      Gießener Auswanderungsgesellschaft

      The Gießener Auswanderungsgesellschaft (Gießen emigration society) was founded 1833 in Gießen with the aim of establishing a German-populated federal state within the United States.

      Naturalist Gottfried Duden, a German attorney, settled on the North side of the Missouri River along Lake Creek in 1824. He was investigating the possibilities of settlement in the area by his countrymen. In 1827 he returned to Germany which he felt was overpopulated. There he published a glowing Eine Reise zu den westlichen Staaten von Nordamerika (“A journey to the western states of North America”) in 1829.

      The romantic description of the free life in the US motivated the Protestant minister Friedrich Münch and the attorney Paul Follen to found in 1833 in Gießen an emigration society. Both had participated in the outlawed republican and democratic movements in Germany in the wake of the French July Revolution of 1832. As there was no immediate hope for success, they intended to establish a “new and free Germany in the great North American Republic” to serve as model for a future German Republic.

      In 1834 they led 500 German settlers into Missouri. They soon realised that the plan for a separate federal state would remain a Utopia. They settled in German-populated Dutzow, Missouri, not far from the former farm of Gottfried Duden.

      Friedrich Münch realised that the slopes of the Missouri Valley were suited for the cultivation of grapes and wine making. In 1859 he founded the Mount Pleasant Winery with his brother Georg at Augusta, Missouri. Their letters written home to friends and relatives brought more of their countrymen to the Missouri Valley.

      Together with later Italian immigrants they formed the vineyards that made up the Missouri Weinstraße.

      The emigrants from Gießen were part of many liberal intellectuals who had to leave Germany in the 1830s to escape political repression. Many of these Dreißigers came to the US, especially to Texas, Illinois and Missouri. Others went to Switzerland, such as Adolf Ludwig Follen (the brother of Paul Follen) and the family of their sister Louise with nephew Carl Vogt. Another brother, Karl Follen, had emigrated to the US in 1824.

      This group of emigrants was followed by the more numerous Forty-Eighters who left after the revolutions in German provinces. The most prominent immigrant was Carl Schurz, who rose to a political appointee position in the American government.

  10. potpiekitty says:

    I’ve never understood the attraction? I love the show, and my daughter drools over him.. I guess maybe I’ve seen one too many pharmaceutical addict in my life and way too many asshats to think he’s special.
    Now Wilson, and also Foreman, those are cuties =)

    • potpiekitty says:

      But then I no longer want to breed, so what do I know? :P

    • paws4thot says:

      I’m sorry; I don’t see why you consider that calling a spade a spade rather than a manual excavation impliment makes someone an “asshat”.

      • potpiekitty says:

        What does “calling a spade a spade” have to do with anything? Sorry you lost me there..
        He’s an asshat for many reasons, not the least of which is the way he treats his patients. I worked as a researcher at a hospital in the medical field for many years and I can tell you that a lot of his antics, while amusing on TV, would go over like a lead balloon in a real life hospital when medical resources are always in short supply.

  11. Mikehunt says:

    I usually say “If I were any happier, I’d be incontinent”!

  12. Courtney says:

    Hugh himself is quite brilliant. Haven’t you read his book, “The Gun Seller”? It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read, and I’m not saying that out of my adoration for the man. It’s simply an amazing book.

  13. The Zoo Crew says:

    *nods head in agreement* Yep, I’ve had days like that….

  14. this fellow’s a bad actor.
