The politician, intellectual and entrepreneur Walther Rathenau (1867–1922) is one of the most important German-Jewish personalities of the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the ‘Age of Extremes’, he saw himself as a spokesman for modernity. He distinguished himself as a critic of the society, politics and culture of his time. In 1922, the liberal foreign minister was assassinated by right-wing conspirators—and became a symbolic figure of Weimar democracy. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of his death, this yearbook's contributions examine Rathenau's achievements and ambiguities in the context of the transition from Imperial Germany to the Republic. With further contributions on Ludwig Bamberger, the Thuringian politician Arnold Paulssen and the Boulangist crisis.
