Postdoc Agrarian History Uni Kassel. Interested in early modern Germany, cattle breeding, race, gender and rural inequality & the Oeconomic Enlightenment. Also Brown Swiss cows, Baroque choirs & prairies. He/him.
And this is why you read to the end before posting...Jürgen Zimmerer makes the same argument!

We knew that leaving colonialism out was coming, but this argument about the singularity of the Shoa doesn't hold much weight as long as the victims of the SED are given prominent place alongside NS (symbolically at the press conference as well) taz.de/Neues-Gedenk...

Also, here is a different pattern of yellow and brown, this was in March here.

Interesting exhibit of bird specimens in "packing boxes" at the Naturkundemuseum in Berlin during their renovations, but I don't understand why an exhibit in 2025 would present a 'cute' anecdote as actual human-animal history.

A glimpse of draft cows with forehead yokes at 1:50 for anyone interested in forgotten aspects of working animals (@neolithicsheep.bsky.social ?). Of course the newsreel as a whole presents a very romanticized view of postwar rural life in West Germany. www.ardmediathek.de/video/br-ret...

A very exact garden thief in 1764: they stole "a watering can, a hoe, 62 head of lettuce, and that many onions" during the night.

Doing their best to keep me from getting back to work after the holidays.

Don't think I have ever seen this many storks on single roofs, but then again, they 'should' have flown off several months ago.

Fascinating workshop bringing together continental European and Anglophone perspectives on the industrialization of animal ag, which hasn't happened enough yet. Coincidentally, I will be visiting a museum at a former breeding research facility with students, here's hoping there's a publication.

Fall has truly arrived here. The views definitely made the 500 vertical meters of pedaling worth it. (Hidden in the fog of the second picture is one of the monasteries at the heart of my current project on peasant families and gendered labor)

Perusing the slate of official exhibitions for the anniversary of the Peasant's War next year for a course. Very disappointing that a state museum is exploiting the unpaid work of artists by centering an entire exhibit on 'AI' depictions of historical actors.

And not a memorial in a public area, but in a museum, a list of names inside a tower which is now a 'documentation center' for victims of witch hunting. This in Zeil am Main, which was a district town of the Bishopric of Bamberg, zeiler-hexenturm.de.

Finally adding to the list of monuments, this is a memorial in Bamberg, actually intended to be partly orange, unlike the other mentioned above. This was created in response to a couple of different campaigns.

Love road cycling too, but gravel is an almost perfect mix of range and versatility for visiting out of the way sites like this late Gothic chapel ruin in the middle of a former common 'waste'. P

I was one of the big wave when they finally got rid of invites...

Fun bat and ball weekend in London at the Oval and London Stadium. Can't decide if it was cooler to see the Phanatic up close or Bryce Harper and Francisco Lindor.

Here are some more 17th century Swabian ox names, but the ones from the list where I have no idea what they mean, maybe a Swabian dialect expert can help!

Just in case anyone was wondering about the historical accuracy of Manor Lords' delightful oxen names, here are a few names of oxen from a Swabian song from 1633. Manor Lords is inspired by 15th century Franconia, but it seems like these names were typical across southern Germany for centuries.

These are delightful, just learning #puttiofscience is a thing. Does this qualify as a putto of (agricultural) science? (Joachim Bergen, Anleitung zur Viehzucht für die Landwirthe, 1785)

Never got around to asking for an invite, but delighted to see that historians I followed on the other app are mostly here!
As an introduction, a colossal ox from a model farm I did my Phd on, bringing together racialized ideas of breeds and Enlightenment. www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...
