The Germanen. Eine archäologische Bestandsaufnahme exhibition, staged in Berlin and Bonn in 2020-2021, revived the debate on the ancient Germani. These barbarian cultures of the Iron Age were never fully subjugated by the Roman Empire, which they eventually replaced by becoming the protagonists on the medieval geopolitical stage. Shaped by Protestant Humanism, the myth of the Germani fuelled the extensive processes underlying the North European – especially German – collective memory, thus influencing academic studies, art and – sadly – political, and racial propaganda.

Abstract
The Germanen. Eine archäologische Bestandsaufnahme exhibition, staged in Berlin and Bonn in 2020-2021, revived the debate on the ancient Germani. These barbarian cultures of the Iron Age were never fully subjugated by the Roman Empire, which they eventually replaced by becoming the protagonists on the medieval geopolitical stage. Shaped by Protestant Humanism, the myth of the Germani fuelled the extensive processes underlying the North European – especially German – collective memory, thus influencing academic studies, art and – sadly – political, and racial propaganda.File in questo prodotto:
