This paper presents some of the major aspects of the history of German exile after 1933 and the history of the exile of German-speaking writers and intellectuals in Brazil. The second part of the title is focused on the works of exile written by Ulrich Becher and Hugo Simon in Brazil.
Instituto Martius-Staden is a German-Brazilian institution of culture, history, and language in São Paulo. Founded in 1916 as an association of German teachers, the institute survived difficult times in the fourth and fifth decades of the century. The main problems were the laws and rules of the Vargas-period and the attempted ideological expansion of Nazi-Germany. The institute set up arquives and a library of German immigration and gathered a huge collection of mainly Brazilian-based German newspapers. In later years library sections of arts, German literature, and history were added. Since 1953 the institute has issued an annual publication named "Staden Jahrbuch" with contributions of renowned authors mainly on Brazil.
Angola hat, besonders im 19. Jh., zahlreiche deutsche Forschungsreisende angezogen, die aber nur selten Berücksichtigung finden. Ihnen widmet sich dieses Buch, das zugleich Neuinterpretation, Handbuch und Anthologie ist. Darüber hinaus vermittelt es grundsätzliche Einblicke in die Geschichte der Ethnologie. 30 Kurzbiographien geben Hinweise zum Lebenslauf der Forschungsreisenden mit den Hauptdaten und dem Verlauf der Reise(n) in Angola, ihren Zielen, den Veröffentlichungen, sowie zu ethnographischen Sammlungen und visueller Dokumentation. Sie werden durch Textbeispiele aus den Werken der betreffenden Afrikareisenden ergänzt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk wird jeweils auf das Bild gerichtet, das sich die deutschen Reisenden von den afrikanischen Menschen gemacht haben, sowie auf die Art und Weise und den Kontext, in dem ihre späteren Publikationen über diese Begegnungen zustande kamen. Spezialbibliographien zu jedem der Forscher vermitteln erstmals eine umfassende bibliographische Übersicht. Über die biographischen Aspekte hinaus geht es im wesentlichen, vor allem in der ausführlichen Einführung, um die Entstehungsbedingungen und die Entstehungsgeschichte unserer Quellen, um die spezifischen Umstände und den allgemeinen Kontext der Produktion unseres Wissens. Abbildungen einiger Skulpturen aus den mitgebrachten ethnographischen Sammlungen, die wir heute als Meisterwerke afrikanischer Kunst bewundern, bilden einen eindrucksvollen visuellen Kontrast zu den meist abschätzigen Urteilen ihrer Sammler über diesen "Fetischkram".
This paper discusses the role of German Jesuit priests in the conquest of the lower amazon area in the 17th century. The Luxemburg missionary John Philip Bettendorff, founder of the second largest city of Pará, Santarém, was one of the most important figures while colonizing the Estate of Maranhão e Great-Pará. His chronicle is not only an important testimony of the settlements’ history but also of the Jesuit activities as handicraft workers and artists while catechizing this region. Thus, it comprehends a part of the rich cultural memory of colonial Brazil.

The story “Os dois vizinhos. Cenas da Colônia” (Die beiden Nachbarn. Bilder aus der Kolonie), written by Wilhelm Rotermund, was published in 1883 and 1884 in two parts in the Kalender für die Deutschen in Brasilien. The text by Rothermund represents many relevant aspects of the immigration of German Lutherans to Brazil. This article will first give an overview on the work of Wilhelm Rotermund and than offer a critical analysis of "Die beiden Nachbarn. Bilder aus der Kolonie". A third point of interest will be the importance of preserving the mother language (German) and the rural-urban relationship.
German immigration to Brazil starts in the 19th century. In Brazil, the Literature of German Immigrants has been the subject of many studies. On the other hand, the literary production on immigration to Brazil produced in Germany during this period, is still quite unknown. This article will discuss one specific poem in this context, a text from 1847 called 'Traurige Rückwanderung der Brasilianer nach ihrem jüngst verlassenen Vaterlande'.
Contém trinta biografias resumidas de exploradores alemães, na sua maioria, do século XIX, que fizeram pesquisas etnográficas em Angola. As biografias são complementadas por textos extraidos das suas obras, que incluem alguns dos seus relatos etnográficos mais importantes. Dá-se especial atenção à imagem dos viajantes alemães sobre os africanos, bem como às condições e ao contexto em que posteriormente foram redigidos os textos publicados sobre esses encontros. Para além dos aspectos biográficos, interessam-nos sobretudo as condições e a história das origens das nossas fontes, as circunstâncias e o contexto geral da produção do nosso conhecimento. A bibliografia específica sobre cada um dos exploradores fornece, pela primeira vez, uma visão bibliográfica abrangente. As reproduções de algumas esculturas de colecções etnográficas trazidas por esses exploradores, que hoje admiramos como obras primas da arte africana, constituem um contraste visual ilucidativo em relação aos juízos geralmente depreciativos dos coleccionadores acerca desta „tralha feiticista“.
