Unter den vielen Kindern Maria Theresias galt Marie Christine nicht nur als Lieblingstochter ihrer berühmten Mutter, sondern auch als die künstlerisch begabteste. Noch heute ist ihr Name untrennbar mit der Albertina verbunden, ihre eigenen Werke finden allgemein Anerkennung. Maria Christinas Zeit als Statthalterin der Österreichischen Niederlande war in die Tage der revolutionären Wirren gefallen. Als Napoleon die politische Weltbühne betrat hatte sich die Erzherzogin bereits ins Privatleben zurückgezogen. Gemeinsam mit der Habsburgerinnen- Forscherin Julia Meister (@jmeister_habsburgerinnen) sprechen wir über das Schicksal einer selbstbewussten Frau, zwischen den Fronten von Politik und künstlerischen Schaffen. 

Die Philippinen – ein Inselreich aus über 7.000 Inseln – liegen scheinbar weit weg von Wien, Prag oder Madrid. Und doch waren sie im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert ein entscheidender Knotenpunkt im habsburgischen Weltreich.Wir reisen zurück zu Ferdinand Magellan, der 1521 im Auftrag von Karl V. auf den Philippinen landete – und dort sein Leben verlor. Wenige Jahrzehnte später machten Miguel López de Legazpi und der Augustiner Andrés de Urdaneta die Inseln zu einer festen Kolonie Spaniens.Vor allem Urdanetas Entdeckung der Rückroute über den Pazifik ermöglichte die legendären Manila-Galeonen: einmal im Jahr segelten sie nach Acapulco, beladen mit Seide, Porzellan und Gewürzen – bezahlt mit Silber aus Amerika.So verbanden die Philippinen Asien, Amerika und Europa. Sie brachten Globalisierung in die Habsburgerzeit: Porzellantassen für den neuen Modetrank Kakao, exotische Gewürze in der Küche, Seidenstoffe in die Mode. Gleichzeitig aber auch Zwangsarbeit, Kolonialherrschaft und Christianisierung – Spuren, die bis heute sichtbar sind.Wir sprechen über die militärische Sicherung Manilas, die Rolle der Missionare, das Ende der habsburgischen Epoche 1700 und den langen Weg der Philippinen in die Unabhängigkeit. Und wir entdecken dabei, wie weit der Arm der Habsburger reichte – bis an den Pazifik.+++

In the final episode of her short series on the Habsburg dynasty, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb turns to one of the most fascinating and misunderstood rulers of early modern Europe: Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor. Often remembered—if at all—as the "mad emperor" who withdrew from politics and lost his grip on power, Rudolf's story is far richer than the stereotype. Instead of governing from Vienna or Madrid, he relocated his imperial court to Prague, transforming it into a dazzling hub of art, science, alchemy, and astrology. Was he truly unfit to rule, or has history been unfair? Suzannah is joined by Professor Thomas Kaufmann to re-examine Rudolf II's reign not as decline, but as a bold, eccentric vision of imperial rule during a turbulent age of religious wars, Protestant uprisings, Ottoman expansion, and dynastic rivalries.MORE:Rise of the HabsburgsChales V, Habsburg Holy Roman EmperorPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

When we think of the Habsburgs, the spotlight usually falls on emperors, kings, and archdukes—powerful men who dominated Europe. But behind the scenes, across five generations, an extraordinary line of Habsburg women quietly wielded immense influence in the Netherlands. Their names are often overlooked, yet their impact was profound.In this third episode of our special series on the Habsburg dynasty, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb and historian Natalie Donnell explore the lives of these remarkable women who governed with skill, diplomacy, and resilience in a world rarely welcoming to female power. From Mary of Burgundy, who defied French aggression, to Margaret of Austria, the formidable regent who raised Charles V, to Mary of Hungary, who steered the Netherlands through decades of turmoil, these women shaped the dynasty's fate.MORE:Habsburg Inbreeding with Dr. Adam Rutherford >When Women Ruled the Low Countries >Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Biblical prophecy researcher and author, Gary Wayne, explores end-times prophecy and the forces behind it, from Merovingian bloodlines to Israel and the New World Order, on episode 218 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Watch Gary's first appearance on our show: Secret Societies, Royal Bloodlines, and Hidden Bible Revelations https://youtu.be/ssCT8HkT0FcGary Wayne is the author of The Genesis 6, where he examines the hidden role of bloodlines, secret societies, and prophecy in shaping world events. With decades of research into biblical history, mythology, and geopolitics, Wayne is known for connecting ancient narratives to modern movements, from the rise of secret orders to the shaping of global religions.In this wide-ranging conversation, Gary and Faust decode the hidden symbolism of royal heraldry, the influence of Watchers and angels on elite bloodlines, and the prophetic significance of Mount Hermon. They examine the contested legacy of the Priory of Sion and the enduring role of secret societies in shaping history, while also unpacking explosive claims about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and the Merovingian bloodline that have fueled centuries of speculation.The discussion also explores the rise of a universal world religion and the advance of artificial intelligence tie into prophecy. Together, Gary and Faust consider the cycles of history, the “war gene” of ruling elites, and the uneasy alliance between Christian Zionists and Israel in end-times prophecy.In this episode:•Heraldry & prophecy anchors: from royal crests to the mysteries of Mount Hermon•Jesus, Mary Magdalene & Merovingians: bloodline claims and Israel's contested symbols•Watchers, Seraphim, Cherubim, Nephilim, and giants in elite genealogies•Nimrod, Azazel/Baphomet, Pan, and why CERN carries a horned name•Templars to Zionists: from Godfrey de Bouillon and the House of Habsburg to Rothschilds and Christian Zionists steering Israel's destiny•Sabbateans & Frankists: mystical sects and counterfeit messianic movements•Universal religion & AI: red heifer sacrifices, Antichrist expectations, and technology as forbidden wisdom reborn•The Antichrist bloodline: why prophecy points to a ruler rising from elite genealogies•The war gene & false flags: why ruling bloodlines repeat conflict• Prophecies: Sibylline oracles to Nostradamus and today's apocalyptic visions•Celebrity Symbology: Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and the revival of occult imagery in pop culture•Gog vs. Armageddon: the timeline and scale most people misunderstand…and much more!Chapters:00:00 The hidden purpose of giants.01:00 Decoding secret histories and fallen angels.03:04 Heraldry explained: what lions, unicorns and other creatures really mean.04:24 The ancient giants' mission from the gods07:07 Which families rule and how intermarriage changes crests.08:14 Seraphim vs cherubim and the dragon gods10:10 Cherubim's four faces12:14 Crystal bags, tree of life scenes, and watcher depictions.14:19 Why giant traits dilute and reappear in heraldry.16:02 Gargoyles, church imagery and watcher iconography.18:08 How standards and flags encode genealogies20:57 Horned gods, CERN etymology, and the ancient names for destroyer gods.22:44 Mithra, Azazel and the End Times27:18 The star symbols and occult adoption30:07 Moloch explained34:04 Mount Hermon explained36:53 Eden and why the Middle East stays geopolitically central.40:02 Mechanics by which elites try to stage end-time scenarios.47:23 Reading symbols, guarding history, and what comes next.52:01 Partnership between Christian Zionists and Israeli Jews explained53:1we'd love to hear from you

“The Habsburgs ruled half of Europe with a chin that entered the room five minutes before they did,” is one of those witticisms that made the 19th century so amusing. But by then the Habsburg jaw had long receded. It had its heyday in the 16th and 17th century when people in Spain called out to the future emperor Charles V: “Your majesty, shut your mouth! The flies of this country are very insolent.” And when they looked at his later descendant, king Charles II who was probably the worst affected, they said, he was “more Habsburg than human”. But where is the Habsburg Jaw from? The view repeated again and again in history books is that it came from Cymburga of Masovia, the wife of duke Ernst the Iron, but was she really responsible? Or was it something quite different that caused that deformation, and what has it to do with the prostration of duke Friedrich IV before emperor Sigismund in 1415?That is what we are looking at in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

In dieser Folge reisen wir nach Klosterneuburg, nur wenige Kilometer von Wien entfernt. Hier legte Kaiser Karl VI. 1730 den Grundstein für ein gigantisches Bauprojekt: ein „österreichisches Escorial“. Ein Kloster, ein Palast, ein Mausoleum – ein Ort, der seine Herrschaft für die Ewigkeit sichtbar machen sollte.Wir sprechen über Karls große Ambitionen und über sein tragisches Scheitern. Denn der Bau blieb unvollendet, so wie vieles in seinem Leben.Warum Karl VI. nach dem verlorenen Spanischen Erbfolgekrieg überhaupt auf diese Idee kam, welche Rolle der Escorial in Spanien dabei spielte und warum man in Klosterneuburg die Geschichte eines Kaisers bis heute in Stein lesen kann – genau darum geht es in dieser Episode.Natürlich werfen wir auch einen genaueren Blick auf den Spanischen Erbfolgekrieg, der Karl fast zum König von Spanien gemacht hätte. Für kurze Zeit regierte er sogar als „Carlos III.“ in Barcelona, bevor die europäischen Mächte ihn fallen ließen. Was das mit der europäischen Machtbalance zu tun hatte und warum Karl als Kaiser zwar herrschte, aber immer wusste, dass er nicht geworden war, was er hätte sein können – all das beleuchten wir in diesem Gespräch.Und zum Abschluss gibt es noch zwei Anekdoten über Karl VI., die überraschen: der Kaiser als Komponist – und der Kaiser, der angeblich durch ein verhängnisvolles Pilzgericht zu Tode kam.

