Journal articles on the topic 'Karl Gustav von'

In the article of Oleh Shepetyak «Dramatic Theology of K. Barth, H.U. von Balthasar and R. Schwager» the analysis of one of the theological concepts of XX - the beginning of XXI century was performed which was developed by Karl Barth, Gustav Aulén, Gans Urs von Balthasar and got the name «dramatic theology». This way of theological reflection appeared as antithesis to liberal theology developed in the dialogue with the Enlightment philosophy. The contribution of main creators of dramatic theology into the development of this study, its role and meaning in Theological discussions of the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council are highlighted in the investigation

The reopening of the University of Tartu (1802) fell into the period when the society’s needs for science and educated people were increasing rapidly. Universities became the most important research institutions, and their lecturers were not merely teachers but professional scientists. German higher education fostered ties with the most significant research centres of that time’s world. The current article views the pioneering embryological research done at the Old Anatomical Theatre, which has made the names of these scientists known in the whole world and brought honour and fame to the University of Tartu. The article describes the embryological studies by Karl Friedrich Burdach, Martin Heinrich Rathke, Carl Bogislaus Reichert, Ernst Reissner, Emil Woldermar Rosenberg, Carl Wilhelm von Kupffer, Arthur Boettcher (Böttcher), Karl Dietrich Barfurth, Maximilian Gustav Christian Carl Braun, August Antonius Rauber and Nikolai Czermak.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Anlässlich seines 170. Geburtstages soll Carl Wernicke als Hauptvertreter einer neurobiologischen Psychiatrie im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert gewürdigt werden. Anliegen der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, mögliche Beziehungen Wernickes und der „Wernicke-Kleist-Leonhard (WKL) Schule“ zur „Erlanger Schule“ der Psychiatrie näher zu beleuchten. Methoden: Primär- und Sekundärliteratur wurden unter dem Aspekt der Hypothesenprüfung ausgewertet. Quellenarbeit erfolgte. Ergebnisse: Wernickes Bemühen um die klinische Umsetzung seines nosologischen Systems wurde von seinem jüngsten Hallenser Schüler Karl Kleist (1879–1960) fortgesetzt. Nach Wernickes frühem Unfalltod wurde Kleist zum Schüler Gustav Spechts (1860–1940) in Erlangen. Geprägt von der „Erlanger Schule“ Spechts entwickelte der spätere Kleist-Schüler Karl Leonhard (1904–1988) auf der Grundlage der Forschungen Wernickes und Kleists eine sehr differenzierte Aufteilung endogener Psychosen. Diskussion: Die von Specht begründete klassische „Erlanger Schule“ der Psychiatrie stellt möglicherweise ein Bindeglied in der Entwicklung der „Wernicke-Kleist-Leonhard Schule“ dar. Wernickes Beschreibung der „Angstpsychose“ veranlasste Specht zu einer Abhandlung über den Angstaffekt im „manisch-depressiven Irresein“. Diese wiederum regte Karl Leonhard zu seiner späteren Konzeption der „Angst-Glücks-Psychose“ an. Generell hatte Leonhard unter Spechts Leitung ein Gespür für Bipolaritäten als entscheidenden Aspekt seines späteren Konzeptes der zykloiden Psychosen entwickelt. Spechts Darstellung zum „pathologischen Affekt“ in der Paranoia beeinflusste das Leonhardsche Konzept der „affektvollen Paraphrenie“. Schluss: Moderne Verfahren der funktionellen Bildgebung eröffnen dem Lokalisationsgedanken Wernickes neue Perspektiven. Die naturwissenschaftlich-philosophische „Doppelausrichtung“ der WKL-Schule kann zu einer erneut vermehrten Integration von philosophischen Elementen (Ethik, Religiosität, Spiritualität) im psychiatrisch-psychosomatischen und psychotherapeutischen Berufsfeld anregen.

