New ideas?

Since my return from Leiden, I have been mulling over different rural projects. I have been doing bibliographic research on two topics that I left long ago: the Deutscher Bauernbund and the Landvolkbewegung. I’ve found that there hasn’t been a lot of work published since I last looked at these topics, which all pre-dated my GIS work. I was particularly interested to learn that the newspaper of the Bauernbund post-1918 is extant at the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin and at the Nationalbibliothek in Dresden. Amazing! Since I had completed my Bauernbund research before the Wende, I am not surprised. It would be really interesting to examine the conflict over the reintroduction of German tariffs freedom in 1925 and then the disintegration of the organization in 1927. Both would fit into my continued interest in Theodor Tantzen.