In the second episode of our special Habsburg dynasty series, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by renowned historian Professor Geoffrey Parker to uncover the extraordinary life of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor—once hailed as the “Monarch of the World.”By the time he abdicated in 1556, Charles presided over the first truly global empire, stretching from the Netherlands and Spain to Austria, Naples, and the Americas, including Peru and the New World. As King of Spain, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, and Lord of the Netherlands, Charles' titles only hinted at the scale of his power.Yet behind the grandeur lay contradictions: a ruler torn between faith and politics, unity and fragmentation, ambition and exhaustion. Drawing on decades of research and thousands of surviving documents, Professor Parker paints a vivid portrait of Charles V's reign—one that defined 16th-century Europe and shaped the course of world history.MORE:When Women Ruled the Low CountriesIsabel & Ferdinand: Renaissance Power CouplePresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

In the first of a special four-part series on the Habsburgs, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb traces the unlikely rise of Europe's most enduring imperial family. Emerging from a modest Swiss noble house in the 10th century, the House of Habsburg would go on to dominate the political, cultural, and religious life of Europe for nearly 400 years. Through strategic marriages, dynastic inheritances, and shrewd political manoeuvring, the Habsburgs expanded their influence to eventually rule a vast empire stretching from the Americas to the Ottoman frontier. Suzannah is joined by Professor Martyn Rady to explore how the Habsburgs built—and nearly broke—an empire without equal.MORE:Habsburg Inbreeding with Dr. Adam Rutherfordhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/3sQ4jrYtuwAFJUfBgbaAXYWhen Women Ruled the Low Countrieshttps://open.spotify.com/episode/2u4fBHVgNhAMiaLjBv4X8ZPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi wurde 1894 in Tokio geboren als Sohn eines österreichischen k.u.k. Diplomaten und seiner japanischen Gattin. Als Schriftsteller, Philosoph und Politiker begründete er 1924 die Pan-Europa-Union, wohl die älteste Einigungsbewegung Europas, der sich nach und nach zahlreiche Prominente anschlossen, wie Albert Einstein, Thomas Mann, Otto von Habsburg und Konrad Adenauer. Ein Jahr nach der Gründung befragte er zahlreiche europäische Intellektuelle und Politiker nach ihren Ansichten zu der Möglichkeit, die Vereinigten Staaten von Europa zu begründen. Interessant ist, dass der eigentlich in diesem Podcast durch sehr konservative bis nationalistische Positionen auffällig gewordene Hamburgische Correspondent in seiner Ausgabe vom 8. September diese Umfrage ausführlich abdruckt und auch den französischen Politikern Raum gibt. Eine Distanzierung von den pazifistischen Ideen lässt sich die Zeitung gleich zu Beginn dann noch nicht nehmen. Für uns lesen die Vereinigten Sprecher*innen von Auf den Tag genau, Rosa Leu und Frank Riede.

Heute reiten wir mit Kaiserin Elisabeth, besser bekannt als Sisi, hinaus auf die Felder Englands. In Northamptonshire, rund um Althorp House, stürzte sie sich ab 1874 in die Welt der großen Fuchsjagden – Seite an Seite mit dem furchtlosen Reiter Bay Middleton.Wer war Bay Middleton? Ein Kavallerieoffizier, Draufgänger und charmanter Stallmeister der Familie Spencer. Er wurde Sisis „Pilot“ über Hecken und Mauern – und ihr vielleicht engster Vertrauter in dieser Zeit.

