His obituary at time of death:
paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=s...
Rev Francis Whitmore (Frank) Isitt (1843[sic] –1916) was a New Zealand Methodist Minister, who was general secretary of the New Zealand Alliance (for prohibition) from 1900 to 1909. He was a brother of the Rev Leonard Isitt.
Rev Frank Isitt entered the ministry from the Sydenham Circuit, London and after a term at Richmond College went to New Zealand in 1871. He was a parish minister for a number of years, but after two breakdowns in health concentrated on temperance work. He stood in the 1902 election as a prohibition candidate for ten seats, and came second in eight. He also stood in the 1905 and 1908 elections.
In February 1874 he married Mary Campbell Purdie (Spinster, 22 years) in Dunedin; in the house of Dr. Wm Purdie of Upper Kaikorai, who was probably her father.
Also
“Here are buried Herbert John Isitt and his brothers who were Methodist ministers and deeply involved with politics and the social problems of their age.
The Rev. Frank Isitt was born in England in 1846, trained at the Wesleyan Training College, Richmond, came to New Zealand in 1870 and served at Balclutha, Port Chalmers and New Plymouth. After he had recovered from a breakdown in his health, he served at Nelson, Invercargill and the East Belt (FitzGerald Avenue), Christchurch. In the 1890s he took up work for the Prohibition organisation, the New Zealand Alliance, first as travelling agent and then as secretary. He edited the Prohibitionist, firstly with Thomas Edward Taylor and then on his own, ‘possessed rare gifts of organisation … [a] magnetic personality … passionate eloquence … and untiring energy’. He was a ‘man of very warm friendships … had a fine character in his private life …. [and] a host of friends throughout New Zealand’.
A ‘comrade’ wrote:
Today will be laid to rest the frail body in which tabernacled for 70 years the strong heroic soul of F. W. Isitt. Pure of heart, gentle of nature, strong and brave of soul, the wrong and oppression of the weak, the suffering of humanity ever kindled in him a passion of pity and a consuming desire to help and save.
Frank, with his brother, L. M. Isitt, T. E. Taylor and the Rev. P. R. Munro
… formed that quartet of great leaders which, for so many stirring and strenuous years led valiantly and wisely the crusade against the liquor trade throughout New Zealand and secured much restrictive and progressive licensing legislation.
The ‘comrade’ concluded:
He lived the truth he taught,
white-souled, clean-handed, pure in heart.
As God live, he must live always.
There is no end for souls like his,
No night for children of the day.
The gravestone states that Frank Isitt was ‘Patriot, Preacher, Prohibitionist: Friend of children, lover of mankind: his life was a challenge, not a truce’.
Leonard Monk Isitt was born in England in 1855 and, in New Zealand, joined the Methodist ministry, being ordained in 1881. He became an enemy of drink when he went to bury a victim of alcoholic poisoning. The coach-driver was scarcely able to control his horse, such was his state of inebriation; and the grave-digger was so drunk that he could only inadequately dig the grave.
With Thomas Edward Taylor, Leonard Isitt led the no-licence campaign which led to the closure of all the public hotels in Sydenham. The decision was fought all the way through the courts and up to the Privy Council where it was reversed. With the consent of the Methodist Conference, Isitt resigned from his ministry and devoted his time to campaigning for a ‘local option measure’ so that different areas could vote on whether they would have licensed premises.
Four times Isitt campaigned in England for the Great Britain Alliance. For 12 years he lectured on Prohibition virtually as a whole time job and ‘ruined a remarkably fine singing voice to the extent that … [he] had to give up singing altogether’.
Taylor died in 1911, Isitt taking his Christchurch North seat. When interest in Prohibition waned, he supported the Bible-in-schools campaign. He retired in 1925, dying in 1937.” [2]

