Bülow

Bülow left office in the summer of 1909; Dernburg left almost a full year later, in the summer of 1910. Presumably Bülow's departure was not the proximate cause of his. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.218.76.82 (talk) 18:27, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This quote seems to refer to Bernhard Dernburg: https://theconversation.com/why-did-women-vote-for-hitler-long-forgotten-essays-hold-some-answers-134481, https://digitalcollections.hoover.org/objects/58799/margarethe-schrimpff, https://digitalcollections.hoover.org/internal/media/dispatcher/240090/resize:format=preview

Dissatisfaction with the attitudes of the Weimar era, the period between the end of World War I and Hitler’s rise to power, is clear in the women’s writing. Most of the essay writers express distaste with some aspect of the political system. One calls women’s voting rights “a disadvantage for Germany,” while another describes the political climate as “haywire,” and “everyone was everyone’s enemy.” Margarethe Schrimpff, a 54-year-old woman living just outside of Berlin, describes her experience:

“I attended the meetings of all … parties, from the communists to the nationalists; at one of the democratic meetings in Friedenau [Berlin], where the former Colonial Minister, a Jew by the name of Dernburg, was speaking, I experienced the following: this Jew had the audacity to say, among other things: ‘What are the Germans actually capable of; maybe breeding rabbits.’

"Dear readers, do not think that the heavily represented stronger sex jumped up and told this Jew where to go. Far from it. Not one man made a sound, they stayed dead quiet. However, a miserable, frail little woman from the so-called ‘weaker sex’ raised her hand and forcefully rejected the Jew’s brazen remarks; he had in the meantime allegedly disappeared to attend another meeting.”

Racist

With reference to the Rhineland Bastards, he believed that "some native tribes, just like some animals, must be destroyed". 2601:18F:100:96A0:1FF:22F4:1626:4917 (talk) 22:50, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
