Ludwig Carl Wilhelm Fahrenkrog, German poet and painter. Born on October 20, 1867, in Rendsburg; died on October 27, 1952, in Biberach an der Riß. His work emerged from the life reform movement and Art Nouveau. Awarded the Grand State Prize in 1893 for his painting "Crucifixion of Christ," he returned to Germany after a year-long scholarship in Rome not with the expected historicist copies of old masters and classical forms, but with paintings created en plein air.
From then on, he approached Christian tradition with profound skepticism. In 1901, at a major exhibition in the Barmen Art Gallery—three years after his appointment to the Barmen School of Applied Arts—he shocked the public with his depiction of a beardless "Jesus of Nazareth." This innovator of art, a counterpoint to historicism, rejected the modern movements of the international avant-garde, Cubism and Expressionism, and remained committed to a representational-symbolist style. His subject matter revolved around nature, Germanic mythology, and inner conflicts. Fahrenkrog's illustrated book "Lucifer" was published in 1913, followed in 1922 by the illustrated book "Ludwig Fahrenkrog: His Creations and Their Significance for Our National Culture."
Fahrenkrog left the Christian community as early as 1900 and then founded the Germanic Faith Community (GGG) in 1912. This led left-wing critics to label him a forerunner of National Socialism. Nevertheless, the Nazi regime maintained a critical distance from the religious zealot, who created neither party-political nor war-glorifying paintings. Despite his conservative German nationalist leanings, he was commissioned in 1945 to paint portraits of the murdered resistance fighters Hans and Sophie Scholl from photographs.
His written estate is housed in the Archive for Fine Arts at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum.
The painter and writer Ludwig Fahrenkrog (1867-1952) is among the forgotten German artists of the early 20th century. This is partly due to political reasons, as Fahrenkrog founded the controversial nature-based religious group "Germanic Faith Community" in 1912. However, this neglect is unjust. An unbiased view of his work reveals an artist who grappled seriously with God and the fundamental impulses of human existence throughout his life.
Co-founder of the Germanic Faith Community (GGG), founded in 1907, which held several Allthinge (assemblies) in the Harz Mountain Theatre.
A war bond (or war loan) is an interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing security used to finance a war. It is usually issued by a government. Purchasing the bond is equivalent to granting a loan to the government.
Distribution of war bonds
War bonds are usually accompanied by extensive propaganda to directly garner support for the war effort from the home front. To attract as many investors as possible, appeals are typically made to their patriotism, arguing that the sale of the bond is crucial to the war effort. Investors also speculate on the interest payments the state intends to finance through reparations in the event of a victory. In the case of a lost war, there is a risk that the bond will not be repaid, resulting in the loss of the invested capital. History offers numerous examples of such losses.
In addition to advertising war bonds, many administrative measures are taken to promote their sale:
Stock exchange closure
Prohibition of issuing securities for other purposes
Obligation of commercial banks and central banks to purchase war bonds
Forced loans
Thus, on August 1, 1914, during the First World War, stock exchanges in Germany and many other countries were closed. While stocks were traded again in the following years, trading in Reich bonds did not resume until September 1, 1919. This had the effect, firstly, that investors could not buy bonds on the secondary market and were therefore dependent on the primary market, and secondly, that falling prices for government bonds could not be made public. From the spring of 1917, new issues of stocks and bonds were made contingent upon the approval of the Reichsbank. This further reduced investment opportunities in assets other than war bonds.
Story
These were issued in Switzerland in 1848. In 1936, Switzerland issued a defense loan intended to ensure the best possible preparedness in the event of an anticipated war.
World War I
Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia primarily financed the First World War through war bonds. While the USA provided its funds through the budget (US$13 billion) and borrowed from the public via four Liberty Bonds (US$17 billion), England raised taxes but also issued bonds, which were promoted by the Parliamentary War Savings Committee. Both England and France also received loans from the USA.
In Germany, a total of nine war bonds were issued between 1914 and 1918, raising 98 billion Reichsmarks and covering about 60% of Germany's war costs.
In German history, the term "the" war loan generally refers to the SPD's 1914 decision that enabled the financing of the First World War. The policy of national unity (Burgfrieden) also led to a split within the German labor movement.
