Introducing Myself

[Athanareiks]

Hail all,

I am new here and should introduce myself. I found this website because I am a member auf Thiazi forum and found the posts here to be interesting.

My ancestry: My fathers side is German, my grandparents had lived in Lower Austria. My mothers side is mostly German, French and British. I have been researching on my mothers side for many years and I found out that the roots went back to a Norman family living in France who had to flee to Britain at the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.

Though I am of Austrian citizenship I always feel as a German and am unlucky that Austria is separated from Germany. In my dreams and wishes Austria should again become a part of a German state for Austrians are Germans.

I have two children at the age of 6 and 2 and am interested in politics, history , laws, anthropology etc.

I am looking very forward to talking to some of you and meeting some like minded people.

Welcome to Skadi Forum!

That's how nearly all Austrian Germans felt until the destructive effects of the post-WW2 reorientation became visible.

I understand. However, independent statehood needn't be necessarily a disadvantage. Two or three German states could serve the interests of the German nation even better than only one. The real tragedy is that many Austrians have been made to believe that they "are no Germans but Austrians." Forgive me, but I always found this notion immeasurably entertaining, for it is immeasurably moronic.

Seems you have come to the right board. I am looking forward to reading your contributions.

Explain how. Separation of the German nation is treasonous because the German people belong together, as one. A big state is stronger and it can defend itself against enemies much better than some tiny states. We need more unity, not more division.

Welcome to Skadi, Athanareiks. I hope Austria and Germany reunite one day too.
