The History Association Markgräflerland eV is a regional history association that is dedicated to researching the history of the Markgräflerland .

Purpose of the association

“Research into the history of the Markgräflerland and its adjacent areas in all their branches, folklore and natural history, geology and genealogy. The interests of nature conservation and monument protection should also be promoted. "

Work area

In the preface to the first issue of the magazine “Das Markgräflerland”, Karl Seith defined the working group and the magazine more precisely. “The core of your work area is the Markgräflerland, that is, the area of ​​the three lords of Rötteln, Sausenberg and Badenweiler . Added to this are the district of the former episcopal Basel office of Schliengen and a number of smaller aristocratic lords that are scattered in between. This also includes the former imperial city of Neuchâtel on the Rhine . Along the eastern flank of the Markgräflerland lie the two old vaults of Todtnau and Schönau in the rear Wiesental, together with the two lords of Zell and Wehr . Their history should also find care in this magazine. "

Development of the name

Since it was founded in 1929, there have been several changes to the name and legal form.

  • Working group to maintain the local history of the Markgräflerland (1929–1955)
  • Markgräflerland working group for history and regional studies (1955–1966)
  • Markgräflerland Working Group for History and Regional Studies eV (1966–1990)
  • History Association Markgräflerland eV (since 1990)

history

precursor

In 1882 an antiquity association was founded in Lörrach, which collected historical exhibits for a local museum. The association was dissolved in 1915 and its work was continued by a local branch of the Badische Heimat regional association. Before the First World War, the Schopfheim women's association organized lecture evenings on local historical topics. In November 1913, the “Historical Association for the Markgräflerland and the Adjacent Areas” was founded in Schopfheim under the direction of the Schopfheim city pastor, Rudolf Faißt. This association published the magazine “Blätter aus der Margrafschaft” from 1915 to 1922, which was merged with the magazine “Badische Heimat” (“My home country”) in 1922. The association dissolved in 1927 after a last issue of the “Blätter aus der Margrafschaft” with the “History of the noble lords of Rötteln” by Otto Konrad Roller was published that year. In the meantime, the previous authors of the “Blätter aus der Margrafschaft” had found a platform for their contributions in the publications of the regional association “Badische Heimat” . The "Badische Heimat" dedicated its annual issue 1923 to the Markgräflerland and in 1926 published in its series Heimatblätter "Vom Bodensee zum Main" in number 28 the work of Karl Seith on the peasant war ( The Markgräflerland and the Markgräfler in the peasant war of 1525 ). However, the idea of ​​being able to unite all of Baden's historical associations under one roof failed due to different ideas about the goals and so the idea was to found an own organization again in Markgräflerland.

The "leaves from the margraviate" are available as digital copies from the Freiburg University Library .

Foundation and beginning

On April 3, 1929, the “Working Group to Maintain the Local History of the Markgräflerland” was founded in the “Zum Hirschen” inn in Haltingen . The founding members were four teachers, three pastors and a church council. (see founding members )

The main activity of the working group or the association was and is the publication of a local history magazine. In addition, study trips and conferences are organized that are also open to non-members. The destinations are places steeped in history in the Markgräflerland, the region bordering to the north, Switzerland or Alsace.

The working group also worked in the national socialist community's national socialist community “Strength through Joy” .

In 1944, the National Socialist Reich Governor Robert Wagner gave the order to stop the activities of all historical and antiquity associations. On September 23, 1944, Karl Seith announced the execution.

After the war

The French occupation authorities initially prohibited any activity by associations. Individual work on historical topics was also made more difficult because not only the archives in Basel and Colmar were located abroad, but also the archive in Karlsruhe ( American zone of occupation ). When associations were basically possible again in autumn 1946, the working group had the problem that it could not raise the three unencumbered members required to found it. The founding member Karl Herbster was always seen as unencumbered, but with his death in autumn 1948 there was again a lack of unencumbered people who could promote a new association. Karl Seith himself was active in teacher training during the reign of National Socialism and was only classified as a follower during the denazification process .

