Freigeist | Weimar

Freigeister: Hegel, Goethe, and Wieland The late 18th and early 19th centuries in Germany were a time of great intellectual and cultural ferment. This period, often referred to as the German Enlightenment, witnessed the rise of what were known as "Freigeister" or free spirits. Among the most prominent figures associated with this intellectual movement were Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and Christoph Martin Wieland. The term "Freigeister" can be translated as "free spirits" or "freethinkers," and it captures the essence of the intellectual and philosophical attitude of these individuals. They were characterized by a deep commitment to individualism, a rejection of traditional dogmas and conventions, and a passionate pursuit of knowledge, art, and personal expression. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a renowned philosopher, is perhaps best known for his work in developing the dialectical method and his influence on the philosophy of history. Hegel's ideas challenged established norms and offered a new perspective on the evolution of ideas and societies. He encouraged the questioning of traditional authority and the exploration of complex and abstract concepts, making him a quintessential Freigeist. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, often celebrated as one of the greatest literary figures in Western history, embodied the spirit of intellectual independence. His works, such as "Faust" and "Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship," demonstrate a profound engagement with individualism, romanticism, and the rejection of conventional morality. Goethe's exploration of the human…

Give Peace A Chance …

Wenn Butcher und Killer und brutale Moerder in Medien Freiheitskaempfer genannt werden, ob IS oder Hamas oder andere Wahnsinnige dieser Art, die Religion nie verstanden haben, aber blinden Hass mit der Muttermilch aufgesogen haben und in sicherlich unvorstellbaren Verhaeltnissen aufwachsen und leben, dann bleibt uns in Deutschland oder Australien nur die Luft weg zum Atmen, aber aendern koennen wir nichts, gar nichts! Das belastet und beschaeftigt uns, aber Ohnmacht laesst uns schweigen, bis wir uns wieder besonnen haben. Butcher bleiben Butcher … und sie koennen nicht gerettet werden (Goethe | Faust).

Mutter Erde weint …

Screenshot #phb All We Need Is Love & Give Peace A Chance (John Lennon) Die Liebe ist wie ein Feuer. Sie wärmt uns und erhellt uns. Sie brennt in unseren Herzen und Seelen. Sie entzündet unsere Leidenschaft und Begeisterung. Die Liebe ist wie das Wasser. Sie erfrischt uns und reinigt uns. Sie fließt in unseren Adern und Tränen. Sie nährt unsere Gefühle und Gedanken. Die Liebe ist wie der Wind. Sie bewegt uns und berührt uns. Sie weht in unseren Haaren und Lächeln. Sie trägt unsere Worte und Taten. Die Liebe ist wie Mutter Erde. Sie stützt uns und ernährt uns. Sie wächst in unseren Händen und Küssen. Sie schenkt uns Früchte und Blumen. Die Liebe ist wie der Himmel. Sie erhebt uns und beschützt uns. Sie leuchtet in unseren Augen und Sternen. Sie schickt uns Träume und Wunder. In Nature's arms, the Earth doth weep,Her rivers mourn, her forests deep.For in the chaos, strife, and pain,She longs for peace to reign again. "Give peace a chance," she softly sings,As tears of joy from Heaven's springs,Fall down like gentle summer rain,To cleanse the wounds of hurt and pain. In the spirit of John Lennon's song,"All you need is love," we all belong.Let love unite, let hate depart,And heal the world, a brand new start. So, let's embrace the peaceful dove,And heed the call from up above,For Mother Earth and all her…

Some date back to when I first started to write, which was when I was 21, up until now. This is not the whole lot, there are a few I have written that are not in this collection. I would like to say that my poems can come to me at any time and that's how all of these poems were created. I just start with a blank piece of paper, and a pen, and then all of a sudden my muse jumps on my shoulder and usually I keep writing then a second line…

Back in my Backyard …

With the Love Of My Life Maria Ines and her beautiful family ... I need you by my side, Darling Pretty! With my greetings and best wishes yours Peter #phb German immigration into Australia has a rich history with several key points of interest: Early Settlement: German immigration to Australia began in the 19th century, with the first significant wave occurring in the 1830s. Many German immigrants settled in South Australia, attracted by promises of land and religious freedom. South Australian Influence: The Barossa Valley in South Australia is particularly famous for its German heritage. German settlers introduced vineyards and winemaking traditions that continue to thrive today. Language and Culture: German immigrants brought their language and culture with them. German-speaking schools and churches were established, helping to preserve their cultural identity. Contributions to Agriculture: German settlers made significant contributions to Australian agriculture. They introduced innovative farming techniques, such as the use of windmills and advanced agricultural machinery. World Wars Impact: During World War I and World War II, anti-German sentiment led to the persecution of German-Australians. Some German place names were changed, as mentioned earlier, to avoid associations with the enemy. Post-War Immigration: After World War II, Australia actively recruited skilled immigrants, including Germans, to contribute to the country’s growth and development. Cultural Heritage: Today, German-Australians maintain their cultural heritage through festivals, clubs, and cultural organizations. Oktoberfest celebrations and traditional German…
