"The building of our national character could only take place at the expense of tribal interests, and later at the expense of the interests of our lands. I know how difficult it is to arrive at a truly broad historical view, because it too easily leads to rejecting phenomena of the past that are not inherently appealing, without understanding that all of this was necessary steps on the path to what we are today. Two phenomena then made it possible from this multitude of German tribes to create a unified people through the detour of state formation and ultimately to assimilate other people here: 1. as a universal foundation of the general worldview, the Christianity of that time, and 2. as a spiritual concept of external organizational unification, the world of ideas of the ancient Roman Empire."
