In order to initiate and implement conversion on a much larger scale, we need a change in our current culture - in planning, in building, and also in the way we use, think about, and imagine space. In this discussion we continue the debate on planning cultures of conversion. University and institutional research meets practice. We are building on the impulses and discussions of our jointly organized symposium at tu! Hambach 2024, which we organized together. We were on site in a region undergoing major restructuring: the Rhenish lignite mining area. Our event took place in the abandoned village of Morschenich-Alt, now Bürgerwald. This village is facing a far-reaching conversion process in the coming years. And even beyond the specific background of the abandonment of lignite mining, there are many reasons to take a closer look at the existing material, social and cultural resources in the existing buildings and settlement areas and to make use of them.Um Umbau in viel größerem Umfang in Gang zu setzen und umzusetzen, benötigen wir eine Veränderung unserer aktuellen Kultur – im Planen, im Bauen und auch in unserer Art und Weise, wie wir Räume nutzen, denken und imaginieren. In diesem Gespräch setzen wir die Diskussion zu Planungskulturen des Umbauens fort. Universitäre und institutionelle Forschung treffen auf die Praxis. Wir knüpfen an die Impulse und Diskussionen im Rahmen unseres gemeinsam organisierten Symposiums auf der tu! Hambach 2024 an. Dabei waren wir vor Ort in einer Region, die stark im Umbau ist: das Rheinische Braunkohlerevier. Unsere Veranstaltung fand im leergezogenen Dorf Morschenich-Alt, heute Bürgerwald, statt. Dieses Dorf hat in den kommenden Jahren einen weitreichenden Umbauprozess vor sich. Und auch jenseits der besonderen Kulisse des Braunkohleausstiegs gibt es viele Anlässe, die bestehenden materiellen wie auch sozialen und kulturellen Ressourcen im Gebäudebestand und in bestehenden Siedlungsgebieten noch stärker in den Blick zu nehmen und zu nutzen.You can find the blog What/Next at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.planung-neu-denken.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music: Elephants on Parade by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podington Bear⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International License

Imagine a time when the empire was rudderless, the throne of the Holy Roman Empire empty, and the scramble for power rippled across every corner of the land. Princes, bishops, and nobles seized the moment to expand their influence, but in this chaos, an unexpected force began to rise—cities. And at the heart of this urban revolution was the year 1254, when towns along the Rhine defied the odds to form an unprecedented alliance. Welcome to the story of the Rhenish League of Cities.

The Temporary University Hambach is an innovative format for cooperation and collaboration, mutual learning, encounters and the organisation of people, initiatives and institutions that are committed to the long-term success of structural change in the Rhenish lignite mining region. Under the motto "Do something, join in!", the tu! 2024 project days will take place in June - a joint initiative of the RWTH with the transformation platform REVIERa, Neuland Hambach GmbH and the municipality of Merzenich with the BBSR – Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development Cottbus, Aachen University of Applied Sciences, the LVR –Rhineland Regional Council and the ZRR – Rhineland Future Agency. Georg Gelhausen, Manfred Körber and Anika Noack talk to Agnes Förster about the tu! 2024's potential to give new impetus to the ongoing process of structural change – both locally in the future location of Morschenich -Alt and in the nationwide networking and knowledge exchange with the mining regions of Central Germany and Lusatia.