"Methodist minister, temperance leader, politician.
Leonard Monk Isitt was born in a Methodist home in Bedford, England; his father died when he was two and his mother when he was 12. He was educated at Clevedon Methodist College, Northampton, and, afterwards, at the age of 15, joined a drapery firm. He came out to New Zealand to get experience and also to join his brother Francis Whitmore who was a Methodist minister at Balclutha. Isitt worked in the warehouse of Ross and Glendining at Dunedin, but the urge to enter the Methodist ministry became stronger, and he was sent to a Home Mission Station at Lawrence. Here occurred an incident which influenced his subsequent career. Called upon to conduct the burial service of a man who had died of alcoholic poisoning, whose body was hurried by a drunken driver to a grave left half-dug by a drunken gravedigger, Isitt scathingly denounced the publicans present at the funeral and set his whole energies to fight the drink evil.
Isitt became a minister in 1876 and was ordained in 1881. He was stationed successively at Auckland, Masterton, Wellington, Christchurch and, finally, in 1889 at Sydenham, where the drink evil was seen in its most sordid aspect. It was largely a working-class district, with grimy little cottages jammed into the smallest possible sections, many of them blackened with smoke from the railway yards. He met T. E. Taylor, a kindred spirit, and together they determined to fight for legislative prohibition. The campaign followed two chief lines of attack. One was propaganda spread by means of a paper, The Prohibitionist, which, although started for local consumption, was soon circulated throughout New Zealand under the name of the Vanguard. His brother Francis edited the paper. This propaganda was aided by one of the most powerful speaking campaigns ever carried out in New Zealand. Isitt had a natural eloquence which, fed by his burning enthusiasm for his cause, made him an orator of a type probably unequalled in New Zealand. He ruined a good singing voice by his efforts. Dr C. F. Aked described him in these words: “When did we hear such speaking as his? Clear pure Saxon, not a word misplaced, not a sentence which could be improved; every phrase a point; every point sent home; massive sentences falling like the strokes of a sledgehammer”. The Methodist Conference released him from his usual work to concentrate on his campaign.
Isitt's second line of attack was to gain control of the Licensing Committee and refuse licences to all Sydenham hotels. The first attempt in 1890 failed, but the next election resulted in all five members elected being Prohibitionists. The publicans, however, took a test case to Court and Judge Denniston ruled that the Licensing Committee had acted beyond its powers, which should be used in a judicial and impartial manner, not as an instrument of a campaign. The Court of Appeal unanimously upheld him.
Isitt made four speaking tours in England at the invitation of the United Kingdom Alliance. When T. E. Taylor died in 1911, he succeeded him as member of Parliament for Sydenham, and held the seat until 1925 when he was appointed to the Legislative Council. He worked hard to get the Local Option Bill through Parliament and was successful. Bible in Schools was another cause he worked for and he was prominent in the Boy Scout movement. He was a governor of Canterbury College and was vice-president of the Methodist Centenary Conference in 1922. He founded the firm of L. M. Isitt and Co., booksellers (Christ-church), and was its managing director.
In 1881 he married Agnes, daughter of John Scott Caverhill. One son, Sir Leonard Isitt, was head of the New Zealand Air Staff and another was killed in the 1914–18 war."[5]

“Private advice has been received that Private Willard Isitt, younger son of the Rev. L. M. Isitt, M.P. has died from wounds in France, aged 23 years of age. He was engaged in his father’s bookselling business when he enlisted with the 12th Reinforcements. He was a young man of fine grit and determination, and the story told of his enlistment shows the stuff he was made of. He had offered his services several times and been rejected because the sight of one eye was defective. Ultimately he found a way out of the difficulty when in a boxing bout with a friend. He invited and received a solid blow on the defective eye. The result, of course, was to close it up, and before the effect had time to disappear Isitt, presented himself for medical examination, and got through. The Rev. Mr Isitt’s only other son was wounded in the battle of the Somme.”[9]

German postcard by Horn, no. 19. Image: Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF). Caption: Wartezimmer.
The Mainzelmännchen (literally: the little men from the city of Mainz') are six cartoon characters named Anton, Berti, Conni, Det, Edi and Fritz, who serve as bumpers on ZDF television in Germany. Like dwarfs they carry a Phrygian cap (a soft conical cap with the top pulled forward). Their name goes back to the city of Mainz, the seat of the ZDF, and the The Heinzelmännchen (a race of creatures appearing in a tale connected with the city of Cologne in Germany). Inventor and first designer of the Mainzelmännchen was Wolf Gerlach. Since 1963, some 40,000 films have been made and each year there are at about 500 new cartoons. Each cartoon lasts about three seconds.

