Harry Kessler (1868–1937) was the son of a wealthy Hamburg banker, a socialite, aesthete, and philanthropist, nicknamed the "Red Count." A close friend of Rathenau and Stresemann, and personally acquainted with Nietzsche and Bismarck, Josephine Baker, and Albert Einstein, he was not just an observer but an active participant in the key events of his time. Kessler's voluminous diaries remain one of the most widely cited accounts of the dramatic life and death of the Weimar Republic. The text combines detailed accounts of revolution and terror, parliamentary debates and secret diplomacy with nuanced glimpses of Berlin's bohemian life and profound reflections on Germany's fate and the search for peace. This collection of notes is one of the most important documents of the era and a rare insight into a culture experiencing its rise and fall.
