(English / German)
Between 1900 and 1933, many Viennese writers, artists, theatre directors and psychoanalysts settled in Berlin, playing a key part in the development of modernism in both cities. The contributions in this volume explore the extent to which a Viennese School developed in Berlin during this period and examine the role of those participating in cultural transfer between Vienna and Berlin. They included writers such as Vicki Baum und Felix Salten, people from the world of theatre such as Elisabeth Bergner and Max Reinhardt, designers like Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and Emil Orlik, and scientists like Sigmund Freud and Otto Neurath. Through innovation, they transformed their self-image as ‘outsiders’ into artistic freedom and social utopia.
Zwischen 1900 und 1933 ließen sich viele Wiener Schriftsteller*innen, Künstler*innen, Theaterregisseur*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen in Berlin nieder. Sie prägten die Entwicklung der Moderne in beiden Städten entscheidend mit. Die Beiträge des Bandes erforschen die vielfältigen Facetten einer Wiener Schule in Berlin zu dieser Zeit und untersuchen die Rolle der Protagonist*innen des Kulturtransfers zwischen Wien und Berlin. Zu ihnen zählten Schriftsteller*innen wie Vicki Baum und Felix Salten, Personen aus der Theaterwelt wie Elisabeth Bergner und Max Reinhardt, Designer*innen wie Friedl Dicker-Brandeis und Emil Orlik und Wissenschaftler*innen wie Sigmund Freud und Otto Neurath. Ihr Selbstverständnis als "Außenseiter*innen" verwandelten sie durch Innovation in künstlerische Freiheit und soziale Utopie.
