Abstract
This paper discusses the history of Heinrich events, and current theories of their origin. Additionally, this paper outlines the scientific method for discovering more information of Heinrich events, and their relationship to the Bond Cycle, Milankovitch Cycles, and Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) oscillations. Finally, it looks at the possible effects on global climate as the result of Heinrich events, using the Younger Dryas as the basis for discussion.
From the Paper
"Heinrich events were first discovered by Hartmut Heinrich of the German Hydrographic Institute of Hamburg, Germany in 1988. Heinrich extracted samples from northeastern Atlantic sediment cores, and analyzed the samples. He discovered that the number of lithic, or rock sediment, and planktonic foraminifera (zooplankton) shell formations fluctuated greatly in many of the core samples. Additionally, Heinrich noted that the components of the sediments seemed not to fluctuate gradually, but seemingly abruptly (Hackett, 1994)."

Abstract
This paper examines the life of German Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi SS leader. It discusses his direct involvement with the concentration camps and the extermination of the Jewish people. It describes him as a cold, efficient, ruthless administrator. The paper demonstrates how Heinrich Himmler was a blind and devoted follower of Hitler, and was the most terrifying type of military leader, because he had no conscience.
From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi leader of the SS. Specifically, it will discuss his direct involvement with the concentration camps and the extermination of the Jewish people. Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945) was an unsuccessful chicken farmer and fertilizer salesman who became a leader in the Nazi party in the mid-1920s. As head of the SS as well as the Gestapo, he was a cold, efficient, ruthless administrator. He was the organizer of the mass murder of Jews, the man in charge of the concentration and death camps."

Abstract
This paper describes the type of person Heinrich Himmler was and discusses how he managed to rule the Gestapo with such an iron fist. It looks at his attitude towards Jews and his creation and implementation of the Final Solution.
From the Paper
"In 1925, Himmler joined the newly-formed SS ("Schutzstaffel"), a group of elite German officers assigned as Adolph Hitler's personal protection squad (the "Leibstandarte-SS Adolph Hitler"). Not long after, Himmler became the leader of the dreaded SS and then decided to ensure the absolute autonomy of this organization by decreeing that all members of the SS were in a class of their very own and that those that committed a misdemeanor were above normal justice and could be tried only by an SS court which in effect meant that German law no longer applied to them."

'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' by Heinrich von Kleist., 2005.
A discussion of the pro-German nationalist theme in the play 'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' by Heinrich von Kleist.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper briefly sums up 'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' as a play that chronicles the tale of one passionate, if self centered, Prince who defies orders in battle and is sentenced to death even though his action led to a decisive victory. According to this paper, this is one of Heinrich von Kleist's later works, and shows strong evidence of reaffirming the relationship between the individual and the state. Given the subject material and the audience for whom it was intended, 'Prince Friedrich of Homburg' has often been considered an early example of German nationalism.
From the Paper
"This play is one of a few latter works in the relatively short life of Heinrich von Kleist's career as a dramatist. He committed suicide at the age of thirty-four. As one of his later works, this play shows strong evidence of reaffirming the relationship between the individual and the state. Given the subject material and the audience for whom it was intended, Prince Friedrich of Homburg has often been considered an early example of German nationalism. While rudimentary in that regard, this play nonetheless exhibits many examples of nationalist ideology. Kleist considered this play to be a work of patriotic drama."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, whose compassion and genuine caring for his students not only lead to the development of his basic education style, but also made him an endearing figure in the field of pedagogy.
From the Paper
"Much of his pedagogical theory, which he successfully implemented into his education practices, was outlined in his 1801 book How Gertrude Teaches Her Children. In this work he outlined how he wished to establish a method of instruction that was based on the psychological development of the child and emphasized the natural progression of human development. Spontaneity was key and learning was facilitated by the natural curiosity and propensity for exploration that children display (Mayer 214). Pestalozzi asserts that children should be allowed to arrive at answers on their own through hands-on exploration and an encouragement that allows their own powers of reasoning, judgment and observation to blossom instead of being given ready-made answers. The aim is ultimately very holistic. Pestalozzi's goal was to achieve a balance between the education of the head, the heart and the hands. "

Dr. Heinrich Stadelmann's Portrait, 2005.

