Uber Die Gedanken Und Erinnerungen Von Otto Furst Von Bismarck: Mit Einem Nachwort Von Hans-Christof Kraus [German]

By Gustav Schmoller

"Bismarck's political testament to the German people, awaited with rare excitement for months, was published in the last days of November; like many thousands, I too, unable to finish reading it, devoured it and hasten to report briefly on it in these pages ...]" Gustav Schmoller, in: On the "Thoughts and Memories" of Otto Prince von Bismarck Gustav Schmoller, who died in the midst of the First World War on July 27, 1917, was not only one of the most well-known and important German scholars of his time, but also one of the most influential scientific politicians of the Wilhelmine Empire. ...] (Schmoller's) genuine closeness to reality also determined his membership in the political-scientific elite of the Empire, and against this background, in turn, he was able to use a much freer and more open language in a wide variety of areas than many of his contemporaries ...]. A perhaps particularly revealing example of this fact is provided by Schmoller's detailed review of Bismarck's "Thoughts and Memories," which appeared in 1898 just a few weeks after the death of the former Reich Chancellor and was generally perceived as a public sensation. ] In fact, it was not merely a memoir, but above all a kind of "textbook of politics" that Bismarck had intended to write with his memoirs, and Schmoller was the first of the many reviewers of this work to immediately recognize and define this not least of all, this is the special significance of his early review of "Thoughts and Memories."
