Lexicon of persecuted musicians from the Nazi era
The Lexicon of Persecuted Musicians of the Nazi Era ( LexM ) is an online encyclopedia of the University of Hamburg that has been developed as a work in progress since 2005.
Publication / content
Today the editors are Sophie Fetthauer and Peter Petersen as well as Claudia Maurer Zenck (dormant). The LexM is located in the Music and Dictatorship Department as part of the Institute for Historical Musicology at the University of Hamburg. The LexM was initially created by the DFG , then by the Alfred Toepfer Foundation, the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation, the Mariann Steegmann Foundation, the Zeit Foundation and the Hamburg Authority for Science and Research promoted. It lists the professional musicians among the "victims of Nazi terror". The articles contain a biographical narrative as well as secured individual data on the biography, and the primary and secondary sources available are also given. Image, music and sound material are also offered. The texts can be used for programs, cover texts, etc. if the author and source are stated. The adoption of complete articles requires the consent of the authors.
technology
An independent web application based on the MyCoRe function core was developed for the LexM . The data model, appearance and research options were adapted to the requirements of an online dictionary. The application is hosted at the Regional Computing Center ( RRZ ) of the University of Hamburg.
