Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg
''Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg'' ("Ramblings through Brandenburg", "Rambles in Brandenburg" or "Walks through the March of Brandenburg") is a five-volume travelogue by the German writer Theodor Fontane, originally published in 1862–1889. It is his longest work and forms a bridge between his early career as a poet and his later novels. It covers the history, architecture, and people of the region as well as its landscape, and influenced the German Youth Movement of the early twentieth century.
==Background and composition==
In his preface, Fontane wrote that the inspiration for ''Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg'' came on a visit to Loch Leven Castle in Scotland in 1858, when he remembered visiting Rheinsberg Palace, a similarly situated castle in Brandenburg, and realised the two were comparably memorable experiences; so he decided to share with the German readership the attractions of his native region.〔A. R. Robinson, ''Theodor Fontane: An Introduction to the Man and His Work'', Cardiff: University of Wales, 1976, ISBN 9780708306178, pp. 52–53.〕〔Gerhard Friedrich, ''Fontanes preußische Welt. Armee - Dynastie - Staat'', Herford: Mittler, 1988, ISBN 9783813202892, pp. 71–72 〕 He began the trips through Brandenburg on which the work is based in summer 1859, taking an informal and selective approach that he compared to "a walker picking individual ears of grain" as opposed to "someone taking a sickle to gather in the harvest".〔Robinson, p. 53.〕 He wrote down his impressions and stories immediately or soon afterwards.〔Robinson, p. 55.〕 By 1860, he estimated in a letter to Theodor Storm that the work might take him ten years and add up to twenty volumes; in actuality, interrupted by other writing, it took him thirty years, but there were originally only four volumes, ''Die Grafschaft Ruppin'' (1862), ''Das Oderland'' (1863), ''Das Havelland'' (1872) and ''Das Spreeland'' (1882). In 1889 he added a fifth, ''Fünf Schlösser''.〔
Fontane noted the earlier work of Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl, ''Naturgeschichte des Volkes'' (1851–1869), which also presents the German land and people as fundamentally linked;〔George L. Mosse, ''The Crisis of German Ideology: Intellectual Origins of the Third Reich'', New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1964, , p. 19〕 and acknowledged a debt to the procedure he laid out there: preparation through study, walking in the area and talking to the residents, keeping a diary, and including anecdotes about the journey.〔Robinson, p. 54.〕