The crew kicks off with birthday banter, fantasy football chaos, and the wild fallout from a draft-night stream. From there, things spiral into an offbeat but fascinating ride: a deep dive into the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's shocking claim that legendary sheriff Buford Pusser may have killed his own wife, despite being immortalized in the Walking Tall movies as a folk hero. The discussion unpacks government waste, media narratives, and whether reopening decades-old cold cases is justice or just theater. But it doesn't stop there. The hosts veer into the eerie with Italy's famous “blinking mummy,” preserved for over a century, sparking debates about embalming, vampires, and occult symbolism in pop culture. Toss in a detour through Habsburg inbreeding, odd birth defects like “lobster claw” feet, and plenty of sharp humor, and you've got a Friday night hangout that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining. This episode embodies OnlyLands at its finest, irreverent, curious, and unafraid to poke fun at the absurd while unpacking history, mystery, and everything in between.

Rudolf IV of Habsburg (1339–1365), son of Albrecht “the Wise,” reigned as Duke of Austria for just seven years but left a lasting mark. Born when the dynasty seemed close to extinction, Rudolf secured Austria's survival and prestige. Politically, he sought to elevate Vienna by founding the University of Vienna (1365) and beginning construction of St. Stephen's Cathedral. Though he fulfilled his father's ambition to gain the Tyrol, the family fell behind their rivals, namely the Luxemburgs.Rudolf's most audacious act was the Privilegium Maius, a set of forged charters claiming ancient Roman emperors had granted Austria near-sovereign status, primogeniture, and the unique title of Archduke. Though denounced by Petrarch as absurd, the documents shaped Habsburg identity for centuries and underpinned later power.By creating myths of divine and heroic origins, Rudolf forged a sense of Habsburg exceptionalism. Though dying young without heirs, he truly was “the Founder.”The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

The Habsburg dynasty, originating from Radobot's castle in 11th-century Switzerland, rose from obscurity to European prominence. In 1273 Rudolf of Habsburg was elected King of the Romans. Far from the later myth of a poor, humble count, Rudolf was wealthy, shrewd, and ruthless. He expanded his family's holdings through inheritance, war, and diplomacy, eventually securing Austria and Styria after defeating Ottokar II of Bohemia—an acquisition that became the dynasty's heartland.Rudolf's hopes to found a hereditary imperial dynasty failed, and his son Albrecht I was murdered in 1308. For decades, the Habsburgs teetered on decline. Friedrich “the Handsome” briefly contended for the throne but left little mark. His brother Albrecht II “the Wise” revived the family, gaining Carinthia and Carniola in 1335 and shifting focus to Austria. Near extinction due to lack of heirs, the dynasty was saved when Albrecht's wife Joan miraculously bore sons, including Rudolf IV, who would secure the Habsburg future.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Hier, auf kargem Karstboden, gründete 1580 ein Mann ein Gestüt – mit einer Vision, die bis heute nachwirkt.Karl II. von Innerösterreich war kein Kaiser, kein Feldherr, kein Name, den man aus dem Geschichtsunterricht kennt. Aber er war ein Gestalter: einer, der die Dinge dauerhaft anlegte – Bildung, Verwaltung, Zucht. Und einer, der ausgerechnet Pferde zum Symbol seiner Politik machte.Wir erzählen die Geschichte eines Ortes, an dem sich europäische Linien kreuzen. Die Geschichte eines Mannes, der lieber wirkte als herrschte.Und die Geschichte von Tieren, die in Reitkunst und Kultur überlebten – durch Kriege, Kaiser und Katastrophen.Lipica 1580 – Die Geburt der weißen Legende.

"Let others wage war: you, happy Austria, marry'. Is that really it? Did this family acquire an empire where the sun never sets through just luck and longevity?That is what we will try to find out in this season where we follow the family from the murder of king Abrecht I in 1308 to the election of emperor Charles V in 1519. For most of that period the Habsburgs had been languishing in the wilderness. They experienced defeats, divisions and humiliations, were even expelled from their duchy of Austria just before they rose meteorically to world leadership under Maximilian and Charles V. Something must have happened in this period that forged them into the most successful European dynasty. As they say in the music industry, every overnight success was years in the making”.That is why this season is called “The Fall and Rise of the House of Habsburg” and is dedicated to the question, what made the Habsburgs so special.

