heimat
Heimat () is a German word with no English equivalent;〔Blickle, Peter (2004) ''Heimat: A Critical Theory Of The German Idea Of Homeland''〕 it denotes the relationship of a human being toward a certain spatial social unit. The term forms a contrast to social alienation and usually carries positive connotations. It is often expressed with terms such as ''home'' or ''homeland''.
==The meaning of Heimat==
Heimat is a German concept.〔 People are bound to their heimat by their birth and their childhood, their language, their earliest experiences or acquired affinity. For instance, Swiss citizens have their ''Heimatort'' (the municipality where the person or their ancestors became citizens) on their identification. Heimat as a trinity of descendance, community, and tradition—or even the examination of it— highly affects a person's identity.
Heimat found strength as an instrument of self-assurance and orientation in an increasingly alienating world as Germany's, Austria's, and Switzerland's population from the days of the Industrial Revolution made a massive exodus from rural areas into more urbanised communities around the countries' major cities (''Landflucht''). Heimat was a reaction to the onset of modernity, loss of individuality and intimate community.〔(Heimat: A German Dream )〕 Heimat began as an integral aspect of German, Austrian, and Swiss identity that was patriotic without being nationalistic. Regional identity (along with regional dialect) is an important foundation for a person's Heimat.
