The historical development of Germany serves as a background in order to provide context for the development of spatially relevant ideas and ideals (whether in relation to politics, landscape, or culture). In this regard, questions of divergence and convergence become highly salient. The book makes the complexity of spatial and social developments in Germany comprehensible. The neopragmatic approach adopted here allows bringing together different theoretical strands while providing a basis for independent regional geographic research at the same time. Beginning with an overview of the physical structures of Germany which provides the material point of departure for the societal development of Germany, key aspects of the German history are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the reciprocal influence between material substrate and notions of landscape. Here, specific "German" trajectories of aesthetic and normative conceptions of landscape become clear. A common theme throughout the book are questions of divergence and of efforts towards convergence, which become evident when considering past and present economic, political, and demographic developments. Efforts to tackle current challenges, such as adapting to climate change and mitigating it, or securing raw materials, also become apparent. The complexity of spatial processes in Germany is illustrated in case study regions dealing with the challenges of structural change in traditional industrial regions (such as the Ruhr area), or e.g. efforts of Berlin to position and find itself as the capital of a unified Germany. Overall, the book shows how theory-driven regional geographic research can make spatiotemporal complexities tangible and comprehensible. 001444942 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 10, 2022). 001444942 651_0 $$aGermany$$xGeography. 001444942 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001444942 7001_ $$aWeber, Florian,$$cDr.,$$eauthor. 001444942 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3030929523$$z9783030929527$$w(OCoLC)1285571921 001444942 830_0 $$aWorld regional geography book series. 001444942 852__ $$bebk 001444942 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-92953-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001444942 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1444942$$pGLOBAL_SET 001444942 980__ $$aBIB 001444942 980__ $$aEBOOK 001444942 982__ $$aEbook 001444942 983__ $$aOnline 001444942 994__ $$a92$$bISE