This essay serves as the introduction to the authors’ translation of Karl Knies’ essay “Die nationaloekonomische Lehre vom Werth” (1855). Knies is one of the acknowledged founders of the Older German Historical School, and yet in recent years several writers have described his 1855 essay as seminal in the evolution of marginal utility analysis. The authors examine how Knies develops his nascent theory of marginal reasoning in his essay, arguing that rather than cling to his earlier historicist programmatic, Knies attempts to discover general laws; however, not by strict causal analysis but by a typical ‘German art’ of taxonomy and classification that resembles juridical argumentations. This results in an ambiguous text, which influenced several marginalist pioneers who studied under Knies at Heidelberg (including Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, Friedrich von Wieser, and John Bates Clark), as well as several members of the Younger German Historical School (including Gustav von Schmoller).

The era of the French Revolution and the Napoleon Wars left a deep mark not only on political, social, and cultural life in German-speaking Europe, but also on German academic historiography as it emerged over the course of the nineteenth century. Both before and after the formation of theKaiserreich, professional historians like Leopold von Ranke, Johann Gustav Droysen, Heinrich von Sybel, and Heinrich von Treitschke sought in their scholarship to justify Prussia's leadership role in Germany, and the French revolutionary and Napoleonic years figured centrally in this effort. For Friedrich Meinecke, writing in the Wilhelmine years, a remembrance of this era was crucial if Germany was to retain its intellectual and moral bearings: “One thing is clear: the survival and continuity of German intellectual life is somehow related to the events between 1807 and 1815—the liberation of Germany from foreign rule, and the transformation of Prussia, her most powerful state, into a freer, more national political entity.” InDas Zeitalter der deutschen Erhebung(1906), Meinecke related the process by which the formerly apolitical, individualistic musings of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm von Humboldt, and Johann Gottlieb Fichte were given practical, political implementation in the reforms of Karl vom Stein, Karl von Hardenberg, and Gerhard von Scharnhorst, and then in the Wars of Liberation: “By descending to the state, the spirit not only preserved its own endangered existence as well as that of the state, it secured a reservoir of moral and psychological wealth, a wellspring of creative power for later generations.”

Anhand möglicher und erwiesener personeller Verbindungen, aufgrund von quellenkritischen Überlegungen ebenso wie mittels musikalischer Analysen wird erörtert, inwiefern die Kenntnis von Werken Palestrinas Bachs eigene Kompositionen beeinflusste. Daran anknüpfend wird besprochen, inwieweit das Vorbild von Palestrinas stile antico für mitteldeutsche Komponisten der Bach-Generation überhaupt bedeutend war. Besonders findet Johann G. Walther Erwähnung. Ausgehend von neu aufgefundenen Palestrina-Manuskripten aus Bachs Notenbibliothek, die nachweislich mit Walther in Verbindung stehen, wird die Frage aufgeworfen, inwiefern der Austausch des Weimarer mit dem Weißenfelser Hof mit seiner belegbaren Palestrina-Pflege Anstoß für die Auseinandersetzung beider Komponisten mit dem Italiener war.

Karl Amadeus Hartmann, während des Dritten Reichs in der inneren Emigration und nach eigener Aussage Verweigerer jeglicher Öffentlichkeit in Hitlerdeutschland, schrieb die Schauspielmusik zu William Shakespeares "Macbeth" für eine Produktion des Bayerischen Staatsschauspiels im März 1942. In der gesamten Münchner Presse wurde Hartmanns Musik mit hoher Anerkennung aufgenommen; man sprach von einer Veroperung der Inszenierung. Hartmanns musikalische Dramaturgie, die sich inhaltlich auf die "Macbeth"-Interpretation Gustav Landauers stützt, konstituiert sich in einer Vielzahl flexibler musikalischer Motive und kleiner Nummern, für die er eine Instrumentalbesetzung symphonischen Ausmaßes vorsah, fallweise erweitert durch solistische und chorische vokale Elemente. Mit diesem Netzwerk stand Hartmann ein Instrumentarium zur Verfügung, das ihm auf der musikalischen Ebene, über die Vorgaben der Textebene hinaus, ein entschiedenes Eingreifen in den szenischen Text und damit eine eigenständige Interpretation jenseits der Lesart des Regisseurs ermöglichte, um in einer zweiten Schicht über der ersten eine deutlich auf das aktuelle nationalsozialistische Zeitgeschehen bezogene politische Stellungnahme zu etablieren. Durch Zitate verknüpfte Hartmann die "Macbeth"-Musik mit seinen ab 1933 entstandenen Werken und den in ihnen eingekapselten Kodierungen, die seine Art des Widerstands gegen das NS-Regime reflektieren. Gleichwohl musste er den Vorwurf riskanter Subversion nicht fürchten: einerseits, weil die wenigen Uraufführungen seiner Werke dieser Zeit im europäischen Ausland stattfanden, demnach nicht an die deutsche Öffentlichkeit gelangt waren, andererseits, weil er in einer geschickten Doppeldramaturgie seine eigentliche, chiffrierte Botschaft hinter einem äußeren Konzept verbarg, das den Normen der NS-Ästhetik nicht zuwiderlief.

