Raimund Friedrich Kaindl
Raimund Friedrich Kaindl (born August 31, 1866 in Czernowitz ; † March 14, 1930 in Graz ) was an old Austrian historian and ethnologist . He dealt with the history of the Germans in East Central Europe , especially in the Carpathian Mountains , and coined the term Carpathian Germans . Further focal points of his research were the history and ethnology of the Poles , Ruthenians , Hutsuls and Czechs .
Life
Raimund Friedrich Kaindl was born into a Carpathian German family. His paternal grandfather was before 1820 Lower Austria mother, his grandfather Jacob Winkler from Frankfurt in the Bukovina immigrants. He reports that his father worked as a teacher, built a grinding mill and a tiled stove factory and was a lover of painting and music. He attended school in Chernivtsi and enrolled there at the Francisco Josephina University , founded in 1875, to study history, geography and German. After passing his teaching exams and completing his dissertation in 1891, he worked as a teacher in his hometown and after his habilitation in 1901 at the University of Czernowitz, he became an associate professor of Austrian history and in 1905 a full professor. When Russian troops occupied Chernivtsi shortly after the start of World War I , Kaindl fled to Vienna . In 1915 he accepted a call to the University of Graz , where he took over the chair for Austrian imperial history and held it until his death. In 1928 he became an honorary member of the Teutonia Chernivtsi fraternity .
job
Kaindl published his work History of Bukowina in 1888 while still a student . His dissertation was entitled The Story of St. Adalbert . In 1893 he completed his habilitation with a thesis on contributions to older Hungarian history at the University of Chernivtsi. His scientific interest was not only related to purely historical topics, but also extended to cultural-historical and ethnological aspects of a space, so that many of his works fall into the field of ethnology. He published a manual on this in 1903. His most important work is the History of the Germans in the Carpathian Countries , published between 1907 and 1911 .
Since the beginning of the First World War , most of Kaindl's essays and writings have been heavily influenced by the political conflicts of that time.
Work for protection organizations and politics
In addition to his scientific work, Kaindl has been politically active in the German national protection organizations in the Carpathian region since the end of the 19th century. He initiated meetings of the Carpathian Germans and became chairman of the Association of Christian Germans in Bukovina . He intensified this activity when his homeland was granted to Romania by the Treaty of Saint-Germain . In his letter to Germans and non-Germans published in 1919 , he dealt with the reasons for the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy. Kaindl then looked for ways to create a federally organized Central Europe, for example in 1920 in 1848 / 49-1866-1918 / 19. The German people's path to catastrophe and its rescue and 1926 in German history in greater German lighting . His representations led to fierce disputes in the scientific criticism and escalated at the German Historians' Day in Graz in 1927.
He is buried in the St. Leonhard Cemetery in Graz .
