Heimat (english version)
(2018)
The concept of Heimat can be used in conjunction with many phenomena and sometimes seems to have a precise definition. The very vagueness of the concept bespeaks its emotional aspect, one that makes it rather appealing for a wide range of marketing and propaganda purposes. Heimat denotes a local identification that is not exclusive of other identifications, whether regional, national or transnational institutions, ideologies or religious communities. The Article will address the concept and its varied meanings and it will also examine the fundamental relationship between individuals with respect to their social and geographic spaces.

(2017)
Das Konzept „Heimat“ lässt sich als scheinbar genauere Bestimmung vor viele Phänomene setzen. In der Unbestimmtheit des Begriffs zeigt sich seine prominente emotionale Seite, die ihn für Marketingzwecke jeder Art – und damit sind auch politische Absichten eingeschlossen – attraktiv macht. Heimat markiert eine lokale Identifizierung, die andere Identifikationen nicht ausschließt, ob es sich nun um regionale, nationale oder transnationale Institutionen, Ideologien oder Glaubensgemeinschaften handelt. Der Artikel behandelt den Begriff „Heimat“ sowie das grundsätzliche Verhältnis zwischen Individuen zu sozialen und geografischen Räumen.
Eigen-Sinn. This word – commonly rendered in English as "stubbornness" – has since become a key concept in German and even international scholarship for a specific approach referred to collectively as Alltagsgeschichte, the history of everyday life. Eigen-Sinn nowadays is a useful historiographic concept for understanding individual behaviors and actions that impact on the sphere of power and domination: submission and revolt, resistance and dropping-out. How this came about will be explained in this article by Thomas Lindenberger.
