He underwent a drastic inner change, an inner metamorphosis, and this showed itself in the wide and comprehensive outlook he possessed in this later incarnation. He could speak of the German people and culture and of the German Empire like one who has once had close and intimate contact with these things, and yet who feels all the time that he ought not to have been influenced by them. He should have been spreading Christianity. He had come into these parts while his duty lay elsewhere.—One could hear it in the very tone of his speeches.—And he wanted to go back and make good again! Hence his passion for Switzerland; hence his passion for the building of the Arlberg railway. Even in outward appearance, he did not really look Polish. Hausner himself used often and often to say that he was not a Pole at all by physical descent but only by civilisation and education, and that ‘Raetian-German’ blood flowed in his veins. He had brought over from an earlier incarnation the tendency to look towards the region where once he had been, whither he had accompanied St. Columbanus and St. Gallus with the resolve to spread Christianity, but where, instead, the old Germanic religion and culture had captured him and held him fast. And so it came about that he did his best, as it were, to be born again in a family as little Polish as possible, far away from the land in which he had lived in his earlier life, far removed from it and yet so that he could look longingly towards it.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"F.

Und das, was er in einer gewaltigen inneren Umwandlung, in einer gewaltigen inneren Metamorphose erlebt hat, das erschien dann in diesen umfassenden Gesichtspunkten. Er konnte über Deutschtum und Deutsches Reich reden wie einer, der einmal bei all diesen Dingen intim dabeigewesen ist, der aber doch sie eigentlich aufgenommen hat, ohne daß er es sollte. Er hätte ja das Christentum verbreiten sollen. Er war sozusagen, ohne daß er es sollte, hineingekommen in die Gegenden — das hörte man selbst seinen Redewendungen an -, und er wollte wieder zurück, um diese Dinge gutzumachen. Daher seine Leidenschaft für die Schweiz, daher seine Leidenschaft für den Bau der Arlbergbahn. Man kann schon sagen, selbst in der äußeren Gestalt, wenn Sie sich dieses anschauen, drückte sich das aus - er sah eigentlich nicht polnisch aus. Und Hausner sagte auch bei jeder Gelegenheit, daß er ja nicht einmal der physischen Abstammung nach ein Pole sei, sondern nur der Zivilisation und Erziehung nach, daß «rätisch-alemannische» Blutkügelchen, wie er sich ausdrückte, in seinen Adern rollten. Er hatte aber aus einer früheren Inkarnation sich das hinübergenommen, daß er immer nach der Gegend schaute, wo er einmal gewesen war, in die er mit dem Columban und dem heiligen Gallus gezogen war, wo er das Christentum verbreiten wollte, aber eigentlich vom Germanentum festgehalten worden war. So machte er sozusagen den Versuch, in einer möglichst wenig polnischen Familie wiederum geboren zu werden, und fernzustehen, aber doch zu gleicher Zeit mit Sehnsucht gegenüberzustehen demjenigen, in dem er früher ganz drinnengestanden hatte.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":287,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/236/1924-04-06/p042"}],"english":["GA 236/1924-04-06/p042"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":287,"en_words":304,"ratio":1.06,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4342,"original_word_count":4120,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"George Adams.