In 1850, Robert Schumann accepted a position as the new Music Director in Dusseldorf. This job had a lot of responsibilities, including conducting the city orchestra. Schumann, along with his wife, the legendary pianist Clara Schumann, and their 7 children moved to Dusseldorf. The city made a huge to do about the Schumann's arrival, welcoming him with balls, speeches, and parades. This was a new adventure for the Schumann family, and Robert, at least at first, was invigorated. He loved the less reserved personality of the residents of Dusseldorf, and he was deeply inspired by the Rhine river. Very quickly, Schumann had begun composing at his usual feverish pace. He wrote his cello concerto in just two weeks, and then he began a new symphony, what would turn out to be his last symphony. It would be a celebration of the Rhineland and all of its prosperity, beauty, and charm. Soon after the symphony was written however, the euphoria turned towards catasprophe. Schumann was not a good conductor, and the musicians of the orchestra soon turned bitterly against him. His compositions were still not well understood, and his mental health began sliding towards a crisis point again. So Schumann's 3rd symphony, the Rhenish, really represents a snapshot in time - a time of euphoria, of joy, of possibility. It is this boundless energy that comes up again and again in this remarkable symphony which we are going to talk about today. We'll discuss the wonderful varieties of joy Schumann includes in the piece, its unusual structure, it's transcendent fourth movement, and the unique challenges of performing Schumann's music, which often bedevil conductors to this day.

Port Natal and Delagoa Bay are far away from Cape Town and appeared even further in the early 1820s. The Cape Governor was inevitably more concerned with what lay immediately beyond the colonial frontiers than in these distant ports. Much of what concerned Lord Charles Somerset – and had concerned his predecessors – already lay along the frontiers. The colony had thrown out an ever increasing fringe of loose cannons, skirmishers, traders, trek-boers, escaped slaves, and even rebellious missionaries. The flood of missionaries turned into a tsunami by the mid-1820s, the London Missionary Society was already at work as you know, and by now they were established along both sides of the Orange River and into the eastern Frontier. The Moravians had arrived and were carving out new parishers even further east, while the Wesleyans were already amongst the far-distant amaPondo people. The Zulu had been raiding these people from Shaka's centre of power as you know. There were a number of Scots from Glasgow who found living amongst the amaXhosa to their liking, and even missionaries from Germany showed up, particularly from Berlin, and they began living amongst the amaXhosa too. The Rhenish and Paris Evangelicals arrived too, one to work within the colony and the other headed north into Bechuanaland, and then to the Basutho. The LMS and Paris Evangelicals were moving along the first stage of what became known as the Missionary Road which led all the way from the Cape into Central Africa. By now the chiefdoms of the Caledon Valley and the open plains north of the Orange River had been squeezed between three expanding zones of instability and conflict. From the south and south west parties of Griqua, Kora and Boers were raiding for cattle and cheap labour. To the northwest, the rivalries of Batswana chiefdoms were spilling across the Vaal River. To the East, the fighting that had seen the AmaZulu and amaNdwandwe at war, as well as the amaMthethwa, had displaced groups as you've heard and some had headed across the Drakensberg. Then Lord Bathurst the Secretary of State set up an Advisory Council in Cape Town which consisted of the Governor, muttering under his bewigged breath, the Chief Justice, the colonial Secretary, the Officer commanding, the Deputy-Quartermaster-General, the Auditor General and the Treasurer. The Council was to deal with quite an interesting proposal, and this was allowing the Eastern Cape to be represented by their own council, by some kind of representative assembly. They fired the first round in what was to become a long-sustained but ultimately unsuccessful battle for separation by Eastern Capers.

Der liebe Andreas steht heute, am 15. Februar 2022, kurz vor seiner alljährlichen "Karnevalsflucht", die in diesem Jahr - der Pandemie sei Dank! - eher eine "Nicht-Karnevalsflucht" ist, denn das närrische Treiben in den rheinischen Karnevalshochburgen wird deutlich reduziert sein. Bevor Euer Gastgeber an die Küsten Zeelands aufbricht, versorgt er Euch Fans noch schnell mit dieser 363. Episode von "XtraChill", die der winterlichen Kälte unter anderem mit zwei heißen "Flotten Dreiern" entgegentreten wird! Today, on February 15, 2022, dear Andreas is about to go on his annual "carnival escape", which this year - thanks to the pandemic! - is more of a "non-carnival escape", because the hustle and bustle in the Rhenish carnival strongholds will be significantly reduced. Before your host sets off for the coast of Zeeland, he'll quickly provide you fans with this 363. episode of "XtraChill", which will counteract the winter cold with two hot "Threesomes" among other things!

