Neuware -Deutschland um 1900 - das anbrechende 20. Jahrhundert scheint es gut mit den Deutschen und dem Wilhelminischen Reich zu meinen. In den emporwuchernden Mietskasernen für das neue Industrieproletariat der Großstädte mag es gären, doch auf den Ringstraßen der Großstädte flaniert man stolz vor bürgerlichen Prunkbauten, die Wirtschaft floriert, Adel und Militär genießen uneingeschränktes Sozialprestige, und die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung verehrt den Kaiser und übt sich im Untertanengeist. Wilhelm II. liebt seine Dackel, die Marine und Weltmachtträume, die bis China reichen. In Übersee reifen die Kolonialwaren, der Rhein ist romantisch und Elsass-Lothringen deutsch. Auf den rund 800 Bildern dieses Bandes zeigt sich Deutschland überwiegend so, wie es sich gerne sah: selbstbewusst, glanzvoll, patriotisch, bodenständig, konservativ, aber auch fortschrittsgläubig und - wenn man es sich leisten konnte - mondän.Wie schon bei dem TASCHEN-Bestseller America 1900 handelt es sich bei diesen Bildern um besonders schöne Beispiele für das historische Photochrom-Verfahren, eine Drucktechnik, die Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien Farbe verlieh. Die Reise führt von den Lustschlössern Ludwigs II. in den bayerischen Alpen bis in die Seebäder an Nord- und Ostsee durch ein Deutschland, das gerade einen Modernisierungsschub vom Agrarstaat hin zum Industriestaat erlebt, aber noch stark seinen traditionellen Wurzeln verhaftet ist. Bilder von mittelalterlichen Städten, ländlichem Brauchtum und als erhaben wahrgenommenen Landschaften stehen so einträchtig neben Darstellungen technischer Neuerungen und moderner Gründerzeitboulevards. Das Porträt eines Landes im Aufbruch.Taschen Deutschland GmbH, Hohenzollernring 53, 50672 Köln 560 pp. Deutsch.…

The turn of the 20th century seemed full of promise for Germany. The suburbs may have teemed with tenements to house the new industrial proletariat, but on spacious new avenues in the city centres, people strolled proudly past magnificent bourgeois residences. The economy was booming, the aristocracy and the military enjoyed unlimited social prestige, and most of the population revered the Kaiser.
Through some 800 color pictures, this book presents turn-of-the-century Germany as it liked to see herself: self-confident, glittering, patriotic but also with a belief in progress and – for those who could afford it – a cosmopolitan flair. As in the critically acclaimed America 1900 the images are all rare examples of the historical photochrom process, a printing technique that allowed black-and-white photographs to be reproduced in colour.
From Ludwig II’s fairy-tale castles in the Bavarian Alps to glamourous bathing resorts on the North Sea and Baltic, the pictures reveal a Germany of optimism, beauty, and transformation. Technical innovations and modern boulevards sit alongside medieval towns, rural traditions, and mystical forests, creating a fascinating and nostalgic panorama of a long lost epoch before the ravages of time and history set in.
