Arminius the Liberator: Myth and Ideology deals with a particular,
although wide-ranging, aspect in the long reception history of
Arminius the Cheruscan, commonly called Hermann. Arminius inflicted
one of their most devastating defeats on the Romans in the year 9
A.D., when he destroyed three legions under the command of Varus in
the Battle in the Teutoburg Forest, as it is generally called.
Martin M. Winkler traces the origin and development of the Arminius
legend in antiquity and in political and ideological appropriations
of Arminius-Hermann since the nineteenth century. The book's
central theme is the ideological use and abuse of history and of
historical myth in Germany: Weimar-era nationalism, National
Socialism, and the reaction to the ideological taint of the
Arminius figure after 1945. The book also examines the various
appearances of Arminius in art and media from the 1960s until
today. Special emphasis is on the representation of Arminius in the
era of visual mass media in Germany, Italy, and the U.S.: painting
(Anselm Kiefer) and theater (Claus Peymann) but, most extensively,
cinema, television, and computer videos.