Jakob Fugger founded the housing project for the poor in 1521. The annual rent was one Rhenish guilder – or 88 cents today – and it never rose. But to live here, you have to say three prayers a day.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin Robert Browning - 1812-1889     I Hamelin Town's in Brunswick, By famous Hanover city; The river Weser, deep and wide, Washes its wall on the southern side; A pleasanter spot you never spied; But, when begins my ditty, Almost five hundred years ago, To see the townsfolk suffer so From vermin, was a pity. II Rats! They fought the dogs and killed the cats, And bit the babies in the cradles, And ate the cheeses out of the vats, And licked the soup from the cooks' own ladle's, Split open the kegs of salted sprats, Made nests inside men's Sunday hats, And even spoiled the women's chats By drowning their speaking With shrieking and squeaking In fifty different sharps and flats. III At last the people in a body To the town hall came flocking: "'Tis clear," cried they, 'our Mayor's a noddy; And as for our Corporation--shocking To think we buy gowns lined with ermine For dolts that can't or won't determine What's best to rid us of our vermin! You hope, because you're old and obese, To find in the furry civic robe ease? Rouse up, sirs! Give your brains a racking To find the remedy we're lacking, Or, sure as fate, we'll send you packing!" At this the Mayor and Corporation Quaked with a mighty consternation. IV An hour they sat in council, At length the Mayor broke silence: "For a guilder I'd my ermine gown sell, I wish I were a mile hence! It's easy to bid one rack one's brain-- I'm sure my poor head aches again, I've scratched it so, and all in vain Oh for a trap, a trap, a trap!" Just as he said this, what should hap At the chamber door but a gentle tap? "Bless us,' cried the Mayor, "what's that?" (With the Corporation as he sat, Looking little though wondrous fat; Nor brighter was his eye, nor moister Than a too-long-opened oyster, Save when at noon his paunch grew mutinous For a plate of turtle, green and glutinous) "Only a scraping of shoes on the mat? Anything like the sound of a rat Makes my heart go pit-a-pat!" V "Come in!"--the Mayor cried, looking bigger: And in did come the strangest figure! His queer long coat from heel to head Was half of yellow and half of red And he himself was tall and thin, With sharp blue eyes, each like a pin, And light loose hair, yet swarthy skin, No tuft on cheek nor beard on chin, But lips where smiles went out and in-- There was no guessing his kith and kin! And nobody could enough admire The tall man and his quaint attire. Quoth one: "It's as if my great-grandsire, Starting up at the Trump of Doom's tone, Had walked this way from his painted tombstone!" VI He advanced to the council-table: And, "Please your honors," said he, "I'm able, By means of a secret charm, to draw All creatures living beneath the sun, That creep or swim or fly or run, After me so as you never saw! And I chiefly use my charm On creatures that do people harm, The mole and toad and newt and viper; And people call me the Pied Piper." (And here they noticed round his neck A scarf of red and yellow stripe, To match with his coat of the self-same check; And at the scarf's end hung a pipe; And his fingers, they noticed, were ever straying As if impatient to be playing Upon this pipe, as low it dangled Over his vesture so old-fangled.) "Yet," said he, "poor piper as I am, In Tartary I freed the Cham, Last June, from his huge swarm of gnats; I eased in Asia the Nizam Of a monstrous brood of vampyre-bats: And as for what your brain bewilders-- If I can rid your town of rats Will you give me a thousand guilders?" "One? Fifty thousand!" was the exclamation Of the astonished Mayor and Corporation. VII Into the street the Piper stept, Smiling first a little smile, As if he knew what magic slept In his quiet pipe the while; Then, like a musical adept, To blow the pipe his lips he wrinkled, And green and blue his sharp eyes twinkled, Like a candle-flame where salt is sprinkled; And ere three shrill notes the pipe uttered, You heard as if an army muttered; And the muttering grew to a grumbling; And the grumbling grew to a mighty rumbling; And out of the houses the rats came tumbling. Great rats, small rats, lean rats, brawny rats, Brown rats, black rats, gray rats, tawny rats, Grave old plodders, gay young friskers, Fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins, Cocking tails and pricking whiskers, Families by tens and dozens, Brothers, sisters, husbands, wives-- Followed the Piper for their lives. From street to street he piped advancing, And step for step they followed dancing, Until they came to the river Weser Wherein all plunged and perished! ‹Save one who, stout as Julius Caesar, Swam across and lived to carry (As the manuscript he cherished) To Rat-land home his commentary: Which was, "At the first shrill notes of the pipe, I heard a sound as of scraping tripe, And putting apples, wondrous ripe, Into a cider-press's gripe: And a moving away of pickle-tub-boards, And a leaving ajar of conserve-cupboards, And a drawing the corks of train-oil-flasks, And a breaking the hoops of butter-casks: And it seemed as if a voice (Sweeter far than by harp or by psaltery Is breathed) called out, 'Oh rats, rejoice! The world is grown to one vast dry-saltery! So munch on, crunch on, take your nuncheon, Breakfast, supper, dinner, luncheon!' And just as a bulky sugar-puncheon, All ready staved, like a great sun shone Glorious scarce an inch before me, Just as methought it said 'Come bore me!' -- I found the Weser rolling o'er me." VIII You should have heard the Hamelin people Ringing the bells till they rocked the steeple. Go," cried the Mayor, "and get long poles! Poke out the nests and block up the holes! Consult with carpenters and builders And leave in our town not even a trace Of the rats!"