The idea of German cultural regions in the Third Reich : the work of Franz Petri

Auteur :
DITT, K.

Description :
The article considers the German idea of the cultural region between the wars, with particular reference to the work of Franz Petri. Drawing on a self-consciously modern integration of archaeological, historical and geographical research, he was a pioneering figure in the so-called Kulturraumforschung school. His method involved an attempt to reconstruct Germanic cultural traditions and legacies in Belgium and northern France through a detailed investigation of Medieval field and place names, burial sites and skeletons.
