Krieg im Dorf

Wie die Landbevölkerung mit Angst und Zerstörung umgeht

Die Männer sind im Krieg, die Äcker vermint oder von Panzern zerfurcht, es fehlen Saatgut und Arbeitskräfte, um sie zu bestellen. Obwohl dem ganzen Land Hunger droht, konzentriert sich die Aufmerksamkeit auf die zerbombten Städte und die darin eingeschlossenen Menschen.
Nein, das ist kein Lagebericht aus der Ukraine, sondern aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Die Situation heute ist aber nahezu dieselbe. Das veranschaulicht die soeben eröffnete Ausstellung „In einer zerrissenen Zeit: Das Dorf vor hundert Jahren“, die bis 30. Oktober im Grazer Museum für Geschichte zu sehen ist.

„Damals wie heute ist die Landbevölkerung ein blinder Fleck, obwohl sie vom Krieg besonders betroffen ist und die Menschen in den Städten mitversorgen muss“, fasst Uni-Graz-Historiker Harald Heppner zusammen. Er leitet das Forschungsprojekt „Zwischen Angst und Hoffnung. Rurale Perspektiven im Zeitalter des Großen Krieges“, das die wissenschaftliche Basis für die Schau liefert.
Anders als nüchterne Kriegsberichte vermitteln die Bilder der Ausstellung vorranging die Ängste und Sorgen der steirischen Landbevölkerung im frühen 20. Jahrhundert. Ihre emotionale Situation ist ebenfalls mit der aktuellen Lage in der Ukraine vergleichbar: „Die Ungewissheit ist ein irres Problem. Die Menschen haben die Zuversicht verloren, dass sie ihre Zukunft planen können“, schildert der Historiker.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Train by train: Koralm railway accelerates exchange between the Universities

Lectures at the University of Klagenfurt in the morning, seminars at the University of Graz in the afternoon: Austria's longest tunnel and a journey time of around 45 minutes make it easy. The Koralm railway increases the speed of networking between the two university locations. The collaboration builds on existing cooperation - for example in the areas of teacher training, Slavic studies and as employers, the universities are well coordinated.