-- when suddenly, up the face Of the Piper perked in the market-place, With a, "First, if you please, my thousand guilders!" IX A thousand guilders! The Mayor looked blue; So did the Corporation too. For council dinners made rare havoc With Claret, Moselle, Vin-de-Grave, Hock; And half the money would replenish Their cellar's biggest butt with Rhenish. To pay this sum to a wandering fellow With a gypsy coat of red and yellow! "Beside," quoth the Mayor with a knowing wink, "Our business was done at the river's brink; We saw with our eyes the vermin sink, And what's dead can't come to life, I think. So, friend, we're not the folks to shrink From the duty of giving you something for drink, And a matter of money to put in your poke; But as for the guilders, what we spoke Of them, as you very well know, was in joke. Beside, our losses have made us thrifty . A thousand guilders! Come, take fifty! X The Piper's face fell, and he cried, "No trifling! I can't wait! Beside, I've promised to visit by dinnertime Bagdad, and accept the prime Of the Head-Cook's pottage, all he's rich in, For having left, in the Caliph's kitchen, Of a nest of scorpions no survivor-- With him I proved no bargain-driver, With you, don't think I'll bate a stiver! And folks who put me in a passion May find me pipe to another fashion." XI "How?" cried the Mayor, "d'ye think I brook Being worse treated than a Cook? Insulted by a lazy ribald With idle pipe and vesture piebald? You threaten us, fellow? Do your worst, Blow your pipe there till you burst!" XII Once more he stept into the street And to his lips again Laid his long pipe of smooth straight cane; And ere he blew three notes (such sweet Soft notes as yet musician's cunning Never gave the enraptured air) There was a rustling that seemed like a bustling Of merry crowds justling at pitching and hustling, Small feet were pattering, wooden shoes clattering, Little hands clapping, and little tongues chattering, And, like fowls in a farm-yard when barley is scattering, Out came the children running. All the little boys and girls, With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls, And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls, Tripping and skipping, ran merrily after The wonderful music with shouting and laughter. XIII The Mayor was dumb, and the Council stood As if they were changed into blocks of wood, Unable to move a step or cry, To the children merrily skipping by-- And could only follow with the eye That joyous crowd at the Piper's back. But how the Mayor was on the rack And the wretched Council's bosoms beat, As the Piper turned from the High Street To where the Weser rolled its water's Right in the way of their sons and daughters! However he turned from South to West And to Koppelberg Hill his steps addressed, And after him the children pressed; Great was the joy in every breast. "He never can cross that mighty top! He's forced to let the piping drop And we shall see our children stop! When, lo, as they reached the mountain-side, A wondrous portal opened wide, As if a cavern was suddenly hollowed; And the Piper advanced and the children followed, And when all were in to the very last, The door in the mountain-side shut fast. Did I say all? No! One was lame, And could not dance the whole of the way; And in after years, if you would blame His sadness, he was used to say,-- "It's dull in our town since my playmates left! I can't forget that I'm bereft Of all the pleasant sights they see, Which the Piper also promised me. For he led us, he said, to a joyous land, Joining the town and just at hand, Where waters gushed and fruit-trees grew, And flowers put forth a fairer hue, And everything was strange and new; The sparrows were brighter than peacocks here, And their dogs outran our fallow deer, And honey-bees had lost their stings, And horses were born with eagles' wings: And just as I became assured My lame foot would be speedily cured, The music stopped and I stood still, And found myself outside the hill, Left alone against my will, To go now limping as before, And never hear of that country more! XIV Alas, alas for Hamelin! There came into many a burgher's pate A text which says that heaven's gate Opens to the rich at as easy rate As the needle's eye takes a camel in! The mayor sent East, West, North and South, To offer the Piper, by word of mouth Wherever it was men's lot to find him, Silver and gold to his heart's content, If he'd only return the way he went, And bring the children behind him. But when they saw 'twas a lost endeavor, And Piper and dancers were gone forever, They made a decree that lawyers never Should think their records dated duly If, after the day of the month and year, These words did not as well appear: "And so long after what happened here On the twenty-second of July, Thirteen hundred and seventy-six;" And the better in memory to fix The place of the children's last retreat, They called it the Pied Piper's Street, Where any one playing on pipe or tabor Was sure for the future to lose his labor. Nor suffered they hostelry or tavern To shock with mirth a street so solemn, But opposite the place of the cavern They wrote the story on a column, And on the great church-window painted The same, to make the world acquainted How their children were stolen away, And there it stands to this very day. And I must not omit to say That, in Transylvania there's a tribe Of alien people who ascribe To the outlandish ways and dress On which their neighbors lay such stress, To their fathers and mothers having risen Out of some subterranean prison Into which they were trepanned Long time ago in a mighty band Out of Hamelin town in Brunswick land, But how or why they don't understand. XV So, Willy, let you and me be wipers Of scores out with all men--especially pipers! And, whether they pipe us free, from rats or from mice, If we've promised them ought, let us keep our promise.

