Notes

1 Königlicher Landrath Von Wittenburg, ‘Bericht des Unterzeichneten zu Punkt 6 der Tagesordnung vom 11. Oktober 1886’ (Bundesarchiv, Berlin-Lichterfeld, N/2308, no. 65).

2 It is crucial to note here, however, that Scott Eddie has convincingly demonstrated that although there was widespread ‘belief’ that the inner colonial project was responsible for a significant rise in the price of land, it was not. See Eddie (2008).

3 Indeed, Schwerin was scolded for telling the other members of the GFK, to which he furiously responded that they would keep their mouths shut! (Geiss 1960, p. 90).

4 See the many letters and documents regarding these negotiations in: Bundesarchiv-Koblenz, N1210/121.

5 See, for example, Broedrich (1915).

6 From a rough draft of: ‘Denkschrift zu einer geplanten Volkszählung im Operationsgebiete der 10. Armee’ von Hauptmann d.L. Curschmann’, Volume 2, Universitätsbibliothek Greifswald — Handschriftenabteilung, Curschmanns ‘Kleine Schriften’.

7 Ibid.

8 All quotes come from handwritten letters in the Curschmann ‘Kleine Schriften’ noted above.
