For the city Lothringen. Afin de la transformer en une la ville jusqu’alors enfermée dans ses to be a modern capital, German authorities decided to build a new neighbourhood, the “Neustadt”, which tripled the size of the city previously surrounded by its fortifications. This enlargement was also a way to meet the local bourgeoisies’ needs by enhancing the economic growth of Strasbourg. Two architects were asked to design plans for this extension, Jean-Geoffroy Conrath, city architect since 1854, and August Orth, a Berlin architect. The final design, which was agreed upon in 1880, includes features of both conceptions. The new constructions were part of a structural route that runs parallel to major roads such as “Avenue des Vosges”. A monumental avenue was created, including the imperial square, now the “Place de la République”, and the university. Both centres, one political the other cultural, are linked by an axis that is functional and symbolic. The gardens were also an important part of the urban extension. For example, the gardens of the university, the Contades Park, or the Orangerie Park are integrated into the new town, and their layout had to be modified. The Orangerie Park is the oldest in Strasbourg: its creation goes back to the late seventeenth century. Following the relocation of the Orangerie stallion barn to the city centre in 1756, old bridleways were transformed into walking paths which 10 11 lead to the outside of the quarters of the There were only a few buildings around fortifications.

  • Origin and Circulation of a European Sporting Model
    European sports circulations The Council of Europe and sport: origin and circulation of a European sporting model William GASPARINI ABSTRACT While “sport” was absent from the Treaties of Rome (1957) and Maastricht (1992), it was taken up by the Council of Europe as part of the European Cultural Convention adopted in 1954. The European Sport Charter passed in 1975 by this same organization began to circulate a European model that could serve as the foundation for the governmental policies of member states. "The Ministers discussed measures needed to effectively promote and protect human rights in sport. www.insidethegames.biz European construction was the result of a largely unplanned process that was shaped by three competing sets of logic, which were sometimes opposed to one another and sometimes complementary: the strategies of states, the dynamics specific to institutions, and the organization of collective and individual interests. With regard to sport, this process was also marked by relations of competition and complementarity established between both “big Europe” (the Council of Europe) and “little Europe” (the European Economic Community, EEC, and later the European Union, EU), European organizations from the private sector (commercial and non-commercial), and nation states. Considered by the Council of Europe as the “most widespread informal form of activity after school and work [...] enabling the promotion of democracy and participation in particular,” sport did not escape these European issues. The EEC was not particularly interested in this topic during its beginnings, and left the field of sport to the Council of Europe until the 1990s. Sport came under EU competence late, only in 2009.

  • The Case of Strasbourg Astronomical Observatories
    Organizations, People and Strategies in Astronomy I (OPSA I), 295-318 Ed. A. Heck, © 2012 Venngeist. HISTORICAL EXAMPLES OF LOBBYING: THE CASE OF STRASBOURG ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORIES ANDRE´ HECK Observatoire Astronomique 11, rue de l’Universit´e F-67000 Strasbourg, France [email protected] Abstract. Several astronomical observatories have been established in Strasbourg in very differing contexts. In the late 17th century, an observing post (scientifically sterile) was put on top of a tower, the Hospital Gate, essentially for the prestige of the city and the notoriety of the university. In the 19th century, the observatory built on the Acad´emie hosting the French university was the first attempt to set up in the city a real observatory equipped with genuine instrumentation with the purpose of carrying out serious research, but the succession of political regimes in France and the continual bidding for moving the university to other locations, together with the faltering of later scholars, torpedoed any significant scientific us- age of the place. After the 1870-1871 Franco-Prussian war, the German authorities set up a prestigious university campus with a whole range of in- stitutes together with a modern observatory consisting of several buildings and hosting a flotilla of excellent instruments, including the then largest refractor of the country. This paper illustrates various types of lobbying used in the steps above while detailing, from archive documents largely unexploited so far, original research on the two first observatories. 1. Introduction Lobbying can be defined in various ways. My acception here willbe a simple, general one: influencing people (including public officials) for or against a specific cause.
