Abstract:

 


The article analyzes the development of cultural relations between Germany and Turkey in four phases starting from the 18th century when the first Ottoman consul to Berlin, Azmi Efendi, made his first visit. These relations developed in parallel with the political, economic, military and societal relations between the two states that steadily increased towards the end of the 19th century. Interest towards Turkish language and culture began to grow in Germany and Austria with the effects of the Enlightenment and the 'Turquerie' trend that spread all over Europe. This was followed by the military cooperation between Germany and the Ottoman Empire that started within the framework of the efforts at modernization of the Ottoman army. The increasing interaction between the two countries led to the emergence of the first German institutions in the Ottoman Empire. In the period preceding the First World War some Turkish writers contributed to the introduction o f the elite to German language and culture. On the other hand Germany began to pursue an Eastern policy that included imperialistic aims towards the Ottoman Empire.The westernization process started by Atatiirk after the foundation of the Republic contributed to the further development of cultural relations between the two countries. In the ensuing years several prominent German academics and scientists had the opportunity to do research and give lectures in Turkish universities. Owing to the efforts ofseveral institutions and especially translation ofmajor works from German, German language and culture attained a higher level of recognition among the Turkish public. In the 1960's labor migration from Turkey to Germany increased contact between the two countries and led to the incidence of a considerable Turkish population living in Germany. A significant migrant literature sprang out ofthis group. In parallel to this it is also possible to discern that German writers began to adopt a more tolerant approach towards German Turks and Turkey. Cultural relations between Turkey and Germany is becoming closer and more diversified due to the influence of both Turkish immigrants in Germany and Turkey's integration process to the EU.
