About This Event

A talk on the topic of 'Port Cities as Cosmopolitan Places? Hanseatic Cities in the Wake of Nazism' will be held at The Levinsky Theatre on December 1. The event is free but also offers a £6.00 option.

by Dr Jeremy De Waal of University of Exeter

This is a study of post-war reconstruction and the politics of local identities, particularly relating to three harbour cities—-the Hanseatic cities of Hamburg, Lübeck and Bremen. It looks at shattered home towns after the bombing (something relatable to Plymouth), and also at how denizens used their sea-faring history to argue for internationalist projects and reconciliation as in tune with local identities/histories. This contrasted with the Nazi definition of their harbour towns as part of a tradition of "projecting" German national power onto the world stage.

Description supplied by the event organiser.
