The way in which people look back on past eras or events is decisive for their political and social self-image. This volume deals with various concepts of remembrance and the struggle for historical memory from different perspectives. The focus is on the culture of remembrance in the Netherlands, Belgium and Flanders, Luxembourg and Germany. Practices of remembrance of the Nazi era and the Second World War, the Reformation and the uprising against Spain in Belgium and Luxembourg, the Dutch War of Independence and the history of Flanders are addressed. Rupture lines emerge with regard to the genocide in Srebrenica (1995) and the German-Dutch rivalry in soccer. It also deals with a heated scholarly dispute in the Netherlands over an 18th century Duisburg disputation, the reception of works by the writer Carmen Sylva, a princess with Lower Rhine roots, in the Netherlands around 1900 and the National Socialist Rhineland State Farmers' Council, which has been neglected in historical research to date.
