| Women's access to public space has been subject to different conditions, depending on the respective historical context. This essay deals with the perception and use of public space by German women within the context of the Nazi occupation of Poland. These women were recruited from the "Old Reich", i.e. Germany within its 1937 borders, for public assignments connected with Nazi resettlement politics. They taught "ethnic German" children and were involved in preserving German culture and the pro-Nazi political orientation of "ethnic Germans" in the German villages in the incorporated western Polish territories and the Generalgouvernment. As "Reich Germans" in occupied Poland, the (mostly young) teachers, nursery school teachers, and officials in Nazi organizations experienced a definite increase in public authority and power. The essay examines the extent to which this caused a blurring of traditional boundaries between the spheres occupied by men and women, and whether new ways of exercising power emerged for which gender distinctions were irrelevant, or whether in the context of the occupation there was a specifically "female" way of perceiving the conquered country and conducting oneself in public. | |