This Day in Legal History: Switzerland's Federal CharterOn August 1, 1291, the seeds of what would become modern Switzerland were planted with the signing of the Federal Charter, or Bundesbrief, by the cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden. This wasn't the dramatic formation of a nation-state as we think of it today—it was three rural Alpine communities making a legal pact for mutual defense and cooperation in the face of growing Habsburg pressure. The document itself is barely over 300 words long, written in Latin, and mostly focuses on conflict resolution and how not to stab each other in the back (literally and figuratively). But make no mistake, this was a radical assertion of local legal autonomy during a time when imperial rule was the norm.The Federal Charter stands as an early example of federalism—three small political entities entering into a horizontal, legally binding agreement without ceding total sovereignty to a monarch or emperor. In legal terms, it was more covenant than constitution, but its emphasis on mutual aid, lawful arbitration, and collective security laid the groundwork for Switzerland's famously decentralized structure. The signatories agreed to resist foreign judges and unlawful acts of violence, a precursor to ideas we now enshrine in due process and the rule of law.This wasn't a flashy revolution. There were no declarations of independence or fiery speeches. Just some pragmatic legalese scratched onto parchment that said, in effect, “Let's have each other's backs, settle disputes fairly, and not get bossed around by some distant duke.” Over time, this unassuming agreement evolved into the Swiss model of federalism and neutrality that still defines the nation today. It's not just legal history—it's a reminder that even minimalist governance structures can have maximal staying power.Federal judges who issued rulings against Donald Trump's policies have come forward with disturbing accounts of harassment, threats, and violent intimidation. At a “Speak Up For Justice” event, five judges—including Chief U.S. District Judge John McConnell—described receiving death threats, being targets of “swatting” incidents, and even having pizzas delivered to their homes under the name of a murdered judge's son. McConnell, who blocked a major White House funding freeze earlier this year, disclosed that he received six credible death threats and over 400 hostile voicemails. One threat involved someone searching the dark web for his address, saying they wanted "Smith & Wesson to pay him a visit."Judge John Coughenour, who ruled against Trump's effort to limit birthright citizenship, recounted a terrifying police raid on his home due to a false murder report. The FBI later alerted him to a bomb threat. Despite being appointed by Republican President Reagan, Coughenour criticized political attacks on the judiciary as damaging to democratic institutions. The White House called the threats unacceptable and emphasized the importance of judicial safety. On the same day as the event, the Senate confirmed Trump's nominee Gadyaces Serralta to lead the U.S. Marshals Service, who pledged to prioritize judge protection.By mid-June, 408 threats against 297 judges had been logged in the fiscal year. Judge Esther Salas, whose son was murdered in 2020, praised the speaking judges for breaking their silence in defense of judicial independence.US judges recount death threats, 'swatting' after rulings against Trump | ReutersAccording to exclusive reporting done by Reuters, the U.S. State Department plans to allocate up to $7.85 million to support deportation operations in Costa Rica, marking a significant expansion of American-backed regional immigration enforcement. The funds, redirected from an economic development account, will be transferred to the Department of Homeland Security, which will coordinate with Costa Rican authorities to carry out deportations of migrants—especially those transiting through the country en route to the U.S.This arrangement resembles a 2024 Biden-era agreement with Panama, where the U.S. financed detention and deportation of migrants moving northward. The new Costa Rica program is framed as a capacity-building effort that will fund deportation logistics and training on asylum screening. Still, critics warn it could deny vulnerable populations fair access to asylum protections.The plan follows a Trump administration request earlier in the year for Costa Rica to accept 200 migrants from Africa, Asia, and Europe previously detained in the U.S. Many of them remain in Costa Rica, raising questions about long-term outcomes. Details on when deportations will begin or the final destination countries remain unclear.Officials have also acknowledged that some migrants are now traveling south through Costa Rica, fleeing northward crackdowns and the end of Biden's humanitarian parole options. The agreement does not require a direct connection between the migrant and the country to which they may be deported, a detail likely to fuel ongoing human rights concerns.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been visiting countries throughout Latin America to explore similar arrangements, suggesting this may be part of a broader regional deportation strategy under Trump's immigration policy.Exclusive: US plans to fund deportations from Costa Rica, document shows | ReutersThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit closely examined whether President Donald Trump overstepped his authority by using emergency powers to impose sweeping tariffs on foreign imports. The legal challenge, brought by 12 Democratic-led states and five small businesses, centers on Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)—a 1977 law typically used for financial sanctions—to justify tariffs against countries like China, Canada, and Mexico. Judges on the panel, many of whom were appointed by Democratic presidents, expressed skepticism, with one noting the law “doesn't even say tariffs.”This is the first major appellate test of Trump's tariff authority, and it comes just as a deadline approaches for new tariff hikes. Trump has used tariffs aggressively in his second term as both an economic and geopolitical tool, citing trade imbalances and foreign inaction on fentanyl as justifications. The challengers argue that only Congress has the constitutional power to impose tariffs, not the president.While the court has allowed the tariffs to remain in place during the litigation, a final ruling could have major implications. A previous lower court decision had already questioned whether IEEPA allows for tariffs tied to longstanding trade deficits. Meanwhile, tariffs have become a significant revenue source, generating over $100 billion so far this fiscal year—money the administration may need after passing new tax cuts.The case won't affect tariffs enacted under other legal provisions, like those on steel and aluminum. Trump's legal team argues that restricting presidential tariff power would hinder trade negotiations. The president has recently secured agreements with the EU and Japan, and is currently working on deals with Mexico and others to avoid further tariff hikes.US appeals court scrutinizes Trump's use of tariffs as trade deadline looms | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a composer of some note.This week's closing theme is a bright and confident slice of Mozart at his most charming: the Piano Concerto No. 19 in F major, K. 459, first movement, Allegro. Written in 1784 during a period of remarkable productivity, this concerto is one of the six that Mozart composed that year alone—each one displaying a different facet of his evolving style. No. 19 stands out for its buoyancy and rhythmic vitality; it's elegant without being self-serious, energetic but never frantic.Mozart, still in his late twenties, was performing regularly in Vienna, dazzling audiences with works that showcased both his pianistic skill and his compositional inventiveness. This piece was likely written for one of his own concerts, tailored to suit both his technical flair and his subtle wit. The Allegro opens with a playful orchestral theme, crisp and sunny, which soon gives way to the piano's entrance—graceful, witty, and full of character.There's a conversational quality to the movement: the orchestra tosses out ideas, the piano responds, elaborates, jokes, and dances. But beneath its lightheartedness lies Mozart's usual sophistication: unexpected harmonic turns, rhythmic displacements, and crisp motivic development keep the listener alert. The movement doesn't strive for drama or tragedy—it's pure Mozartian joy, rendered in tight musical logic and unfailing charm.As a closer, it offers an ideal farewell note: upbeat, clean, and full of clarity. You leave the room a little taller, a little lighter, like the music has tidied your thoughts and restored your sense of order. Mozart's No. 19 may not be the flashiest of his concertos, but it radiates something rarer: calm confidence, musical humor, and the sense that everything—at least for a few minutes—is exactly where it should be.Without further ado, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 19 in F major, K. 459, first movement, the Allegro.

