Ex Leigh Park Collection.
Calling World War I "the suicide of civilized Europe,' Pope Benedict XV came to the papacy a little over a month after the outbreak of hostilities. Though he had been created a cardinal only earlier in the year, his experience in diplomacy was a key aspect in garnering him the support and votes needed to be elected to lead the Holy See. He embarked upon a great balancing act, attempting to obtain peace in Europe while also attempting not to alienate any countries, especially those that had already moved further away from Catholicism and Rome. Here, Goetz alludes to the bribing of the Pope by the Entente, but this remains a fanciful creation by the author.

depicts "The Bismarck Mausoleum (Bismarck Grabhaus)", Cast Bronze Medal, 356.00g., 105mm, by Karl Goetz, 1919. As you can see it is a big medal measuring over 4" in diameter.
Obverse: Bismarck in the heavens, defiantly clenching his fists with clouds swirling around him.
Legend: Was ich mit Hulfe des deutschen Volkes schuf in grosser Zeit - das hat der Wahn eines einzelnen zerstort • Das deutsche Volk hat sich durtch Unterzeichnung des Friedens von Versailles selbst aus der Reihe der Grossmächte gestrichen • War es fruher gehasst.so wird es jetzt mit Recht verachtet • Es muss sich sogarselbst verachten bis diese Schmach mit dem Blute unserer Feinde abgewaschen wird?" (What I created with the help of the German people over a long period of time - which has been destroyed by the delusion of a single individual. The German people have struck themselves from the list of great powers by subscribing to the Peace of Versailles. It (Germany) was formerly hated, it is now justifiably despised. It must, therefore, despise itself so much until this disgrace will be cleansed with the blood of our enemies).
Reverse: Bismarck's burial place in the Saxon Forest.
Legend: "Deutschlands Ehre, Grosse und Gluck begraben im Sachsenwalde" (Germany's Honor, Greatness and Good Fortune lie buried in the Saxon Forest).
Dated: April 1, 1899, (Kienast 230)
Bismarck died in 1898 when the German empire he was instrumental in founding was still an ascendant power. This medal struck in the climate of despair and national shame following Germany's defeat in the Great War depicts a Bismarck angered by the failure of the German people, scolding them from the grave.