<p class="Standard"><span lang="EN-GB">The academic character of the article is connected with the attempt to answer the question asked in the title: Utopia without the law – is it possible? The theoretical arguments provided by the author lead to an affirmative answer to this question and allow for formulating the following thesis: there is no utopia without the law. The law is not only present in utopias, both positive and negative ones (anti-utopias and dystopias) but also, to a great extent, determines their existence and functioning. As a result, it links utopian thinking to reality. Any answer to this question is possible and justifiable in the academic discourse. According to the author of this article not only the law is present in the utopia but the law in the utopia must exist. The essence of the law in utopias is justice, but there is not justice in utopias without wisdom. The Bible, Roman law and philosophical and legal reflection were the sources of an approach to law for the creators of utopia. Referring to the views of such thinkers as: Plato, Immanuel Kant, Rudolf von Ihering, Gustav Radbruch, Karl R. Popper, Bronisław Baczko, the author states that the law is an integral part of both worlds: the utopian world and real world. So, there is not utopia without the law as an idea of jusctice, implemented into the social life of the people who are intelligent beings.</span></p>

ON THE POST-SECULARISATION ORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE IDEA OF COLLECTING THE SPECIALIST LITERATURE IN THE FORMER STATE ARCHIVES IN WROCŁAW STAATSARCHIV BRESLAU UNTIL 1945Specialist literature collected from the first few decades of the existence of the State Archives in Wrocław was a form of specialist aid, with time becoming a collection complementing archive materials. The idea to compile the first independent collection emerged from a conflict between the first archivist, Johann Gustav Gottlieb Büsching and the director, from 1812, of the Central Silesian Library, located in the same building on the Sand Island, Johann Gottlob Schneider, an advocate of abolishing the existing privilege of free access of archivists to the library. The process of amassing archive literature was developed on a broader scale after Schneider’s death in 1822. Among the first publications acquired by the director of the then Royal Silesian Provincial Archives later State Archives, Gustav Adolf Harald Stenzel, were Johann Sinapius’ Schlesische Curiositäten and Friedrich Vater’s Repertorium der preussischen schlesischen Verfassung. Another source for obtaining specialist literature was regular donations from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Considerablesupport for the creation of a typical archive library came from the director, from 1852, of thePrussian State Archives, Karl Wilhelm von Lancizolle, author of the first guidelines on collecting archive specialist literature. Soon another director of the Wrocław institution, Wilhelm Wattenbach, compiled a separate catalogue of acquisitions for the library collection. Eventually, the book collection of the former Staatsarchiv Breslau grew to about 30,000 volumes and contained all the most significant Silesian-themed works from the past. This made the Wrocław archive library ranked sixth among the forty libraries functioning in German state archives. However, the collection was lost when the Archives building in Tiergartenstrasse 13 was destroyed in 1945. Efforts to organise again specialist, Polish State Archives in Wrocław from scratch were undertaken already in the first few years after the second world war and have continued to this day.

In Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Die Leiden des jungen Werthers (1774), a piece of life writing constitutes one of the founding documents of modern German literature. The tragic story of the young bohemian Werther and his beloved Charlotte is partly based on the life and suicide of Goethe's friend Karl Wilhelm Jerusalem, but is also infused with passages from Goethe's own letters and inspired by his unrequited love for Charlotte Buff. Validating Paul De Man's assertion that autobiography is not necessarily a genre or a type of writing, but rather a way of approaching and interpreting literature, Goethe's Werther can equally be read as biography, autobiography or as a work of fiction. Despite the fact that the novel sets the scene for the intricate interplay of life and literature that became a distinguishing mark of European Romanticism, the particular significance of life writing for German literature and thought is obvious if one considers the role of biography for German Historism in the tradition of Leopold Ranke and Gustav Droysen, of autobiographical writing from Goethe's Dichtung und Wahrheit (1811-1833) to Ruth Klüger's Weiter leben (1992), or of auto/biographical tropes in fictional genres like the Bildungsroman. This makes it all the more surprising that no comprehensive study has yet been devoted to the role of life writing within the German context. Even the term ‘life writing,’ bridging the gap between different genres and media, has only recently and somewhat reluctantly been adopted in German-language scholarship. A recent collection of essays, edited by Katja Herges and Elisabeth Krimmer, entitled Contested Selves: Life Writing and German Culture has set itself to remedy this shortcoming.

The overall aim of the article is to investigate the structure and dynamics of the Swedish cultural memory in the nineteenth century. According to the micrological methodology, recommended by leading theorists of cultural memory, the article focuses on five representative texts: three Romantic poems written to the 1818 centenary of Charles XII’s death (Bernhard von Beskow’s “Carl den Tolfte,” Erik Gustaf Geijer’s “Ord till Karl XII:s marsch vid Narva,” and Esaias Tegnér’s “Carl XII”), and two short stories, written in the last decade of the nineteenth century, both depicting the events immediately after the death of Charles XII and thus thematising the cultural memory of the king as communicative memory (Verner von Heidenstam’s “En hjältes likfärd” and August Strindberg’s “Vid Likvakan i Tistedalen”). Analysing the three poems, the article makes an attempt to reconstruct the degree zero structure of the Swedish cultural memory in the nineteenth century. It is argued that the poems’ cultural memory has an eclectic character and requires a kind of archaeological approach. In the first step, the article identifies a tissue of elements, belonging to the pre-industrial cultural memory: cult of the death, burial scenery, relic, fame, ritualization, militarization. The poems subordinate this archaic memory system to the structures which are the products of the nineteenth century and originate from one single social process: industrialization. In the second step, the main part of the article, these industrial components of the poems’ cultural memory are analysed: subjectification, temporalization, historicization, productivization, nationalization, and finally mythicization – the final component is investigated using both Barthesian and Jungian conceptual apparatus. In the third and last step, the article studies the development of this degree zero memory structure during the nineteenth century. Two main evolutionary trends, rooted in two different modifications of the Kantian notion of the Self, are distinguished. The first trend, exemplified by the short story of Heidenstam, implies an existential psychologization of the industrial cultural memory. The second trend, represented by the short story of Strindberg, is based on a naturalistic correction of the Kantian Self and executes a subversive demythicization of the Romantic Charles XII-myth.

Naturalism, as a movement and genre, was heavily influenced by the work of Émile Zola, particularly by his essay, Le roman expérimental (1880). However, despite Zola’s strong influence, Naturalism was also significantly influenced by the ideas of others that go beyond and even predate those of Zola. As a result, Naturalism is generally accepted as having originated in France in the late 19th century, and having extended into the early 20th century, however it soon became an international as well as an interdisciplinary movement and genre. More specific examples of this international and interdisciplinary network of Naturalism can be seen in the writing of Zola, Joris-Karl Husymans, and Oscar Wilde, as well as the painting of Cécile Douard, Vincent van Gogh, Gustave Caillebotte, and Claude Monet. Furthermore, these examples reveal that Naturalism evolved into a more interior branch, as well as a more exterior branch, and they also reveal some strong evolutionary links between not only Naturalism and Impressionism, but also between Naturalism and Decadence/Aestheticism. These latter links have seen little discussion in relation to Naturalism, particularly on the basis of the roles that interiority and exteriority play in the international and interdisciplinary expressions of Naturalism.

