Story
Mörderischer als Game of Thrones. Die vielleicht machthungrigste und gefürchtetste Dynastie Englands - die Plantagenets: Angefangen beim berühmten König Richard Löwenherz im 12. Jahrhundert bis zu Richard II. im 14. Jahrhundert reicht diese legendäre Königsfolge auf den Britischen Inseln. Es war eine Zeit voller Kriege und Intrigen, die in dieser Ausgabe von G/GESCHICHTE auf gewohnt spannende sowie eindrückliche Art und Weise von unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln beleuchtet wird.

Story
Die keltische Kultur erlebte viele Hochs und Tiefs. Auf die erste Hochphase im 7. Jh. v. Chr. folgte der Untergang, doch die Kelten richteten sich im 2. Jh. v. Chr. wieder auf, bis Julius Cäsar Gallien eroberte und die Kultur erneut erstarb. Erst nach ihrer dritten Blütezeit auf den Britischen Inseln waren die Kelten ein für allemal besiegt. Doch gerade ihre Niederlagen machen die Kelten nicht nur bei Asterix-Lesern und Druiden-Fans beliebt - es gibt so viel mehr zu erfahren über diese faszinierende, vergangene Zivilisation!

G/Geschichte widmet sich in dieser Ausgabe dem großen Karl: Ob mächtiger Herrscher und Kaiser, furchtloser Kriegsherr oder Diplomat, Karl der Große wird so schnell nicht in eine Schublade gesteckt. Wie immer bei G/Geschichte wird sich dem Titelthema hier auf vielfältige Weise genähert - man erfährt nicht nur, warum Aachen die kaiserliche Lieblingsresidenz war oder was es mit dem Rolandslied auf sich hat, sondern es wird sich auch auf Spurensuche in Hinblick auf den Charakter Karls des Großen begeben.

Story
Bücher über Atlantis füllen ganze Bibliotheken. Schätzungen gehen von 20 000 Werken aus, die bislang über die Insel verfasst worden sind. Die Karte der Lokalisierungen umspannt nahezu den gesamten Globus von Helgoland über Bolivien bis nach Indonesien und Japan. Als besondere Favoriten der Atlantissucher haben sich die Inseln Santorin und Malta durch ihre geologische Biografie sowie die einzigartigen archäologischen Funde qualifiziert. Platon wäre überrascht, wenn er wüsste, welche Wellen seine Erzählung über die Jahrtausende geschlagen hat.

Story
Wussten Sie, dass Miguel de Cervantes fünf Jahre lang als Sklave in Nordafrika vegetierte, bevor er seinen weltberühmten Romanhelden Don Quijote gegen Windmühlen kämpfen ließ? Dass er nur einer von rund 3,7 Millionen Europäern war, die in der Neuzeit, also seit 1500, versklavt wurden? Dass weite Küstenabschnitte in Italien menschenleer waren, weil die Bewohner aus Angst vor den Sklavenjägern ihre Dörfer am Meer verließen? Das millionenfache Leid der "weißen Sklaven" – den Begriff prägte der US-Senator und Anti-Sklaverei-Kämpfer Charles Sumner 1847 – ist heute weitgehend vergessen.

Story
In dieser Ausgabe von G/Geschichte dreht sich alles um das Leben im Mittelalter: Schweine suhlen sich vor den Häusern, und von den Werkstätten der Gerber breitet sich ein infernalischer Gestank aus. Arme, Bettler und zuweilen Lepröse bevölkern die Gassen. Vor den Mauern verwesen die Körper der Gehenkten. Die Stadt ist kein romantischer Ort, aber sie verspricht eine Chance auf Freiheit von den Ketten der Leibeigenschaft.

Story
Die Zeit der Cowboys währte gerade mal 20 Jahre. Erst nach Ende des Amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs 1865 begannen die großen Viehtriebe, und schon Mitte der 1880er-Jahre endeten sie wieder: Massenhaft produzierte Stacheldrahtzäune versperrten nun den Weg, die effektivere Eisenbahn übernahm den Transport. Trotzdem symbolisiert der Cowboy den "American Way of Life" wie kaum etwas anderes. Allein im Sattel, um ihn die leere Wildnis, wird der unbeirrbare Cowboy zum Archetyp des Eroberers. Mit der schmutzigen Realität hat das natürlich nicht viel zu tun.