While talking outside of the Berlin Art Fair we had a chance to discuss: Idealism, the art scene in Cologne, Germany, how their gallery chooses artists, exclusivity for artists, the need for constructive feedback, how to write an artist cv and artist statement, abstract art, conceptual art, the subjectivity of art, online art sales, the ability to translate online and social media interest into sales or career advancing opportunities, being a closer, whether a gallery or artist should put prices online, VAT and taxes, the value vs price of artwork, instalment or payment plans to purchase art, and artist managers http://www.galeriealber.com   About The GALERIE ALBER aims to join the Rhenish gallery tradition and to further develop it in the spirit of today's networking culture. The challenges of the digital age are deliberately reflected and differentiated in order to promote the reach of fresh artistic positions through the use of cooperative exchange. Traditional empirical values ​​that have proven themselves in the direct confrontation with the work in space are always continued. The conveyance of the works of art is supported by a progressive curation concept, which is individually adapted. Marco Alber has fallen for art, his gallery is the long-term product of it. Starting with volunteer work at the Friends of the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum u. of the Museum Ludwig eV, there were first experiences in the course of participation in a gallery in Cologne's Agnesviertel, which was to significantly expand its network. In addition, various exhibitions, talks, curations and meditations were carried out up to the final wish to create a place of its own, which should grow from his personal wealth of experience.

