Article creation & translation

Despite the fact that we have the same surname, I have no known relation to Theodor Lohmann reaching back at least five generations. My translation and posting of this article is based solely on my interest in social policy and my recent discovery of T. Lohmann in Gordon Craig's Germany, 1866-1945, and my belief that he is a figure of comparable importance (but a different career trajectory!) to social security administrators like Wilbur Cohen and Arthur Altmeyer in the U.S. system. English language sources I will add in the near future share this assessment. Despite the fact that he is apparently fairly well known in Germany and at least slightly known to American historians like Craig, he is a complete unknown to social policy specialists in the U.S.

A close comparison of my translation with the German wikipedia entry would be advisable, since my German is quite shaky. Roger Lohmann 18:57, 26 August 2007 (CDT)

Articles now compared. CZ article edited and restructured, incl. subpage transfers etc.  Arne Eickenberg  talk 11:36, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Not WP

The article at the German Wikipedia is obviously based on the copyrighted article by Renate Zitt for the BBKL. However, the WP article (and the current CZ version) leave out much of the auxiliary information, party politics etc.. Maybe it can be added to the CZ article if it's of importance. In any case, since the WP article is not original, not even in the choosing of the sources, a WP-tag here at CZ is not needed. The article should however be further compared to the BBKL-entry to ensure a safe amount of originality.  Arne Eickenberg  talk 12:11, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Comments

I would find my understanding of Theodor Lohmann's life and work enhanced if the article gave a little more background on 19th century German and Prussian governments, and the living conditions of the people, including the economic situation, and the social and religious situation.

This was the period of German unification under the largely protestant and autocratic Prussia of the first Wilhelm and the Junker Bismarck and the Catholic Hapsburg Austro-Hungarian Empire was in full flower.

A map covering Lohmann's differing living and work locations might also help.

Some mentionables would seem to require explanation, perhaps only as footnotes. For example, what is "Inner Mission"? --Anthony.Sebastian 10:20, 11 March 2008 (CDT) --reiterated, Anthony.Sebastian 21:16, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Do we have any map specialists currently working?
The Inner Mission is explained in a separate article rather than an enhanced section here.Roger A. Lohmann 20:22, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Roger, I will query the community re map specialists. For one map of Europe, what year+/- would best serve for Theodor Lohmann? Did you already check Wikimedia Commons for maps: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ? Anthony.Sebastian 23:34, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Anthony, I suppose a pre-World War I map showing Prussia and the united Germany or even Austro-Hungary would be best. Roger A. Lohmann 14:55, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