Story
"Es ist das große Turnier Himmel gegen Hölle", singt ein Troubadour Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts über die Kreuzzüge. Wer den Konflikt mit den Augen der Gegenwart betrachtet, wird Schwierigkeiten haben, das Phänomen der Templer zu verstehen. Männer aus der aristokratischen Oberschicht verzichten auf Privilegien, Frauen und Freuden, um ein asketisches Leben zu führen. Als Ritter und Mönch in einer Person verkörpert der Templer die beiden prägenden Ideale des Mittelalters. "Denn nicht ohne Grund trägt er das Schwert; er steht im Dienst Gottes", schwärmt der heilige Bernhard von Clairvaux.

An NATO und Warschauer Pakt erinnert die Konstellation zwischen Attischem Seebund und Peloponnesischem Bund: Hier eine Organisation demokratischer Staaten, die sich über ein Meer spannt, dort eine Allianz autokratischer Staaten, die weitgehend einen Block auf dem Land bildet. Beide Vereinigungen werden von einer einzelnen Supermacht dominiert, die ihr politisches System überall durchsetzen will – auch mit robusten Methoden. Die Konfrontation endet zum Glück anders: Nach dem modernen Kalten Krieg triumphierten die Demokratien.

"Ein anderer hätte sich erschossen, ich ging in die Fremdenlegion", schreibt 1905 Erwin Rosen. Der Schriftsteller liebt das lockere Leben und hat enorme Schulden gemacht. Der Dienst in Algerien ist die Hölle. Rosen desertiert und kann nach Tirol fliehen. Auch wenn Hollywood Liebeskummer oder Abenteuerlust als Motive bevorzugt, in den fast 200 Jahren ihres Bestehens marschieren vor allem Gestrauchelte und Männer ohne Perspektive in den Reihen der Fremdenlegion.

Der Sturm kommt aus Afrika. In nur wenigen Jahren erobern die Mauren, ein Völkergemisch aus Arabern und Berbern, fast die gesamte Iberische Halbinsel. Nur im kargen Norden Spaniens leisten die Menschen von Asturien erfolgreich Gegenwehr. Die Widerstandsnester sind die Keimzellen der späteren Königreiche Kastilien und León. Während Córdoba mit seinen Palästen, Bädern und Bibliotheken erblüht, baut man im Norden Burgen und Kathedralen. Zum Schutzpatron des Kampfes gegen die Muslime avanciert der Apostel Jakobus, der jetzt unter dem Kampfnamen "Matamoros" verehrt wird – der Maurentöter.

Grausamkeit und Toleranz sind Begriffe, die in heutiger Zeit nicht recht zusammenpassen. Jedenfalls rühmen sich unsere westlichen Regierungen gerne ihrer Menschlichkeit und Toleranz, während mehr oder weniger feindlich gesinnte Autokratien wegen ihrer Grausamkeit und Intoleranz verurteilt werden. Die Begriffspaare anders zu kombinieren, ist definitiv nicht üblich. Oder kennen Sie ein Regime, das etwa als menschlich und intolerant tituliert wird? Manche Aspekte der Hunnen erscheinen uns vielleicht auch deswegen so fremd.

Am 7. Oktober 2023 erfolgt der Terrorangriff der Hamas. Zivilisten vom Greis bis zum Kleinkind werden getötet, Frauen vergewaltigt und Hunderte Geiseln in den Gazastreifen verschleppt. Wie traumatisch dieser Tag für Israel ist, bezeugt der Beitrag der Autorin Agnes Fazekas, die in Tel Aviv lebt und die schrecklichen Folgen hautnah miterleben muss. Seit Jahrtausenden verspricht Jerusalem Frieden und Erlösung, aber keine Stadt hat mehr Krieg und Zerstörung in ihrer Geschichte erlebt. 44-mal wird Jerusalem erobert: durch Babylonier, Makedonier, Römer, Perser, Araber, Kreuzritter, Osmanen und Briten und viele mehr.

