Freiheit ( German for "freedom") is a 1966 short film by George Lucas, made while he was a student at the University of Southern California's film school. His third film, it was the first to contain a narrative.
Freiheit (German for Freedom) was a long-running anarchist journal established by Johann Most in 1879. It was known for advocacy of attentat, or propaganda of the deed—revolutionary violence that could inspire people to revolution.
Most began the German-language journal in London, aiming it at expatriate Germans and Austrians. He brought the publication with him when he immigrated to the United States just a few years later in 1882.
Freiheit, and Most, were not shy about criticizing fellow anarchists, and work published in Freiheit often fomented controversies in anarchist circles. For instance, Most and Benjamin Tucker carried out a well-publicized disagreement in the pages of their respective journals, and although Tucker championed Most's revolutionary philosophy later, the schism never healed.
Some years later, Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman became involved with the Freiheit group, only to leave after conflicts with Most arose. When Berkman, inspired by Most's theory of the attentat, was imprisoned for the attempted assassination of Henry Clay Frick, Most criticized Berkman's action. Goldman was infuriated and publicly took a horse-whip to Most at his lecture, demanding a proof or a retraction.
The journal's publication occasionally faltered when Most was imprisoned—at least once, for writings he published in Freiheit—but fellow anarchists kept the journal afloat during those times.
When its charismatic founder and editor died in 1905, the publication began to ail. Freiheit ceased publication in 1910 after 28 years.
A Freiheit ( German for liberty or freedom; plural Freiheiten) was a quarter of medieval Königsberg, Prussia. All land surrounding Königsberg belonged to the Teutonic Knights, aside from specific tracts allocated to Königsberg's constituent towns or castle. The tracts, originally pastures and farmland, developed into suburbs subordinate in administrative, judicial, religious, and educational matters.
The Freiheiten of Königsberg Castle included Burgfreiheit, Neue Sorge, Rossgarten, Sackheim, and Tragheim. The highest authority over these suburbs was the castle's Oberburggraf. Altstadt's Freiheiten included Laak, Lastadie, Neurossgarten, and Steindamm. They were subordinate to the town council of Altstadt. The island town of Kneiphof controlled Vorstadt and Haberberg, while Löbenicht controlled only the small districts Anger and Stegen.
By the Rathäusliche Reglement of 13 June 1724, King Frederick William I of Prussia merged Altstadt, Löbenicht, Kneiphof, and their respective suburbs into the united city of Königsberg. Königsberg Castle and its suburbs remained separate until the Städteordnung of Stein on 19 November 1808 during the era of Prussian reforms.
