Between National Socialism and expert internationalism: Karl Strolin and transnationalism in urban planning, 1938-45
Wagner P. Between National Socialism and expert internationalism: Karl Strolin and transnationalism in urban planning, 1938-45. EUROPEAN REVIEW OF HISTORY-REVUE EUROPEENNE D HISTOIRE. 2018;25(3-4):512-534.This essay examines the transnational activities of National Socialist experts, focusing on the endeavours of the burgomaster of Stuttgart, Karl Strolin. In 1938, Strolin became president of the International Federation for Housing and Town Planning (IFHTP), one of the most distinguished international expert institutions for European and North American urban planning. The article discusses his belief that promoting an international convention on the protection of urban populations would contribute to German diplomacy in the initial period of the Second World War. Then it investigates the IFHTP president's efforts to transform his institution into an outlet for National Socialist ideas against the background of the German advance through Europe. A final section deals with Strolin's attempts to transform the IFHTP into a forum for evaluating urban reconstruction policies in the last year of the war. This biographical study shows how it was possible to juggle the logics and expectations of seemingly contradictory spatial and political realms during and after World War II. National socialist politics and ideology exacerbated the tensions between local, national and international affiliations, but at the same time never fully permeated the mechanisms of expert internationalism. By revealing how Strolin navigated between local ambitions, the demands of domestic foreign policy and the ethics of expert internationalism in three markedly different projects, this essay contributes to a growing body of scholarship on the cross-border activities of National Socialist professionals in (occupied) Europe
