the Submarine war is glorified and has become bogged collector Peter
Tamm.
Especially the young people are in its International Maritime Museum
in Hamburg, which will be opened on Wednesday by Federal President
Horst Köhler, to learn, says the collector Peter Tamm. That shipping
is international understanding, one could learn the ten decks of
sensitive remodeled store in Hamburg's HafenCity.
For decades, the former Chief Executive Officer has the Axel Springer
publishing material for shipping - and collected that he was housed in
an imperial villa on the Elbchaussee - including Military, Nazi
insignia and model ships. The child in the man seemed manic romp here.
When his former employees, the image-columnist Dana Horakova, 2002
Hamburg's Senator for Culture, was also was the long-cherished wish
Peter Tamm, his collection into a museum to convert, finally becoming
a reality.
City was 30 million €
The city gave Tamm's oldest port memory, the Kaispeicher B, for 99
years for nothing, and gave 30 million to rebuild. Tamm established a
foundation for his collection, and developed a concept for the museum
needs the 150,000 visitors annually, to record its operating costs.
The criticism that was expressed on the occasion of this decision on
the quality and educational value of Tamms collection as well as at
certain points of contact Tamms to persons of dubious democratic
sentiment, blared from the publisher patriarch always.
We'll see at the opening already, that the material was prepared by
historical criticism. He wanted "to show truth without prejudice" the.
Constricted sense of history
But this "truth without prejudice" is asserting itself in 12,000
square meters of exhibition space in exactly the constricted sense of
history, the collection still clung tentatively.
What you can learn there that is in fact, is the person who can show
up with 196 ships sunk most successful in the history of the Submarine
war and how great the camaraderie was on a German warship in the Nazi
era.
Factual information is yet to be staged magnificently from uncritical
colonial history and detailed memories of the Imperial Admiralty,
whose order discounts and hat boxes.
Instead of documenting the atrocities of the master race in Africa and
Europe, the exhibition describes in rather tedious detail the
technical details of torpedoes and ironclads.
Fetish-like lack of distance
It slipped the German from militaria catalogs, which dominates the
Hinweisschildchen, also like to have the technocratic degrading, as if
in a small panel on the treatment of slavery, its necessity is
explained thus: "grew up with the conquest of the American colonies,
the need for cheap labor. To compensate for the high death rate among
American Indians, African slaves served one soon. " In this form it
could be a quote from a U.S. school book.
It is not only the almost complete suppression of the human story of
suffering, the trivialisation of the war as a technical development
power and the total failure in the historical-critical
differentiation, which makes such a huge issue so doubtful.
The entire collection represents a large proportion of distance, the
fetish-like Tamms its objects. Showcases with huge unannotated war
medals, in the center are actually the Nazi orders placed prominently,
an army of uniformed mannequins and models of ships are simply a
demonstration of compulsive hoarding, but no useful concept for the
museum.
Fatales characters
Government support and the dignity that gives the President the
opening with his presence, are given the dubious contents of the
museum a fatal sign. If domination story again displaced victims from
the history museum, a reminder is needed, not anointed.
