Some two decades ago, Peter Fritzsche wrote the first of two influential essays that questioned the then common conviction that Weimar Germany was all about doom and gloom. What is distinctive about twentieth-century German culture, he argued, is not simply `crisis'---economic, political, cultural---but the widespread consciousness of crisis and the allied conviction that these emergency conditions could be managed to Germany's advantage. Recently, Fritzsche's view has been taken up and expanded by a younger generation of German scholars, who have detailed how crisis meant different things to different people, often denoting the possibility of favorable change. This insistence on crisis as the beginning of something (positively) new is in many ways the most far-reaching application of the anti-teleological turn in Weimar historiography.