»Der vergängliche Ruhm der Herrschaft« ist ein cineastisches Juwel des portugiesischen Regisseurs Manoel de Oliveira. Der Film spielt irgendwo in Afrika, wo ein Trupp Soldaten im Dschungel gegen die einheimischen Rebellen kämpfen muss. Die jungen Männer sind voller Fragen nach den Ursprüngen der kolonialen Kriege. Sie haben Glück. Ihr tiefgründiger Offizier ist Historiker und vermittelt ihnen in lebendigen Bildern die Geschichte ihrer Nation und die Geburt des portugiesischen Weltreiches. Sein Fazit: Alle Herrschaft ist hohl und langfristig zum Scheitern verdammt.

Simonetta Vespucci war die Geliebte Giuliano de Medicis und Muse Botticellis. Als Venus strahlte die Schönheit im Mittelpunkt seines Meisterwerkes "Primavera". Als Mäzene von Künstlern wie Botticelli oder Michelangelo erwerben sich die Medici ihren guten Ruf. Aber die Ästheten vom Arno sind zugleich Meister einer diskreten Staatspolitik. Ohne ein politisches Amt avanciert Cosimo der Alte zum heimlichen Herrscher von Florenz, der wie Don Corleone im Film "Der Pate" alle Fäden in seiner Hand hält. Im 16. Jahrhundert steigen die Medici zu Herzögen auf.

Die Bronzestatue einer abgemagerten, in Lumpen gehüllten Frau, die sich mit hohlem Blick an ihre wenigen Habseligkeiten klammert, bildet zusammen mit fünf weiteren lebensgroßen Figuren das "Famine Memorial" (Hungerdenkmal) nahe dem Stadtzentrum Dublins. Das 1997 errichtete Mahnmal erinnert an eine Zeit, die den Iren bis heute präsent ist: die Hungerkatastrophe von 1845 bis 1849, die geschätzt einer Million Menschen das Leben kostete und das Verhältnis zu England wohl endgültig zerrüttete. Denn die Regierung in London sah dem Massensterben ihrer irischen Staatsangehörigen weitgehend untätig zu.

"Für die "Integrationsbeauftragten" König Nebukadnezars II. müssen die deportierten Israeliten ein Albtraum gewesen sein. Da hatte man sie aus ihrem muffigen Provinzleben im kargen Bergland von Judäa ins quirlige, lebensstrotzende Babylon geholt, wo sich ihnen alle Chancen eines Weltreiches eröffneten, und was taten sie? Sie "saßen an den Flüssen von Babylon und weinten"!" Diese Sätze schrieb unser Gründer und Herausgeber Dr. Franz Metzger vor 15 Jahren, und sie lesen sich heute so aktuell wie damals.

Wie viele Literatenhäuser stellt Lawrences Refugium "Clouds Hill" im südenglischen Bovington ein Abbild seiner Seele dar. Die einstige Bauernkate ist äußerst schlicht eingerichtet, aber die Bibliothek und Schallplattensammlung zeugen von dem intellektuellen Universum, das Lawrence war: Homer, Dante, Cervantes, Mozart, Beethoven und Elgar. Dann in einer Ecke rostige Fragmente von Schienen. Es sind Reliquien der Hedschasbahn von Aleppo nach Medina – Erinnerungen an seinen Guerillakrieg in der Wüste gegen die Türken. Lawrences militärische Karriere ist außergewöhnlich.

Familienkriege sind nichts Ungewöhnliches. Die meisten von uns können wohl von einem in der eigenen Verwandtschaft berichten, insbesondere wenn es ein Erbe zu verteilen gibt. Die fränkischen Merowinger treiben den Zwist allerdings auf eine Spitze, die außergewöhnlich ist, selbst für das wenig zimperliche Mittelalter. Der "Merowingische Bruderkrieg", wie Historiker das innerfamiliäre Gemetzel und Gemeuchel ab 561 n. Chr. nennen, ist als Begriff aber etwas irreführend.

Story
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.
