Da war ganz schön was los! Geschlechterverhältnisse in der Weimarer Republik, dargestellt und analysiert anhand der Figur des Kontinuums
There was a lot happening there! Relation between genders in the Weimar Republic, portrayed and analysed based on the character of the continuum

Summary/Abstract: Based on the representation of the continuum, the gender relations for the period around 1900 and especially during the Weimar Republic are being explored for instance in the areas of work and politics, then related to the ideas about the “new woman” and the “new man”, to the gay and lesbian movement and to the problem of legal status and the documented existence of transgender and intersex people, whereby the final analysis is directed at the year 1926. The article aims at demonstrating that, despite the wind of change blowing during the Weimar Republic, gender diversity ultimately remained indebted to the traditional polarity.
