Talk:Timeline of the Weimar Republic

November 22, 1925 Strasser wing of Nazi party goes into rebellion?
I cannot find any source suggesting such an event happened. Where does that come from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.255.193.4 (talk) 10:37, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

From Hitler by Ian Kershaw: "By late summer 1925, the northern leaders, differing among themselves in matters of interpretation and emphasis on points of the programme, aims, and meaning of National Socialism, were at least agreed that the party was undergoing a crisis. This was reflected in declining membership and stagnation. It was associated by them, above all, with the state of the party in Munich. But all that could be achieved was the establishment, under Strasser’s leadership, of a ‘Working Community of the North- and West-German Gaue of the NSDAP’, a loose organization of northern party districts, mainly for arranging the exchange of speakers. This was not in any way intended as a challenge to Hitler. Even so, it did come to pose a threat to his authority. The clashes over the Esser clique, and over electoral participation, were not in themselves critical. Of far greater significance was the fact that Gregor Strasser and Goebbels, especially, looked to the Community as an opportunity to reshape the party’s programme. Ultimately, Strasser hoped to replace the Programme of 1920. In November, he took the first steps in composing the Community’s own draft programme. It advocated a racially integrated German nation at the heart of a central European customs union, the basis of a united states of Europe. Internally, it proposed a corporate state. In the economy, it looked to tying peasants to their landholdings, and public control of the means of production while protecting private property."

Nazi Timeline
WHEELER, a lot of the Nazi related material belongs in a Nazi Timeline, not in a Weimar Timeline. I suggest you create a second article. AndyL 18:52, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Pre-History of National Socialism....
...belongs to one of the Nazi articles

...foundation of Czech parties belongs to an arcticle about Czechoslovakia.

The complete article is rather a pre-history of nazism.

What's the title of the article, WHEELER? AndyL 03:11, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC) AndyL, Leave things alone. Many people have been there and no one had any problems until you showed up. You are the one that doesn't want any other article about national socialism. You have it all directed to the nazism article. All of sudden, you change directions. You are the one that says everything is to be combined in one article. Now, you change your methodology. It looks a little hypocrisy to me. Leave it alone.

The Weimar Republic was damaged by National Socialism, It should be marked out where it came from.

Wikipedia policy is that a little repetition is good. WHEELER 14:29, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

There is a little repitition at the moment. What you want is to have the article focus on early nazism rather than on weimar. AndyL

Nov 19, 1918 Hitler discharged from hospital at Pasewalk.
...why is that important???
 * Nov 20, 1918 Hitler let a fart at Stettin.

"Bavaria declared a Raterpolitich."
What is a Raterpolitich??? A "Räterepublik" ?

Page history change
five minutes ago the page history didn't show my authorship of the article. Now it does.WHEELER 20:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Title
This article is not a timeline of Weimar, but of the Weimar Republic. Accordingly I've moved the article. As usual the old name redirects here. Hairy Dude (talk) 20:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

"Fritz" Ebert opens the Reichstag in Weimar???
Error...Friedrich Ebert opened the 1919 Weimar Reichstag, NOT Fritz, which was the nickname given to Friedrich's son, Friedrich (Fritz) Ebert Jr.

1918
69 November 1918	Sailors and worker's councils declare general strikes. James Galloway (talk) 16:49, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

March 1920 Hitler to Berlin
March 1920. Should Hitler's army- aided flight to Berlin to meet Nationale Vereinigung members be included? A specific date is not in the article on the Kapp Putsch. To me as a novice in this history, it highlights early coordination between Army and NSDAP, linking: 1) photo caption: "Marinebrigade Ehrhardt, with swastikas on their helmets, distributing leaflets on 13 March"; 2) Hitler in Army through March; 3) Ludendorff's later activity with NSDAP.

Rewrite planned
I plan to put in a complete rewrite of this page on 3 Dec 2023 unless anyone has objections. The main reason for it is to make the entries more complete and understandable, even if read singly. Every entry is also sourced. One example for 21 June 1919:

Current: Philipp Scheidemann (SPD) leaves office

New: After Minister President Philipp Scheidemann refuses to accept the Treaty of Versailles, he and his cabinet step down. On the following day, Gustav Bauer, also of the Social Democratic Party, takes Scheidemann's place. [this entry has 2 references]

The selection of entries overlaps the current page but still varies quite a bit. I didn't count, but the new version probably has fewer. It also has 2 major sections, one for politics (by far the longest) and one for culture, science and commerce (all of which is new).

Even though Hitler and the Nazis are still mentioned many times, I've chosen not to color code the entries or have as many as the current version. The early timeline of Nazism should be the page to go to for the greater level of detail.

If anyone has thoughts one way or another about a full rewrite, please let me know. GHStPaulMN (talk) 14:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
