 20th century. While these are disjunctive, they are nevertheless interconnected. Such interconnection is demonstrated and exemplifi ed here by germane episodes of the author’s own life and family experience. Her Jewish South African background lets her probe into the remnants of a Palestinian village buried beneath a “South African” Forest in Israel, for which she once raised money as a child; brings her to the small town in Upper Hesse whence her grandmother made a narrow escape to South Africa from Nazi terror; and confronts her with the blank space of what once was Cape Town’s sprawling District Six which lies in the vicinity of where she lives and from where the inhabitants were deported by the Apartheid regime. All three spaces have in common that what makes them important in this refl ection has been obliterated by force and political fi at. In recounting her own experience, including the making of a fi lm on the three contexts, the author traces ways to retrieve mnemonic traces, on a personal level and beyond. At the same time, she demonstrates entanglements of complicity in the processes addressed that any serious treatment has to confront. Such engagement is set against the simplistic and destructive answers to complicity and complexity, ethno-nationalism and identity politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to analyze administrative-territorial reforms in Estonia, the comparative analysis of the public administration reforms in the Baltic Sea region, to formulate principles and purposes of the administrative-territorial reform in Estonia. An administrative-territorial reform has been topical since in the Estonia regained its independence but there are virtually no results. In 1995, a law was passed granting the Government the right to take decisions on the country's administrative-territorial division. Both the local authorities and the central government can initiate changes in the administrative-territorial division. A public opinion poll must be conducted before any decision on changes can be taken, although the Government is not bound by the results of the opinion poll. By the spring of 2009, there were 227 local governments in Estonia, including 194 rural municipalities and 33 cities. The administrative-territorial organisation of Estonia needs changing. The average population of Estonian rural municipalities is less than 2,500 people and, in spite of mergers, there are still inexpedient units where the centrally located settlement is separated from its hinterland in administrative terms. However, one must be objective when preparing and carrying out the administrative-territorial reform. The often expressed opinion that decreasing the number of rural municipalities would result in retrenchment of resources in terms of the number of local officials and administrative costs is misleading.

The article focuses on the unclear transition of the German towns Ostheim, Sondheim, Stetten, and Urspringen from Thuringian to Bavarian administration in 1945 and questions the legal basis for this transition. Topics include the historical context of the towns' status, the role of the American occupation in reshaping administrative boundaries, and the legal implications of the occupation's actions in light of international law and existing German legal structures.

Peter Marcuse war ein wichtiger Autor in der internationalen kritischen Stadt- und Wohnforschung. Seine Arbeiten, u. a. zu Gentrifizierung und Wohnungspolitik, boten immer wieder Anknüpfungspunkte auch für soziale städtische Bewegungen in New York, Berlin und anderen Städten. Anlässlich seines Todes im März 2022 diskutieren vier renommierte Wissenschaftler:innen über sein Werk und dessen Bedeutung für ihr eigenes Schaffen und für aktuelle Kämpfe für ein Recht auf Stadt und ein Recht auf Wohnen. Peter Marcuse was an important author in international critical urban and housing research. His works, among others on gentrification and housing policy, repeatedly offered points of departure for social urban movements in New York, Berlin and other cities. On the occasion of his death in March 2022, four renowned scholars discuss his work and its significance for their own thinking and for current struggles for a right to the city and a right to housing.
