Rheinische Volkspflege
The ''Rheinische Volkspflege'' (''RVP'') was a propaganda organisation founded on 1 August 1919 as part of the Reichszentrale für Heimatsdienst (Reich Central Office for Home Service), the official press department of the Weimar Republic. It provided an umbrella organisation for a variety of educational and nationalistic movements during the occupation of the Rhineland by allied forces as accepted by the Treaty of Versailles. The name can be translated as "Protectors of the Rhenish people". The organisation was first established under the leadership of Alfred von Wrochem, until differences of opinion between him and his superiors led to his replacement in June 1921. Von Wrochem subsequently published ''Die Kolonisation der Rheinlande durch Frankreich'' (''The Colonisation of the Rhineland by France'') to present his views in 1922. However his use of official documents led to further disapproval from the Heimatsdienst. The RVP had a political department which co-ordinated the prod ...

Reichszentrale Für Heimatsdienst
Reichszentrale für Heimatdienst ("Reich Agency for Homeland Service") was an organisation established in Germany in March 1918 to disseminate propaganda and educational material. It was soon to play a role in the emergent Weimar Republic. The organisation was dissolved on 16 March 1933 following the Nazi seizure of power. In many ways it was replaced by Joseph Goebbels's Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda established on 14 March 1933. Origins The Heimatdienst was first set up as the "Zentrale für Heimatdienst" under the control of Erhard Deutelmoser, head of the Kriegspresseamt (War Press Office), overseen by the Oberste Heeresleitung (OHL) or Supreme Army Command. During the German Revolution of 1918, the Council of the People's Deputies placed it under the control of Philipp Scheidemann, a leading politician from the Majority Social Democratic Party of Germany. During the next few months its main role was producing propaganda in the Berlin area in favour of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Weimar Republic
The Weimar Republic (german: link=no, Weimarer Republik ), officially named the German Reich, was the government of Germany from 1918 to 1933, during which it was a constitutional federal republic for the first time in history; hence it is also referred to, and unofficially proclaimed itself, as the German Republic (german: Deutsche Republik, link=no, label=none). The state's informal name is derived from the city of Weimar, which hosted the constituent assembly that established its government. In English, the republic was usually simply called "Germany", with "Weimar Republic" (a term introduced by Adolf Hitler in 1929) not commonly used until the 1930s. Following the devastation of the First World War (1914–1918), Germany was exhausted and sued for peace in desperate circumstances. Awareness of imminent defeat sparked a revolution, the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II, formal surrender to the Allies, and the proclamation of the Weimar Republic on 9 November 1918. In its i ...

Occupation Of The Rhineland
The Occupation of the Rhineland from 1 December 1918 until 30 June 1930 was a consequence of the collapse of the Imperial German Army in 1918, after which Germany's provisional government was obliged to agree to the terms of the 1918 armistice. This included accepting that the troops of the victorious powers occupied the left bank of the Rhine and four right bank "bridgeheads" with a radius around Cologne, Koblenz, Mainz and a radius around Kehl. Furthermore, the left bank of the Rhine and a strip east of the Rhine was declared a demilitarized zone. The Treaty of Versailles repeated these provisions, but limited the presence of the foreign troops to fifteen years after the signing of the treaty (until 1934). The purpose of the occupation was on the one hand to give France security against a renewed German attack, and on the other to serve as a guarantee for reparations obligations. After this was apparently achieved with the Young Plan, the occupation of the Rhineland w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Treaty Of Versailles
The Treaty of Versailles (french: Traité de Versailles; german: Versailler Vertrag, ) was the most important of the peace treaties of World War I. It ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in the Palace of Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which led to the war. The other Central Powers on the German side signed separate treaties. Although the armistice of 11 November 1918 ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919. Of the many provisions in the treaty, one of the most important and controversial was: "The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and the ...

Black Horror On The Rhine
The Black Horror on the Rhine was a moral panic aroused in Weimar Germany and elsewhere concerning allegations of widespread crimes, especially sexual crimes, said to be committed by Senegalese Tirailleurs, Senegalese and other African soldiers serving in the French Army during the French occupation of the Rhineland between 1918 and 1930. ''Die schwarze Schande'' or w:de:Alliierte Rheinlandbesetzung#.E2.80.9ESchwarze Schmach.E2.80.9C, ''Die schwarze Schmach'' ("the Black Shame" or "the Black Disgrace") were terms used by right-wing press as German nationalism, German nationalist propaganda in opposition to these events. The colonial troops referred to were soldiers from Senegal, Indochina, and Madagascar. The majority of colonial African soldiers were accused of committing rape and mutilation against the German population. The campaign reached its peak between 1920 and 1923, but did not stop until 1930. Adolf Hitler blamed Jews for bringing the Senegalese into the Rhineland. Along ...

Rheinische Frauenliga
The Rhenish women's league (Rheinische Frauenliga) was an organisation set up by the Rheinische Volkspflege (Protectors of the Rhenish people) to bring together various primarily middle class women's organisations initially to campaign against the use of African troops by the French Army in the occupation of the Rhineland. The idea was initiated by a member of the Cologne-based Neven du Mont family and taken up by the civil servant Margarete Gärtner, who organised the first conference in Frankfurt am Main, 23–24 June 1920.