With their general meeting on December 3, 1950, the working group revived and Karl Seith acted again as organizer and editor. From 1951 Das Markgräflerland was published again on a regular basis. Since 1956 the working group has been called the Markgräflerland Working Group for History and Regional Studies . The working group was still not a registered association and there was no executive committee. Karl Seith attempted forays in this direction in 1936 and 1957, but it was not until after his death in 1963 that an association was founded in 1966 ( Arbeitsgemeinschaft Markgräflerland für Geschichte und Landeskunde eV ). With the distribution of the workload among several board members, the activities of the association increased. The conferences that were mostly canceled at the end of the Seith era have been resumed. The number of members reached the 1000 mark in 1974 and in 1997 there were 1,300 members. By September 2018, the membership had dropped to 780.

On September 30, 1990, the general meeting voted for the name of the association to be changed to “Geschichtsverein Markgräflerland eV”. Today the Markgräfler Geschichtsverein is also part of the history associations network .

Publications

The magazine Das Markgräflerland

The magazine was published from 1929 to 1936 with four issues per year. In 1937 the Reich Press Chamber ordered a reduction to 3 issues per year, which was implemented by merging issues 3 and 4 without reducing the annual volume of 128 pages. The 12th year appeared in 1941 with just two issues with a total of 64 pages. From 1951 to 2012 there were 2 issues per year. In 2013 and 2014 - for financial reasons - only one volume of the magazine "Das Markgräflerland" was published each year. In 2015, in addition to the annual volume as volume 2/2015, a special volume with the staged representation of The Markgräfler Peasant Uprising of 1524/25 was published .

As early as July 1930, the new magazine had over 500 subscribers. This exceeded the number that the magazine “Blätter aus der Margraviate”, which was regarded as its predecessor, had in the last issue.

The Röttelnbund eV and the Bürgelnbund eV occasionally used “Das Markgräflerland” to publish their club news.

When in 1968 the Hebelbund Müllheim was no longer able to finance the publication of its magazine Die Margrafschaft, the Hebelbund became co-editor of the magazine Das Markgräflerland until 1980 .

The entire volumes of the journal are available as digital copies up to volume 2/2007 at the Freiburg University Library . The project was supported by the district of Lörrach ("Fonds Schlossgut Istein" to promote culture) .

Ortssippen- / Ortsfamilie books

Together with the “ Genealogical-Heraldic Society of the Basel Regio (GHGRB) ”, the history association runs the Markgräfler Familiennamesbuch (MFNB) project , within the framework of which a number of local family / local clan books have been published.

Markgräfler yearbook

The Markgräfler Jahrbuch was initiated by Karl Seith, Hermann Burte, Ernst Grether and Otto Reinacher. These people saw themselves with their project in the tradition of Hebels with his " Rhineland house friend " and Hermann Albrechts with his "s Gotte-Stuebli. An Upper Rhine Yearbook " .

The yearbook was first published in 1939, but had to be discontinued after the second year due to the general lack of paper. The yearbook was then published again in 1954 and 1962.

The 1939 yearbook was already heavily influenced by the National Socialists . Ernst Krieck - one of the leading National Socialist educationalists - delivered z. B. a longer article on "National Political Education".

“The Markgräfler Jahrbuch 1940/41 has become a war book.” The contributions were intended to increase the Markgräfler's will to fight. The NSDAP district leader, Rudolf Allgeier, wrote "... then everyone will know that the purpose of this war is to secure the life of German people."

All volumes of the yearbook are available as digital copies from the Freiburg University Library .

Further publications

At Christmas 1942 and 1943 the working group published the “ Markgräfler Heimatbriefe. To the sons in the field ”on behalf of the district leader and Nazi war criminal , Hugo Grüner . The compilation of the booklets was carried out by the head of the district culture department, Otto Reinacher. This publication was also about the preservation of the military will.

The Markgräfler Heimatbriefe 1942-1943 are available as digital copies from the Freiburg University Library .
