Elsbeth Von Nathusius
Elsbeth von Nathusius (17 January 1846 - 10 July 1928) was a German story writer. Life Elsbeth Luise Friederike von Nathusius was born in Königsborn, a small but prosperous village near Magdeburg in central northern Germany. She was one of six children born to the gentleman-farmer and high-profile oologist Wilhelm von Nathusius (1821-1899) by his marriage to Marie von Meibom (1820–1878). A younger brother, Wilhelm von Nathusius (1856-1937), became an army officer. Her sister, Susanne von Nathusius (1850-1929) became a successful portrait artist in Halle. Elsbeth herself remained unmarried and had no children. Evidence of Elsbeth charms as a small child comes from the poet and writer of children's songs, August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, who visited her father in 1847 and dedicated twelve songs (including "For Elsbeth Nathusius") to the infant in a volume published under the title "The Elsbeth Album". She continued to live at the family home as a young adul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Johanne Philippine Nathusius
Johanne Philippine Nathusius (18 November 1828 – 28 May 1885) was the founder, in 1861, of the "Elisabethstift", set up as an institution for looking after mentally disabled boys from socially disadvantaged families. As the children grew to adulthood she expanded the remit of the "Elisabethstift" to embrace provision of education, specialist workshops and an auxiliary school for those in her care. Mindful that every individual had his own needs and potential, she took care to ensure that individually suitable employment opportunities were found. She was deeply influenced by her religious beliefs, and convinced that the sick and handicapped who were obliged to live out their lives on the fringes of society, were all loved by God, and she tried to give meaning to the lives of all those for whom she cared through the provision of appropriated education and work chances. Life Johanne Nathusius was born into a prosperous - some sources apply the adjective "aristocratic" - family, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

19th-century German Women Writers
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung primarily affecting the small air sacs known as alveoli. Symptoms typically include some combination of productive or dry cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing. The severity of the condition is variable. Pneumonia is usually caused by infection with viruses or bacteria, and less commonly by other microorganisms. Identifying the responsible pathogen can be difficult. Diagnosis is often based on symptoms and physical examination. Chest X-rays, blood tests, and culture of the sputum may help confirm the diagnosis. The disease may be classified by where it was acquired, such as community- or hospital-acquired or healthcare-associated pneumonia. Risk factors for pneumonia include cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sickle cell disease, asthma, diabetes, heart failure, a history of smoking, a poor ability to cough (such as following a stroke), and a weak immune system.

Hyperinflation In The Weimar Republic
Hyperinflation affected the German Papiermark, the currency of the Weimar Republic, between 1921 and 1923, primarily in 1923. It caused considerable internal political instability in the country, the occupation of the Ruhr by France and Belgium, and misery for the general populace. Background To pay for the large costs of the ongoing First World War, Germany suspended the gold standard (the convertibility of its currency to gold) when the war broke out. Unlike France, which imposed its first income tax to pay for the war, German Emperor Wilhelm II and the Reichstag decided unanimously to fund the war entirely by borrowing. The government believed that it would be able to pay off the debt by winning the war and imposing war reparations on the defeated Allies. This was to be done by annexing resource-rich industrial territory in the west and east and imposing cash payments to Germany, similar to the French indemnity that followed German victory over France in 1870.Evans, p. 1 ...
