Talk:Theodor Mommsen

message: The Wilhelm Weber that wrote about Mommsen in 1929 is obviously not the 19th c. physicist, but I haven't been able to find a full name online with which to disambiguate. Stan 17:04, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding social policies Mommsen had a disagreement with Bismarck in 1881, concerning the question, whether Jews could be Germans with equal rights ...
On which side did Mommsen come down on? For or against equal rights?

message: I corrected grandsons to great-grandsons in regard to Hans Mommsen and Wolfgang Mommsen (see here for info on how people in the family are related), but since English is my second language I didn't know quite how to make it clear, that Wolfgang is dead so they no longer are prominent German historians (Hans of course still is).--Heelgrasper 05:05, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I am very happy that this is mentioned in the English version of the article, hence it is not mentioned in the German version. Although it seems that he was not an Antisemite, he supplied German nationalism with academic legitimation for the later Third Reich, proclaiming Germanic unity as early as the classical Roman era and supplying arguments for the abandoning of Bavarian autonomy and the later annexion of Austria by Nazi-Germany in 1938. This should be kept in mind, because it also biased his historical work. --El bes 19:16, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Surely what was meant was "violent" - he encouraged his "folk comrades" to use violent acts as means of coexistence with other nation(s).--Pooh-winnie 14:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Do you have a reference for that? Currently, there's a reference which quotes him calling the Czechs 'barbaric' and 'irrational', but that's hardly incitement to violence. bogdan (talk) 10:37, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure what "Mommsen was a violent supporter of German nationalism" means and how German nationalism is different from German Unification. Was there a strong opposition to the German Empire after 1871? Nitpyck (talk) 00:54, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: he never advocated violence. Nor was he nearly as strong a nationalist as other historians such as von Treitschke. Rjensen (talk) 03:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: He was not as strongly antisemitic as von Treitschke (advocating "only" the Jewish assimilation instead of von Treitschke's outright antisemitism - athough losing someone's Jewish identity is arguably rather harsh price for being accepted as a regular German) nevertheless he still lent his intellectual weight to incitement of violence against the Slavic peoples.--188.122.215.2 (talk) 17:43, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