The article reconstructs lives of several Russian-language interpreters acting in Sweden during the reign of Gustav I Vasa (1523–1560) on the basis of Swedish and Russian archival sources. The socio-professional group of Russian-language interpreters (ryssetolkar) has been well known in Sweden since late 16th century, and its best times (mainly in the 17th century) are thoroughly studied by the Finnish historian Kari Tarkiainen. The authors suggest that the origins of this group should be sought in late 1530s — early 1540s, and that the Hanseatic environment might have played a part in this process at its earliest stage because the first interpreters known to us by names, Albrecht Tolck and Larens van Värnen, seem to have been of German origin, although we know very little of them. Three other ryssetolkar — Michel Andersson, Hans Larsson Skalm, and especially Bertil Jöransson (Jörensson, Göransson) — ar somewhat better known. The authors conclude that close connections to Finland, especially to the castle of Viborg (Fin. Viipuri, Rus. Vyborg), were typical of the members of this socio-professional group at the very initial phase already. In addition, the sources of the period in question show that prospective interpreters could go to Russia to study Russian and that they sometimes were bound by family ties. The two latter features were not so prominent in the first half of the 16th century, but they would become very typical of the ryssetolkar community later on.

With the proliferation of European Union soft law instruments (Oana Andreea Ştefan, European Union Soft Law: New Developments Concerning the Divide Between Legally Binding Force and Legal Effects, 75(5) Modern L. Rev., 879, 879 (2012).) since the nineties, the legal bindingness of these measures has been the subject of several studies, (Most prominently, Gustaaf M. Borchardt & Karel C. Wellens, Soft Law in European Community Law 14(5) Eur. L. Rev. (1989); Linda Senden, Soft Law in European Community Law (Hart 2004); Linda Senden, Soft Law and Its Implications for Institutional Balance in the EC, 1(2) Utrecht L. Rev.(2005); Jürgen Schwarze, Soft Law im Recht der Europäischen Union,1 EuR (2011); Anne Peters, Soft Law as a New Mode of Governance, in The Dynamics of Change in EU Governance, 21–51 (Udo Diedrichs, Wulf Reiners & Wolfgang Wessels eds, Edward Elgar 2011); Oana Andreea Ştefan, Soft Law and the Enforcement of EU Law, in The Enforcement of EU Law and Values: Ensuring Member States’ Compliance (András Jakab & Dimitry Kochenov eds, Oxford University Press 2016).) indeed, various approaches (rationalist, constructivist, hybridity) (David M. Trubek, Patrick Cottrell & Mark Nance, ‘Soft Law’,‘Hard Law’, and European Integration: Toward a Theory of Hybridity, 02(05) Jean Monnet Working Paper (2005); Oana Andreea Ştefan, Hybridity Before the Court: A Hard Look at Soft Law in the EU Competition and State Aid Case Law, 37(1) Eur. L. Rev. 49–69 (2012).) have been deployed to define and delimit soft law from hard law, even arriving at a sophisticated taxonomy of soft and hard measures. (Fabien Terpan, Soft Law in the European Union – The Changing Nature of EU Law. Working Paper Nr. 7 Sciences Po Grenoble (Nov. 2013); Anne Peters, Typology, utility and Legitimacy of European Soft Law, in Die Herausforderung von Grenzen. Festschrift für Roland Bieber, 405–428 (Astrid Epiney, Marcel Haag & Andreas Heinemann eds., Nomos 2007); Peter Christian Müller Graf, Das Soft Law der Europäischen Organisationen: Einführung, in Das soft law der europäischen Organisationen, 146–154 (Julia Iliopoulos-Strangas & Jean-Francois Flauss eds., Nomos 2012).) While these inquiries are of fundamental importance to formulate an ontology of European soft law, national courts and authorities implementing and applying soft law are faced with the more practical problem of the bindingness of these measures in a given case. Member States are often at a loss for which measures they are expected to apply and may ʻunexpectedlyʼ find themselves bound by certain soft law measures. Since the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union sheds some light on the legal obligations ensuing from the different types of European soft law, the present article is an attempt to categorize and determine the bindingness of such measures for national courts and authorities based on the relevant case-law of the Court.