Schumann’s Symphony No. 3, Rhenish, completed in 1850 after his much-celebrated appointment as Municipal Music Director in Düsseldorf, reflects his optimism in the face of new challenges. Filled with spirited, glorious themes, Rhenish marks the high point in the life of a composer who struggled with mental illness.

Schumann’s Symphony No. 3, Rhenish, completed in 1850 after his much celebrated appointment as Municipal Music Director in Düsseldorf, reflects his optimism in the face of new challenges. Filled with spirited, glorious themes, Rhenish marks the high point in the life of a composer who struggled with mental illness.

In this episode, we discuss recent announcements, including the casting of Steven Cree as Ian Murray, Sr. We also raise a glass of Rhenish, and continue with our read-along, Chapters 26, “The Laird's Return,” and 27, “The Last Reason.”

In this room you can see a table as it would have been laid for a dinner attended by the emperor’s immediate family during the time of Franz Joseph. Banquets only took place in the great State Rooms of the imperial residence. The table is laid according to the strict guidelines that regulated court ceremonial and which even governed dinners attended by the emperor’s immediate family. The table was always festively decked; in the middle stood gilded centrepieces decorated with flowers, fruit and sweetmeats. On silver cover plates lay elaborately folded damask napkins. Places were only laid for one course at a time. For soup and dessert porcelain plates were used, while all other courses were served on silver plates. The silver cutlery bore the imperial double eagle. Each course was accompanied by a different wine, served in a special glass. The green glasses were used for Rhenish wines. In addition, each person had his or her own wine and water carafes as well as an individual salt-cellar. In order to keep the food fresh and warm, it was transported from the court kitchens to the apartments in heated containers and then kept warm on coal- or later gas-fired warming plates. The emperor sat at the centre of the table facing his guest of honour, the other guests being seated in order of the degree of relationship or rank. Ladies and gentlemen were seated alternately and conversation was only permitted with one’s immediate neighbours at table. Guests were served at the same time as the emperor, who began to eat straight away. Since the course was regarded as over once the emperor had laid down his knife and fork and plates were taken away immediately afterwards, the emperor always took care not to lay down his knife and fork until all his guests had finished eating. A dinner consisted of 9 to 13 courses and lasted a maximum of 45 minutes. Coffee and liqueurs were served afterwards in an adjoining room, where the gentlemen were permitted to smoke.This concludes our tour of the Imperial Apartments. If you’d like to know more about the imperial lifestyle at the Viennese court, why not visit the Imperial Furniture Collection where you can see numerous examples of furniture and interior decoration from many of the Habsburg residences. Opposite the exit of the Imperial Apartments is a station of the U3 underground line: the Imperial Furniture Collection is only three stops and five minutes away. And don’t forget the Imperial Apartments at Schönbrunn Palace, the former summer residence of the imperial family. After leaving the Imperial Apartments you will find yourself on Ballhausplatz, directly beside the entrance to the offices of the Austrian Federal President and opposite the Federal Chancellery. You’ll find a map giving your position at the exit. Finally, we’d like to thank you for your visit, which contributes to the upkeep of the Imperial Apartments. We hope you have a pleasant stay in Vienna!www.hofburg-wien.at | Download Tour-Guide (PDF)© by Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H.

In the first room of the Old Court Silver and Table Room with its oak display cases dating from the time of the monarchy you will see individual items or pieces from Old Vienna, Hungarian and Bohemian services as well as examples of white and gold sanitary porcelain from Bohemia. Note the fine glass services made by the firm of Lobmeyr in Vienna with different variations in the way they have been cut. The green glasses were used for Rhenish wines. The display case in the centre of the room contains the imperial silver cutlery. This is still used today for state banquets. The first large set was supplied by Stephan Mayerhofer before 1837; later orders went to his successors Mayerhofer and Klinkosch and subsequently to Joseph Karl Klinkosch, Purveyor to the Imperial Household. A special feature here is the decoration on the side of the cutlery: the ever-popular fiddle and thread pattern.www.hofburg-wien.at | Download Tour-Guide (PDF)© by Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H.
