Zusammenfassung: Objekt dieser Veröffentlichung ist ein Mausoleumsentwurf in Pyramidenform mit einem darin aufgestellten Grabmal. Auf den einzelnen Tafeln werden Aufriß, Schnitt und Grundriß der Pyramide, sowie der Aufriß des Grabmals, das darin zur Aufstellung kommen soll, gezeigt.

  • The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (One of Two)
    The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (one of two) Introduction This document is a commentary of sorts on the Meditations by Marcus Aurelius which consists of twelve short books. The intent is to enable the reader to approach the text in the spirit of lectio divina. This is phrase is usually reserved for reading the Bible and other Christian literature in a slow, meditative fashion, but it can be applied to an ancient philosophical text. The text at hand achieves this by inserting key transliterated Greek terms which includes cross references to the same word or similar words. Usually the last reference to a particular word or phrase is employed, working backwards. The Meditations is a late example of Stoic philosophy and can used as an introduction to it. The English text of George Long was downloaded from http://classics.mit.edu, The Internet Classics Archive. An updated version of the Long edition may be found in the Dover Thrift Edition (1997). BOOK ONE 1.1. From [para: alongside, in the sense of being present to Verus. Each section of Book One begins with this preposition.] my grandfather Verus I learned [not in Greek text] good morals [kaloethes: kallos & ethos: beauty custom or disposition] and the government of my temper [aorgeton: lack of anger; orge: natural impulse or temperament]. 1.2. From [para] the reputation [doxa: opinion, estimation] and remembrance [mneme: or mention, a living presence as opposed to mere memories] of my father, modesty [aidemon: bashfulness; can also pertain to a sense of shame] and a manly character [arrenikon: pertaining to the masculine gender and connotes robustness].

  • Carl Gotthard Langhans' Journey to Italy at the Turn of 1768 and 1769
    Quart 2020, 2 PL ISSN 1896-4133 [s. 91-101] Carl Gotthard Langhans’ journey to Italy at the turn of 1768 and 1769 Jerzy Krzysztof Kos University of Wrocław he Italian journey of Carl G. Langhans (1732–1808) was an exceptional undertaking among architects Tactive in Prussia during the reign of Frederick II Hohenzollern (king in 1740–1786). Its route, chronol- ogy, some events, information about the buildings seen and people encountered, can now only be recon- structed in general outlines which however give an idea of the purpose and effects of the journey. The most important preserved archival evidence of Langhans’ Italian journey is his five letters to Prince Franz Philipp Adrian von Hatzfeld (1717–1779), stored in the State Archive in Wrocław1, and several draw- ings held in the Berlin Märkisches Museum2. The only preserved artistic effect of the journey are the ar- chitectural details made in Carrara and two busts decorating the portico of the former Palace of Hatzfelds in Wroclaw3. Langhans’ journey was a project related to the construction of the new Hatzfeld Palace, in the former Albrechtsgasse in Wrocław (Breslau). The founder of the palace, Franz Philipp Adrian von Hatzfeld, be- longed to the Catholic and pro-Habsburg nobility of Prussian Silesia. He received the title of prince from the king of Prussia in 1742, perhaps in accordance with Frederick II’s principle that the uncertain subjects should be gained for the kingdom by flooding them with titles and decorations4. Indeed, no pro-Habsburg declarations by the Prince are known, even though his sympathies with Austria were evidenced both by testimonies from witnesses of the time5, and by the still ongoing personal contacts with Vienna, sustained by his brother Karl Friedrich Anton, Minister of Finance of Empress Maria Theresa6.

  • Gilly-Weinbrenner-Schinkel: Baukunst Auf Papier Zwischen Gotik Und
    ünf bedeutende Konvolute von Architekturzeichnungen und –reproduktionen aus den Beständen der Göttinger Universitätskunstsammlung und der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitäts- bibliothekF Göttingen werden in der Ausstellung „Gilly – Weinbrenner – Schinkel“ erstmals gemeinsam gezeigt. Eine besondere Entdeckung bieten dabei Friedrich Gillys Entwürfe für ein Theater in Stettin: Es sind die frühesten überhaupt bekannten, überdies brillant in Szene gesetzten Zeichnungen des früh verstorbenen Lehrers von Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Weitere Einblicke in die Architektenpraxis um 1800 vermittelt eine Mappe mit Zeichnungen für ein Theater in Königsberg, die vermutlich Carl Ferdinand Langhans nach Entwürfen Gillys angefertigt hat. Von der Mittelalter-Faszination die- ser Zeit zeugt Friedrich Fricks ebenfalls nach Vorlagen Gillys gedruckte Aquatinta-Serie „Schloss Marienburg in Preußen“. Für einen pragmatischen, aber nicht minder bemerkenswerten Umgang mit mittelalterlicher Bausubstanz stehen Friedrich Weinbrenners Entwürfe für den Umbau der Göttinger Paulinerkirche zur Universitätsbibliothek. Und schließlich belegen Karl Friedrich Schin- kels druckgraphisch reproduzierten Entwürfe für einen Königspalast auf der Akropolis in Athen, wie lange man im 19. Jahrhundert an einer schöpferischen Erneuerung des griechischen Altertums arbeitete.
