The publication takes a discourse-grammatical perspective to address discourses about destruction in the Second World War and post-war reconstruction in the cities of Mannheim, Paderborn, and Bremen from 1945 to 2016. The basic concept is that not only slogans but also unnoticed figures of speech – such as “in rubble and ashes” and “were the victims of destruction” and “the rebuilding took place” – shape our relationship to history.