BackgroundThe existing EULAR Recommendations for the non-pharmacological core management of hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) were published in 2013. A considerable number of new studies on various non-pharmacological treatment modalities have been published since then. Hence, it is time to update the Recommendations for the non-pharmacological core management of hip and knee OA.ObjectivesThe objective of this project was to perform an updated systematic literature review and to update the 2013 EULAR Recommendations for the non-pharmacological core management of hip and knee osteoarthritis, accordingly.MethodsThe standardised operating procedures for EULAR-endorsed Recommendations[1]were used as a framework for this project. A multi-disciplinary Task Force (TF) including 9 physiotherapists, 6 rheumatologists, 2 orthopaedic surgeons, 2 psychologists, 2 patient research partners, 1 occupational therapist, 1 nurse, 1 general practitioner and 1 nutrition expert from 13 European countries was established. Based on the original search strategy underpinning the original 11 recommendations, 11 updated PICOs (Population, Intervention, Control, Outcome) were agreed upon by the TF members in the first digital meeting in January 2022. Systematic literature searches were conducted from 1stJanuary, 2012 until 27thMay, 2022 aiming to identify new evidence related to non-pharmacological core treatment interventions for hip and knee OA. Evidence was primarily collected from published systematic reviews (SRs) and secondarily, from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) if no relevant, updated SR was available. The retrieved evidence was discussed in 5 digital subgroup meetings and subsequently presented to all TF members in the second plenary digital meeting in November 2022. Here, the recommendations were revised based on the new evidence and discussions and TF members voted on each newly proposed recommendation to reach consensus (more than 75 % in favour). After the meeting TF members completed a web-based survey to ascertain the Level of Agreement (LoA) (0-10, 10=totally agree) with each recommendation and prioritize the order of the recommendations for implementation activities.ResultsBased on evidence from 67 SRs and 31 RCTs, the TF agreed to rephrase and change two of the 11 existing recommendations into two overarching principles; one concerning the initial assessment with a biopsychosocial approach and one on the use of shared decision-making in treatment. The remaining 9 original recommendations were revised into 8 updated recommendations, as the recommendations on footwear and on walking aids and other assistive devices were combined. The 8 updated recommendations concern the application of: 1) an individualised, multicomponent management plan; 2) delivery of information, education and self-management strategies; 3) delivery of exercise with adequate dosage and progression; 4) the mode of delivery of exercise; 5) education on maintaining a healthy weight and support with weight loss when indicated; 6) advice on walking aids and assistive devices; 7) work-related advice; and 8) application of behaviour-change techniques to improve lifestyle. The lowest mean LOA for the 8 revised recommendations was 9.2 and the highest 9.8. Recommendation 2) was ranked by the TF as having the highest priority for implementation.ConclusionThe updated overarching principles and recommendations for the non-pharmacological core management of hip and knee OA are based on previous evidence and on new evidence from relevant SRs and RCTs published during the last 10 years and on discussions by a multi-disciplinary TF. A plan for dissemination and implementation will be developed, with emphasis on the recommendation on patient education, with the ultimate aim to improve the quality of care for people with hip and knee OA.Reference[1]van der Heijde D, Aletaha D, Carmona L, et al. 2014 Update of the EULAR standardised operating procedures for EULAR-endorsed recommendations.Annals of the rheumatic diseases. 2015;74(1):8.Acknowledgements:NIL.Disclosure of InterestsTuva Moseng: None declared, T.P.M.