Hello friends of the History of the Germans Podcast. As I mentioned last episode, I am on holiday now, which means I spend my time reading up about the Habsburg and getting into gear for the next season.In the meantime, I will showcase some podcasts I really enjoy and listen to regularly. And one of those is History Rage. The host, Paul Bavill interviews historians and history podcaster about the one thing they really hope people would stop believing. Interview is such a lame term for what he does, it is more of a therapy session for geeks to let out their rage. Professional historians come armed with evidence, fury, and a burning desire to set the record straight. From “Vikings wore horned helmets” to “Britain stood alone in 1940” and “medieval people never bathed,” this is history with attitude, myth-busting with academic rigor, and truth-telling that pulls no punches. In the last 284 episodes he allowed some of the greatest names in history let off steam, including Roger Moorhouse. In this episode you will hear right now, Roger goes after the focus on Stauffenberg in the remembrance of the resistance against the Nazis inside Germany. By doing so, he argues, we are overlooking equally if not more deserving figures like Henning von Tresckow and the other members of the Kreisauer Kreis. And by the way Paul even allowed yours truly to vent about the perennial pun that the Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire. That will come out on September 29. So in the meantime here is History Rage with: Stauffenberg: Hero or Hypocrite? The Complex Legacy of the July 20th Plot with Roger MoorhouseI hope you enjoy it.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Professor Omer Bartov recently wrote an op ed in The New York Times titled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.” The United States Holocaust Memorial Mueseum has cited him as one of the world's leading specialist on genocide. Professor Bartov shares his insight.Omer Bartov Bio: Born in Israel and educated at Tel Aviv University and St. Antony's College, Oxford, Omer Bartov's early research concerned the Nazi indoctrination of the Wehrmacht and the crimes it committed in World War II, analyzed in his books, The Eastern Front, 1941-1945, and Hitler's Army. He then turned to the links between total war and genocide, discussed in his books Murder in Our Midst, Mirrors of Destruction, and Germany's War and the Holocaust. Bartov's interest in representation also led to his study, The "Jew" in Cinema, which examines the recycling of antisemitic stereotypes in film. His more recent work has focused on interethnic relations in the borderlands of Eastern Europe. Recent publications include Erased: Vanishing Traces of Jewish Galicia in Present-Day Ukraine (2007), Anatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczacz (2018), winner of the National Jewish Book Award, and Tales from the Borderlands: Making and Unmaking the Galician Past (2022). His many edited volumes include Shatterzone of Empires: Coexistence and Violence in the German, Habsburg, Russian, and Ottoman Borderlands (2013), Voices on War and Genocide: Three Accounts of the World Wars in a Galician Town (2020), and Israel-Palestine: Lands and Peoples (2021). Bartov's novel, The Butterfly and the Axe, will be published in 2023.