Abstract
The paper describes the painting as oil on canvas that was donated to the Art Gallery of Ontario by the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1988. This expressionistic painting measures 90.8 x 61 cm and the figure of Dr. Stadelmann is presented in a naturalistic but stylized manner. The paper explains that the pre-iconographic level of analysis, the level defined by Panofsky and cited in Schneider Adams in "The Methodologies of Art" as primary, or natural subject matter, gives an object of a standing male figure.

Racial and National Identity, 2002.
A discussion of 19th century questions of racial and national identity based on "Burg-Jargal" by Victor Hugo and "Michael Kohlhaas" by Heinrich von Kleist.

Abstract
This paper examines how Victor Hugo and Heinrich von Kleist pose the question of an individual's shaky sense of racial, national and personal identity in both the texts of "Burg-Jargal" and "Michael Kohlhaas". It looks at how the authors trace notions of personal identity directly to societal causes, influences and forms of societal oppression, but identity is always something immutable and true in the minds of their main characters. It evaluates how rather than psychological explanation being the key to either novel, the notion of identity emerges as a kind of litmus test for the relative justice of a particular element society.
From the Paper
"Burg-Jargal by Victor Hugo deals with the Haitian Revolution of the author's day. Thus, it may, on the surface, seem quite separate from issues of identity that would plague the French author. However, this also means that identity plays a crucial element in the text, for in any revolution of independence, what constitutes the nature of independence and of national identity is called into question. Hugo uses the events that transpire to show the hypocrisy of a society based on slavery that ignores the needs of its ordinary people because of their race. The love that the slave Pierrot feels for Marie becomes a symbol of a world that is split between slave and free. Identity becomes related to one's physical and social status in an unjust way, in a way that even love cannot fully extricate."

Life in the Details: "The Clown", 2001.
A look at Heinrich Boll's "The Clown". An analysis of the themes of the novel with focus on the theme of life.

Abstract
The author analyzes Boll's depiction of relationships, both familial and religious as contributors to the management of one's life.
From the Paper
"Several of the motifs that preoccupy Heinrich Boll's earlier works and, presumably, much of his emotional investment, are rekindled in The Clown, published in 1963. The nature of the family structure, Catholicism, and learning how to live in a modern post-war world are all thematically revisited, but in less abstract and more definitive terms than previously. Familial relationships and religious relationships are both important aspects of the novel, but it is the way in which these contribute, or fail to contribute, to one central human task that is preeminent - - the task of learning how to function in life."

Katharina Blum, 2002.
This paper explores Heinrich Boell's Katharina Blum as a potentially idealized character.

Abstract
An exploration of the characteristics of the main protagonist of 'The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum', discussing whether these characteristics are realistic or idealized, and what impact they have on the force of Boell's critique of the press.
From the Paper
"When asked "wird [Katharina] nicht tatsachlich eine positive Heldin?"(Isn't Katharina really a positive heroine?) Boll replied: "Die Gefahr ist drin," (There is a danger of that.) acknowledging the potential for the reader to perceive her as an ideal whilst remaining free to form his own opinion on the consequences of this idealisation. Boll went on in the same discussion to outline the ways in which Katharina Blum falls short of his ideal, which will be discussed later, concluding that "sie ist keine Heilige, und sie ist erst recht keine Heldin." (She isn't a saint, and she isn't even a heroine.) However, he did not deny that others might perceive the aspects of her character which he subjectively views as negative, to be positive, even exemplary. It is difficult to pass judgement on Katharina because much of what is said in the novel about her is by definition untrue. The reader is given the opportunity to make comparisons between the reports in the ZEITUNG (NEWS), often quoted verbatim, what other characters say about her, and what she says about herself. However, doubt is cast over what she says in the police interview by the fact that she is clearly either lying or withholding information about some aspects of her involvement in the affair. Whether we are to believe the rest of information offered or not, clearly it cannot be accepted uncritically. Even if the facts about her childhood, for example, are accepted, they are no more than that - bare facts that give little insight into the mind of Katharina herself. It may be that what her actions reveal is most illuminating of all."

Baron von Steuben, 2004.
This paper discusses Baron von Steuben, who is remembered to this day as a hero and the main force behind the creation of the Continental Army.

