The Battle Of Tuntenhaus

Film: The Battle Of Tuntenhaus (1991)Das “Tuntenhaus” war eines der 1990/1991 in der Mainzer Strasse in Ostberlin besetzen Häuser. Ca 30 schwule Aktivisten versuchten hier herauszufinden, wie Kollektivität im real existierenden Großdeutschland gelebt werden kann. Gestört wurden sie dabei v.a. von den Neo-Nazis, welche die Hausbesetzer*innen der Mainzer Str. und ihre Nachbarn terrorisierten und…

Round 1: Johann Sigismund vs Friedrich Wilhelm IV

Johann Sigismund (r. 1608-1619)

Converted to Calvinism, which led to Prussia being a bi-confessional state.

His marriage to Duchess Anna of Prussia officially created the state of Brandenburg-Prussia. Though said partnership, he also acquired the territory of Juelich-Kleve.

As his reign continued, his alcoholism consumed him. Schiller notes a particular incident involved him punching the ear of a prospective step son, ruining the chance for marriage. As his heath declined, he was described as halfway between life and death.

Friedrich Wilhelm IV (r.1840-1861)

A staunch romanticist, Friedrich Wilhelm was responsible for some of the most magnificent buildings in Germany. The Orangery Palace in Potsdam, the Old National Gallery in Berlin, and the renovation of the Hohenzollern Castle were all constructed during his reign.

His reign was interrupted by the terror of the People's Spring. Although the king initially conceded to the revolutionaries in Berlin, once things were settled, he swiftly crushed the uprising.

Perhaps his most famous statement is his refusal of "the crown from the gutter" offered to him by the Frankfurt Parliament. The King did initially favor a Großdeutschland solution with a Habsburg at the helm, though luckily he soon came around to the superior idea of a Prussian led union. (Note: May be too divisive - T)

We here at the Kreuzzeitung must pay a special tribute to Friedrich Wilhelm IV. After the Revolutions of 1848, he assembled a group of conservative noblemen to help combat any further revolutionary fervor. It was that group that founded this esteemed paper, so for that, we thank him.

Also his Iron Cross 1st Class (EK1) on lower left chest with his wound badge (Vervundetenabzeichen) underneath. On his right chest is his German Cross in Gold (DKIG). On his right sleeve you can just see his cuff title Großdeutschland (Greater Germany). Only certain elite Heer (Army) and Waffen-SS units were allowed to wear a cuff title featuring the name of their regiment or division

Beware⚠️

198 – a combination of 19 and 8 or S and H, meaning "Sieg Heil."

1919 – represents SS, short for “Schutzstaffel”, probably the most infamous paramilitary organization in the Third Reich. It was responsible for some of the most heinous crimes against humanity in World War II.

74 – GD or “Großdeutschland/ Großdeutsches Reich” refers to the 19th-century idea of a German state that includes Austria, also an unofficial term for Germany after the annex of Austria in 1938. "Großdeutsches Reich" was the official state designation of the Third Reich in the last two years of the war.

28 – BH is an abridgement for "Blood & Honor," a German Neo-Nazi network that nowadays is prohibited.

444 – yet another representation of letters, DDD stands for "Deutschland den Deutschen (Germany for the Germans)". Other theories point out that it also might refer to the Four-Column-Concept of the far-right party NPD (National Democratic Party of Germany). This concept is the NPD’s strategy for winning over political power in Germany.  

14 or 14 words – is a numeric combination used by Nazis all over the world, but especially in the USA and by some German groups. The exact 14 words of this code are: We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children. A statement coined by deceased American white supremacist David Eden Lane. “Our people,” of course excludes everyone who is not deemed “white.”

Other common numeric dogwhistles:

88 - Representing of "Heil Hitler" and often paired up with 14, 99% of the time you see specifically 1488 it's a dogwhistle

1350 - the racist statistics meme in regards to incarceration rates of African-Americans