Is there socialist tropical medicine? Why is it important to write state-socialist Eastern Europe in the global history of medicine after 1945? In this episode, Bogdan Iacob tells Jelena Đureinović (RECET) about socialist tropical medicine, its development, purposes and understanding within Eastern Europe. He explains how state-socialist Eastern Europe shaped the assistance to postcolonial states and WHO programs and what discourses and hierarchies emerged in this context. Bogdan C. Iacob is a historian working at the Nicolae Iorga Institute of History at the Romanian Academy of Sciences and the Institute for Habsburg and Balkan Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His work centres on the role of Eastern European experts in international organisations and post-colonial spaces, and he has contributed to the shifting of paradigm in transnational and global history of medicine, with Eastern Europe in focus.

In mei viert Amsterdam een uniek muziekfestival. Wat past beter bij 750 Jaar Amsterdam dan de uitvoering van heel het werk van Gustav Mahler door de beroemdste orkesten, dirigenten en solisten uit heel de wereld? Mahler, de Weense componist van het 'Fin de Siècle' die Amsterdam als de tweede stad van zijn muziek beschouwde. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten met Thomas de Jonker, musicoloog van het Concertgebouw, over dit festival, Mahlers muziek, zijn leven in turbulente politieke tijden, in een periode van culturele bloei en over zijn unieke band met Nederland en het Concertgebouw.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door het Concertgebouw en met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Als vriend word je uitgenodigd om op zaterdag 17 mei met Jaap en PG in het Mahler Paviljoen op het Museumplein in Amsterdam te genieten van Mahlers Negende symfonie!Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact.Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) was de beroemdste musicus van zijn tijd. Nog voor hij 40 werd, had de stokoude keizer Frans Jozef hem benoemd tot chef van de Hofopera in Wenen. Dát was al zeer politiek, want in Oostenrijk-Hongarije hadden joden maar net volledige burgerrechten, dus deze benoeming op de top van de kunsten was een sensatie. Door die artistieke roem en komeetachtige carrière was Mahler doelwit van heel wat vuige kritieken. De jaren tussen 1890 en 1914 leken wel onbezorgd, feestelijk in cultuur en vele contacten, maar de gouden jaren na het Weens Congres van 1815 waren voorbij. Het Habsburgse Rijk wankelde, oorlogen langs de randen braken uit en donderwolken aan de horizon trokken samen.Mahlers werk klinkt daarom soms bijna profetisch. Zijn Wenen bloeide, maar in de krotten en stegen leefden sloebers als Adolf Hitler en Josip Broz Tito en ondergedoken Russen als Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotski en Jozef Stalin. De komende eeuw begon in de sloppen van deze stad.Gustav Mahler was inmiddels een wereldburger van de eerste golven van de globalisering. Hij werd chef van de Opera en de New York Philharmonic, dirigeerde van Ljubljana en Boston tot Rotterdam. Stoomschepen, treinen en zelfs de auto voerden hem over heel de wereld. Amsterdam werd zijn 'tweede stad'. In 1903, 1904, 1906 en 1909 kwam hij zijn eigen symfonieën dirigeren. Zo ontstond een unieke, organische relatie met de musici van het Concertgebouw en dirigent Willem Mengelberg. Samen schreven zij muziekgeschiedenis. Het belette de erg veeleisende 'divo' Mahler overigens niet gedurig te klagen over de regen, de kille wind en het lawaai van de havenstad. Na Mahlers dood in 1911 werd Amsterdam het cultureel centrum waar men hem bleef eren en spelen. In 1920 - meteen na de Vrede van Versailles - bracht de stad de kunstenaars van heel de wereld bijeen voor het eerste 'Mahler Feest'. Het vredesappel tijdens dat festival bewees nog eens hoezeer men politiek en menselijk snakte naar verzoening in een vreedzaam Europa. Dat ontstond pas na de jaren waarin Mahler door de Nazi's verboden was en hij in de vergetelheid leek te raken. Maar niet in Amsterdam en evenmin in New York. Dirigenten als Bernard Haitink en Leonard Bernstein zorgden voor een renaissance van Mahlers liederen en symfonieën. De nieuwe welvaart, de technologie van de elpee en de televisie én de filmkunst maakten Mahler een begrip voor velen. Hij werd de componist van een modern, verzoend Europa. In Amsterdam komt nu in 2025 in het festival de wereld bijeen. Hopelijk ook nu voor een moment en appèl tot vrede en verzoening. Toporkesten uit Chicago, Boedapest, Tokyo en Berlijn, jonge maestro's als Klaus Mäkelä en fameuze dirigenten als Kirill Petrenko komen Mahler dirigeren. ***Verder luisterenIn MAHLER!

