Since its discovery by German romantics and nationalists,
Rothenburg has been an established icon of the German nation and
its medieval past. By tracing Rothenburg's historical development
as a place of national importance, this book examines the cultural
politics of historical preservation and tourism in general. In
exploring the shifting practice and importance of tourism in
Rothenburg and how this relates to broader debates about German
culture and identity, Preservation, Tourism and Nationalism offers
an important and original perspective on the changing dynamics of
romanticized historical landscapes and how events are used to
further national, cultural and political agendas. It also analyses
the changing practices of historical preservation, and in
particular, how historic preservation in Rothenburg reflects a
desire to make it more historic and more German. With important
insights into what it means to be German, how Germans relate to the
past and how the answers to these questions have changed over time,
this richly illustrated and detailed volume offers an important
narrative of the rise, evolution and contestation of memory in
German culture.
