metadata.value: The article examines the special character of the revolution of 1848/49 in Germany. The focus
  lies on the perspective of contemporaries to the events. The French Revolution and the Napoleonic Period
  were the defining, mostly negative, experiences for the generations who were active in 1848. The
  ideas of 1848 arose in a pre-industrial, harmony-oriented civil society. The constitution demanded in
  1848 was therefore not aimed at the legalization of a modern division of state and society, but it wanted
  a state-formation at the national level based on the idea of the Aristotelian societas civilis. The numerous
  conflicts of the revolution, social and national conflicts, and even the political division into democrats
  and liberals, were not weaknesses of the revolution. It was rather the lack of readiness for conflict
  which led to the failure of the revolution. From the point of view of the contemporaries the revolution
  failed, but the modernizing impulses of the revolution went on to shape further development. Refs 25.
