The Rise of National Socialism in the Bavarian Highlands offers a
microhistory of the town of Murnau between 1919 and 1933, a period
which witnessed the rise of national socialism in Germany. National
socialism had its roots in Bavaria, where the Weimar Republic found
it difficult to secure popular support amongst the rural
population. It was in this region that economic hardship and
effective national socialist propaganda furthered the erosion of
democracy. Focusing on Murnau, this book examines the political and
economic state of the town, as well as the mentality and social
composition of its inhabitants. It also looks at the development of
tourism in the interwar period, a topic which has received little
scholarly attention. Although the study limits itself to one town,
the reactions of its inhabitants reflect a common attitude of
nostalgia for a seemingly better past and a rejection of the
‘excessive’ demands of modernity that the Weimar Republic
exacted on them. This book will appeal to scholars and students of
national socialism, as well as those interested in the Weimer
Republic, Nazi Germany, microhistory, and the history of tourism.
