Descriptionof Germania
Manufacturer

Arminius, also known as Hermann the Cheruscan, became the "first German" 2,000 years ago, the Old Icelandic Edda the German pagan bible, and the medieval Nibelungenlied, over 800 years old, the national epic of the Germans. Why have the Germans, since the Renaissance, so readily embraced Germanic history and culture? How did the instrumentalization of Norse mythology and its eventual misuse in the "Third Reich" come about? What does the current form of cultural appropriation look like? Arnulf Krause examines the Germans and their myths, deciphering how our national legends originated and how they function. A chapter on their adaptation in various art forms, from fantasy and film to the Nibelungen Festival in Worms, extends the overview to the present day.