Abstract
This paper explains that Baron von Steuben, known as Friedrich Wilhelm Augustus von Steuben in America, and as Friedrich Wilhelm August Heinrich Ferdinand, was born in Magdeburg fortress in 1730. The author states that, in February 1778, Baron von Steuben reached York, Pennsylvania, volunteered his services free to the Americans, and teamed up with Alexander Hamilton and Nathaniel Greene to develop an army training program, which remained the basis for many similar training programs for many the years to come. The paper relates that von Steuben's method of training included simplified drills, which were repeated numerous times until the soldier became quite proficient, and officers who demonstrated a mutual respect and love in dealings with their men.
From the Paper
"In order to understand the extent of the achievement of Baron von Steuben, the condition and the working of the soldiers during a war or battle in the eighteenth century must be understood. Warfare in those days was a general free-for-all wherein the emphasis was on firing as quickly as possible, and at the closest ranges possible. It was, in fact, a mass fire combat, where the soldier on one side would find it of utmost importance to fire before the soldier on the opposite side could; he would always try to get the first shot across, before the other could. The rules and regulations for the soldiers were dealt primarily with drill, and firing arms. The sole emphasis was on the conduction of drills for the soldiers whereby they would become more and more proficient at handling the arms, and it would finally become nothing that would take up any sort of effort of concentration; the process of loading and firing a firearm would become totally automatic."

"Michael Kohlhaas", 2002.
Discusses this tragic novel by Heinreich Von Kleist.
1,021 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
"Michael Kohlhaas" by Heinrich von Kleist is a tragic novel of revenge and ultimate salvation. The paper investigates the functions of the characters in the novel, specifically Luther and the Gypsy and whether they are somehow related. The paper shows that the message of the novel is that revenge, no matter how sweet, always results in failure and unhappiness.
From the Paper
"While Luther does not agree with Kohlhaas' methods, he does intercede for him, and pleads for amnesty from the Saxon Elector, who is deaf to Luther's pleas. Kohlhaas had gone too far by burning Wittenberg and other towns as he seeks out the Junker for revenge, and the people have turned against him. Initially, Luther's intervention seems to work, and he serves another purpose, he seems to be Kohlhaas' redeemer. In the broader sense, Luther appears in the novel to represent the importance of anarchy and revolt. Luther himself was considered an anarchist at times, and was excommunicated from the Catholic Church for his "radical" religious views. His appearance in the novel is ironic, for at first he does not support the very same action in Kohlhaas, because Kohlhaas uses violence as his means of revenge."

Abstract
In 1925, Adolf Hitler formed his own personal bodyguard unit and called it the Schutzstaffel (S.S.). Four years later Heinrich Himmler was appointed its leader. This paper looks at the history of one of the world's most feared military units during WWII. It also looks at the structure of the group, its three branches and their roles within the organization. Finally, the paper looks at the downfall of the S.S. with the fall of the Third Reich.
From the Paper
"Despite the almost mythical reputation of the S.S., (at least in the eyes of Germans), when the Third Reich fell, the S.S. fell with it. By mid-1943, more than 100,000 Waffen S.S. recruits died in during battle in Russia. "'We weren't outfought', wrote Kurt Meyer, 'but we were outnumbered, overwhelmed, pushed to the wall by sheer weight.'" (Constable, 172) Yet, the Waffen S.S. units continued to fight to "stave off the end of nazism". The attack of Kharkov was Germany's last won battle. "Hitler was ecstatic because his faith in the S.S. panzer corps had been validated...Himmler, too, brimmed with pride." (Constable, 174)"

Abstract
Analysis of Opus 48, No. 16. "Die alten bosen Lieder." The musical theme of this 1840 song. Development of the vocal melody. Heinrich Heine's lyric poem as the source of the lyric. Its place in Schuman's song cycle. How it is interlocked with Song 15. Relationship between songs 12 and 16.
From the Paper
"Robert Schuman was born June 8, 1810 in Zwickau, Germany, the son of a book publisher and writer. He showed early abilities in both music and literature, though he was not considered a prodigy by any means. His sister and father died tragically when he was sixteen, and he was then sent to the University of Leipzig, where he studied law until he was able to convince his mother of his need to study music. His works are noted for their links to literature, and many of his compositions allude to characters or scenes from poems, novels, and plays. His music thus has an intimate relationship with the written word, and this is certainly true of the songs he wrote, such as "Die alten bosen Lieder."
This work (Op. 48, No. 16) was written in 1840. The song ..."
