“…Despite the help of Brandt, Prince Qing (Qing qinwang 慶親王) did not agree to meet them at the Chinese Foreign Office, the Zongli Yamen 總理衙門, and only informed Brandt again that he would contact him if China wished to raise a loan. 82 As the Inspector General of the Customs Service, Robert Hart, with whom the representatives also met, put it, 'the German Syndicate came, saw, and did not conquer'. 83 Most likely because there was nothing more the mission could do for the moment, Erich and Exner were eventually recalled to Germany in the summer and autumn of 1886.…”

“…84 Bethge stayed in China and would later act as agent for the German banks. 85 After Exner and Erich had returned to Germany, the consortium that had sent them to China met on 7 February 1887. Having read the reports of the study mission, it concluded that 'the preconditions, which had led to the forming of the consortium, at least for the moment do not exist'.…”

In this wide-ranging study, Ghassan Moazzin sheds critical new light on the history of foreign banks in late 19th and early 20th century China, a time period that saw a substantial influx of foreign financial institutions into China and a rapid increase of both China's foreign trade and its interactions with international capital markets. Drawing on a broad range of German, English, Japanese and Chinese primary sources, including business records, government documents and personal papers, Moazzin reconstructs how during this period foreign banks facilitated China's financial integration into the first global economy and provided the financial infrastructure required for modern economic globalization in China. Foreign Banks and Global Finance in Modern China shows the key role international finance and foreign banks and capital markets played at important turning points in modern Chinese history.

“…Heinrich Barth, der heute als einer der Pioniere der Afrikawissenschaft angesehen wird, verband in seinen über 3500 Seiten umfassenden Reiseberichten aus Nord-und Zentralafrika sprachwissenschaft liche, geografische und historische Ausführungen. 53 Obwohl in Berlin in Geografie und Alter Geschichte habilitiert und bei Carl Ritter promoviert, sprachen sich die Berliner Fakultät und bei einem zweiten Antrag die Lesenden Akademiemitglieder, unter ihnen Leopold von Ranke, August Boeckh und Theodor Mommsen, gegen die Berufung Heinrich Barths auf eine ordent liche Professur aus. 54 Einer der Beweggründe mag Barths Beurteilung Afrikas gewesen sein, die sich nicht in Leopold von Rankes Weltsicht einfügte.…”

Die Berliner Kongokonferenz, Solingen und das Hinterland des kolonialen Waffenhandels Von November 1884 bis Februar 1885 tagten die Vertreter von 14 europäischen Mächten sowie des Osmanischen Reichs und der USA auf Einladung Bismarcks in Berlin. Im Vordergrund der Konferenz stand das Anliegen, die von den europäischen Mächten jeweils neu erworbenen Gebiete in Afrika für den internationalen Handel offen zu halten, also die Einführung von Einfuhr-, Transit-oder Ausfuhrzöllen zu verhindern. 1 Die europäischen Kolonisatoren und Vertreter der USA verständigten sich in Berlin darüber, wie es am besten gelingen könnte, sich einer Weltregion so zu bemächtigen, dass den jeweiligen na tionalen Wirtschaftsinteressen Vorteile entstehen, ohne dass die Staaten deshalb aber unterein ander Kriege führen müssen. 2 Nach mehrmonatigen Verhandlungen einigten sich die unterzeichnenden Staaten auf Handelsfreiheit (für Europäer) im Kongogebiet und einigen angrenzenden Regionen. Europa posi tionierte sich erneut als interna tionaler Gesetzgeber, der festlegt, wie in einer anderen Weltregion gehandelt werden soll, und markierte zugleich die Grenze zu der vermeint lich unzivilisierten Bevölkerung Afrikas. 3 1 Berlin war zwar nicht der Ort, an dem "vornehme Herren in geselliger Runde den Kuchen Afrikas mit Zirkel und Lineal untereinander aufteilten" (David van Reybrouck, Kongo.

After his emigration to the West, Georgij (Gappo) Baev (1865–1939), an outstanding cultural figure in Prerevolutionary Ossetia, spent many years in Germany, where he was involved in the translation of biblical texts into Ossetic and also taught his mother tongue as a lecturer at the Berlin Oriental Seminary (1922–1939). In the manuscript department of the Berlin State Library his personal archive is kept, containing a lot of interesting material, a real treasure of information not only about his personal life, but also and above all on Ossetic culture and history. The present paper features his correspondence with the Georgian linguist Giorgi Akhvlediani (1887–1973), whose personal archive is housed at the Tbilisi State University. The so far unpublished letters and postcards cover a relatively short time frame, namely from the 8 th of September 1927 to the 16 th of October 1928. Besides showing the deep respect and sincere appreciation of the two former colleagues for each other, the texts, all written in Russian, provide interesting facts which shed more light upon their biography and scientific activity. All in all, the professional and at the same time friendly correspondence, being a significant contribution to Ossetic studies, provides an insight into the nostalgic mood of the emigrant, on the one hand, and the interested tone of his counterpart, on the other.
