  • Albulabanan Jarnvag.Ch På Rhätische Bahn I Schweiz
    Albulabanan jarnvag.ch på Rhätische Bahn i Schweiz En skiss över Rhätische Bahns järnvägsnät i sydöstra Schweiz finns till höger. Albulabanan leder från Chur över Thusis och Filisur till St Moritz. Delen Thusis – St Moritz leder genom en mycket bergig terräng och hör till UNESCOs världskulturarv. För att kunna bygga denna fantastiska järnväg konstruerades många broar, viadukter och tunnlar. Banan är elektrifierad med enfas växelström 11 kV 16 2/3 Hz och är som hela Rhätische Bahn meterspårig Den meterspåriga Rhätische Bahn började 1889 som Landquart-Davos Bahn, se separat artikel. Denna första järnvägsdel förlängdes 1894-96 från Landquart över Chur till Thusis. Samma år som den delen blev färdig ändrades banans namn från Landquart-Davos Bahn till Rhätische Bahn (RhB). I slutet av 1800-talet skulle den stora dalen Engadin (Inn-dalen) med St. Moritz i Graubünden få järnvägsanslutning. För detta ändamål fanns det planer på att bygga banan dit från Davos över Septimerpasset, men till slut segrade ett annat förslag: att bygga banan från Thusis via Albula till kurorten St. Moritz i Engadin. Denna järnväg, kallad Albulabanan, byggdes 1898-1904 av som mest 5000 rallare. Banan är anlagd i bitvis mycket svår terräng, som krävt avancerade tekniska lösningar, bl.a. flera ingenjörstekninska mästerverk: Landwasserviadukten, Albulatunneln och avsnittet Bergün-Preda med de många spiraltunnlarna. Totalt måste det byggas 55 broar och 39 tunnlar längs den 62 km långa sträckan. Genom detta blev Albulabanan också en av de intressantaste järnvägarna över huvud taget. Hela Albulabanan blev därför UNESCO-världskulturarv 2008, tillsammans med den anslutande Berninabanan. Linjebeskrivning Albulabanan börjar i Thusis, där den som sagt ansluter till den tidigare byggda järnvägen Landquart – Chur – Thusis.

Österreichische Slaatsdruckcrei. 9143 36 Zum Geleit! Mit der Fertigstellung .ßieser Erläuterungen ist das große Werk der Übersichtskarte von Osterreich erst wirklich vollendet und all­ gemein zugänglich geworden. Vieles, was die Karte in Linien und Farben nicht mehr auszudrücken vermag, hat hier nun seine Beantwortung und seine Begrenzung ge:.. funde11. Für eine Übersichtskarte vom kleinen Maßstab 1: 500.000 bedeuten die Erläuterungen aber noch mehr als eine Erklärung der vielen Aus­ scheidungen. Sie bringen für viele und wichtige Teile der Karte geradezu eine starke Vergrößerung des Kartenbildes hervor und werfen so einen hellen, erklärenden Schein darüber. Bei dem großen Umfang des Gebietes, seiner reichen äußeren und inneren Gliederung und bei dem höchst ungleichen Stand der Bearbeitung war die Herausgabe der Übersichtskarte eine besonders schwierige, eine kühne und eine vielfach undankbare Unternehmung. Die Schwierigkeiten des Erläuterungsbuches sind andere, aber vielfach nicht geringere gewesen. Hier galt es vor allem, aus der riesigen Literatur sowie der eigenen Erfahrung jene Beiträge auszuwählen, die für die Benutzung der Karte wertvoll und führend sind. Dies ist in erster Linie bei einer größeren Verbreitung der Karte wichtig, die auch auf Kreise der Bevölkerung übergreifen soll, die bisher der Geologie ferngestanden sind. Für diese mit a1len Kräften anzustrebende Verbreitung der Über­ sichtskarte spielen aber gerade die Erläuterungen die entseheidende Rolle, ohne welche die Karte für Laien nur ein schönes, aber unverständ­ liches Farbenspiel bleibt.

Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).