From a game for fearless young aristocrats il CALCIO STORICO FIORENTINO was also played on the frozen Arno Rive it became a manifesto for freedom. On February 17, 1530, Florence was besieged by one of the most powerful armies of that time, that of Charles V of Habsburg, the emperor on whose lands, it was said, the sun never set. And while the threatening drums of the besiegers beat, the Florentines, contemptuous of danger, staged in Piazza Santa Croce, well in sight of the enemy, a football match to celebrate Carnival, although the city was exhausted by hunger. This became an event that the historical Florentine memory sculpts and sanctifies. From a game into history, for centuries the defining moment of a collective mood that is not only transmitted through stories, but that every Florentine holds within, was replayed. In the ''Cerimonia del Saluto'' you will hear all the words that bring back the respect for the opponent. When the arena of Calcio shouts the phrase VIVA FIORENZA at the top of its lungs, the emotions are expressed in their fullness and every time a deep affection for Florence is born inside each of us.

In a world increasingly marked by isolation, instability, and cultural decay, how can families remain strong, joyful, and rooted in tradition? In this episode, we sit down with Edward Habsburg—Catholic thinker, writer, and Hungary's ambassador to the Holy See—to discuss his new book, Building a Wholesome Family in a Broken World.Drawing from both personal experience and the time-tested wisdom of the Habsburg dynasty, Edward shares practical insights on fostering deep familial bonds, raising children with purpose, and restoring a culture of faith and virtue within the home. We explore the key pillars of a strong family life, the challenges posed by modernity, and why subsidiarity—the principle of governance closest to the family unit—is more important than ever.Join us for a conversation that blends history, faith, and humor as we uncover what it truly means to build a resilient, loving, and wholesome family in today's chaotic world.

The death of Emperor Rudolf in 1612 brought his brother Matthias to the throne. While this marked a period of recovery for the Habsburg dynasty, Matthias's position was precarious. He lacked the same authority as his brother and was already 55 years old, making his grip on power tenuous from the outset. The empire Matthias inherited was one riddled with internal divisions and vulnerabilities. The Turkish truce of 1606, though bringing much-needed peace, had ironically diminished the emperor's international standing. The Austrian Habsburgs' policy of neutrality in European conflicts further sidelined them in international affairs, further weakening the perception of imperial strength.WebsiteWestern Civ 2.0

In 1513, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk—Henry VIII's best friend and notorious rogue—caused an international incident by flirting with Margaret of Austria, a duchess and regent of the Habsburg Netherlands. It all started as innocent courtly love, but Brandon took things too far when he stole a ring from Margaret's finger and refused to return it. Even worse? Henry VIII jokingly hinted at marriage between them! The result? Rumours of a scandalous betrothal shocked Europe and upset Margaret's father, the Holy Roman Emperor. Poor Margaret had to explain herself, while Brandon walked away with no consequences. But this wasn't the first time Brandon caused scandal. From secret marriages to broken promises, he seemed to leave controversy in his wake wherever he went. Was Margaret just another victim of Charles Brandon's recklessness? And did Henry VIII let his best friend get away with too much? Dive into the full story of Margaret and Brandon's ill-fated flirtation—and the scandal that followed—in my latest video! #TudorHistory #HistoricalScandals #CharlesBrandon #MargaretofAustria #RoyalDrama #OnThisDay #CourtlyLove #HabsburgHistory #HistoryMysteries #TudorCourt

In 1864, a young Austrian archduke by the name of Maximilian crossed the Atlantic to assume a faraway throne. He had been lured into the voyage by a duplicitous Napoleon III (the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte). Keen to spread his own interests abroad, the French emperor had promised Maximilian a hero's welcome. Instead, he walked into a bloody guerrilla war. With a head full of impractical ideals - and a penchant for pomp and butterflies - the new 'emperor' was singularly ill-equipped for what lay in store.