Dear Readers, As we begin a new year full of potential and opportunity, we wish each of you much joy and success. As we embark on this journey, we al-so celebrate a significant milestone – the fifteenth anniversary of the European Journal of Geography. Over the past decade and a half, our journal has become a beacon of excellence in the field of geography and the social sciences. This journey has been characterised by unwavering commitment and tireless dedication, a collective endeavour led by the dedicated members of our editorial team and the European Association of Geographers (EUROGEO). Their diligence and passion have been instrumental in making our journal the respected publication it is today. Looking back on our shared history, we are proud to have published over 310 articles dealing with key topics in geography, planning and development. These scholarly contributions have not only explored and analysed important topics, but have also introduced new ideas (Kout-sopoulos, 2022; Manetos et al., 2022), methods (Cramer-Greenbaum, 2023; Krevs et al., 2023; Morawski & Wolff-Seidel, 2023) and data (Hojati & Mokarram, 2016) that will inspire future generations of geographers to transcend conventional disciplinary boundaries. The richness of our content encompasses numerous facets and includes the fields of geography education (Fraile-Jurado & Periáñez-Cuevas, 2023; Humble, 2023; Martínez-Hernández et al., 2023; Mašterová, 2023; Puertas-Aguilar et al., 2023), physical geography (Sánchez-Martínez & Cabrera, 2015), sustainability (Leininger-Frézal et al., 2023; Mally, 2021), tourism (Bandt et al., 2022; Jovanovic et al., 2022), geoin-formatics (Batsaris et al., 2023; Vestena et al., 2023), spatial analysis (Agourogiannis et al., 2021; Bartzokas-Tsiompras & Photis, 2020b; Wieland, 2022), remote sensing (Younes et al., 2023), maps (Nedkov et al., 2018; Papaioannou et al., 2020), geoinformation (Bartha & Kocsis, 2011; Bart-zokas-Tsiompras, 2022), economic (Doukissas et al., 2020; Mikhaylova, 2018), social (Mei & Liempt, 2022; Roșu et al., 2015), political (Kevicky, 2023; Tsitsaraki & Petracou, 2023) and cultural (Gusman & Otero-Varela, 2023) geography, geopolitics (Morgado, 2023) as well as environmental (Burić et al., 2023; Prodanova & Varadzhakova, 2022), urban (Chondrogianni & Stephanedes, 2021; Lagarias et al., 2022) and transport (Garrido, 2013; Kellerman, 2023; Koktavá & Horák, 2023) geography/planning (González, 2017). Each article, a testament to the diversity and depth of knowledge within our community, has played a crucial role in energising discourse in our academic environment. Several EJG articles addressed current global crises and challenges such as climate change, COVID-19, wars and economic recession. They show how important geography is when it comes to finding solutions and new insights to the many problems that threaten our world. This interconnected approach underlines the journal's commitment to engaging with both the specialised academic discourse and the broader global challenges of our time. Authors, editors, board members, reviewers and readers are the lifeblood of this academic platform, and we recognise and appreciate your invaluable role in the success of the European Journal of Geography. Your commitment has fuelled our growth and you are an essential part of our legacy. We take our fifteenth anniversary as an opportunity to invite and encourage you to contribute to the continued success of the journal by submitting new and original geographical research articles. Here's to another year of scholarly work, meaningful collaborations and the continued advancement of geographical knowledge. We would also like to take a moment to recognise the incredible efforts of 95 professors and researchers who served as reviewers for the European Journal of Geography in 2023. Their expertise and dedication have been invaluable in maintaining the quality of our publications. In addition, the journal features 18 distinguished editorial board members from 12 countries, including renowned experts (60% men, 40% women) from various geographical research fields (This year we welcome 10 esteemed new members to our Editorial Board).

ZusammenfassungUm die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts war Johannes Müller der unbestritten vielseitigste und genialste Physiologe seines Zeitalters. Müller wurde im Jahre 1801 als ältestes von 5 Kindern in Koblenz geboren. Er erhielt eine hervorragende Ausbildung in Mathematik und den alten Sprachen und konnte so die Schriften von Aristoteles im Original mühelos lesen.Nach dem Abitur 1818 diente er ein Jahr bei den Pionieren, 1819 immatrikulierte er sich an der Universität in Bonn. 1821 erhielt er, noch als Student, den Universitätspreis für seine wissenschaftliche Arbeit über die Atmung des Fötus. Müller wurde 1822 in Bonn promoviert und ging anschließend nach Berlin, wo er Vorlesungen des Anatomen Karl Asmund Rudolphi gehört hat.1824 habilitierte er sich in Bonn für Physiologie und vergleichende Anatomie. Nach seinen Bonner Jahren folgte er 1833 dem Ruf an die Berliner Universität auf den Lehrstuhl von Rudolphi. In Berlin erschien sein berühmtes „Handbuch der Physiologie“ (1833–1840). Müllers Arbeitsgebiet betraf die Physiologie, die Humananatomie sowie die vergleichende zoologische Anatomie und pathologische Anatomie.Müller hat eine Vielzahl an Publikationen und Schriften hinterlassen. Er und seine zahlreichen Schüler (Emil du Bois-Reymond, Ernst Haeckel, Hermann von Helmholtz, Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle, Carl Ludwig, Theodor Schwann und Rudolf Virchow etc.) begründeten den Weltruhm des Berliner Physiologischen Instituts. Die Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts vorherrschende naturphilosophisch ausgerichtete Denkweise der Medizin wurde durch Müller mehr und mehr durch eine naturwissenschaftlich orientierte ersetzt.