- Die Institutionen des NS-Terrors -
Auf dem Gelände der „Topographie des Terrors”, neben dem Martin-Gropius-Bau und unweit des Potsdamer Platzes, befanden sich von 1933 bis 1945 die wichtigsten Zentralen des nationalsozialistischen Terrors: das Geheime Staatspolizeiamt mit eigenem „Hausgefängnis”, die Reichsführung-SS, der Sicherheitsdienst (SD) der SS und während des Zweiten Weltkriegs auch das Reichssicherheitshauptamt.
- Baudenkmal Berliner Mauer -
Die Berliner Mauer wurde weltweit zum Symbol der Teilung Deutschlands nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und darüber hinaus Symbol des Kalten Krieges zwischen Ost und West.
Der Bau der Mauer begann am 13. August 1961. Mit dieser über 150 km langen Grenzsperranlage riegelte die Regierung der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (DDR) Ost-Berlin und das übrige Gebiet der DDR hermetisch ab. Zwischen Oktober 1949 und August 1961 waren mehr als 2,7 Millionen Menschen aus der DDR geflohen, mehrheitlich über die Sektorengrenzen zwischen Ost- und West-Berlin. Die Mauer sollte diesen Flüchtlingsstrom unterbinden und jeden unkontrollierten Grenzübergang unmöglich machen.
Die Sperranlage bestand aus mehreren Abschnitten: einer „Vorderlandmauer” und einer „Hinter-landmauer”, einem Grenzstreifen mit Kolonnenweg, Wachtürmen und Sperrbefestigungen. Bis 1989 kamen an der Berliner Mauer mindestens 136 Menschen zu Tode, 98 von ihnen waren Flüchtlinge. Die meisten fielen den Schüssen der DDR-Grenztruppen zum Opfer.
Die Reformpolitik der Sowjetunion, die rasch anwachsende Protestbewegung der DDR-Bevölkerung, aber auch die inzwischen mögliche Flucht tausender DDR-Bürger über das osteuropäische Ausland führten am 9. November 1989 zum friedlichen „Fall” der Mauer. Wenig später wurden die ersten Teile der Mauer niedergerissen. Noch vor der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands am 3. Oktober 1990 war sie weitgehend aus dem Stadtbild Berlins verschwunden.
Das 200 m lange Reststück der Mauer an der Niederkirchnerstraße – die hier die Grenze zwischen den Bezirken Mitte (Ost-Berlin) und Kreuzberg (West-Berlin) markierte – wurde auf Wunsch der „Topographie des Terrors” mit allen Spuren der Zerstörung aus der Zeit des Mauerfalls erhalten und 1990 unter Denkmalschutz gestellt. Das Mauerfragment ist heute Bestandteil des Dokumentationszentrums Topographie des Terrors. Als eines der wenigen noch erhaltenen Mauerreste in der Stadt ist es auch eine der zentralen Stationen innerhalb des vom Berliner Senat entwickelten „Gesamtkonzepts Berliner Mauer”.

- The institutions of Nazi terror -
Between 1933 and 1945, the central institutions of Nazi persecution and terror – the Secret State Police Office with its own “house prison,” the leadership of the SS and, during the Second World War, the Reich Security Main Office – were located on the present-day grounds of the “Topography of Terror” that are next to the Martin Gropius Building and close to Potsdamer Platz.
- Berlin Wall Monument -
The Berlin Wall became an international symbol of the division of Germany after the Second World War and also of the Cold War between East and West. Construction of the Berlin Wall began on August 13, 1961. The government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) built this more than 150-kilometer-long barrier to hermetically seal off East Berlin and the rest of the territory of the GDR. More than 2.7 million people fled the GDR between October 1949 and August 1961, the majority of them across the border separating Berlin’s Eastern and Western sectors. The Wall was designed to halt this stream of refugees and make it impossible to cross the borders unchecked. The installation consisted of several sections: a Vorderlandmauer (front wall) and a Hinterlandmauer (back wall), an inner track with a patrol path, watchtowers, and barrier fortifications. By 1989 at least 136 people had lost their lives at the Wall, 98 of them while trying to flee. Most of them were shot down by GDR guards. Reforms in the Soviet Union, the rapidly growing protest movement in the GDR population, as well as the flight of thousands of GDR citizens via Eastern European countries led to the peaceful “fall” of the Wall on November 9, 1989. Soon afterwards the first sections of the barrier were torn down. Even before the reunification of Germany on October 3, 1990, the Wall had largely disappeared from the Berlin landscape.
At the request of the “Topography of Terror,” the remaining 200 meters of the Wall at Niederkirchnerstraße – which marked the border between the districts of Mitte (East Berlin) and Kreuzberg (West Berlin) – have been preserved with all the traces of the destruction that occurred during the transitional period. This fragment of the Wall, designated a historic monument in 1990, now forms part of the Topography of Terror Documentation Center. As one of the few surviving sectors of the Wall in the city, it is also one of the central sites in the “Overall Concept for the Berlin Wall” developed by the Berlin Senate.
