Niet tevreden met hun rijkdom- men, kijken deze met jaloerse blikken naar de leefwijze van de nog resterende adel. Het behoren tot de adel wordt een fel begeerd statussymbool. Geld speelt hierbij geen rol; zij gaan erop uit om de kastelen te kopen, die de verarmende oude adel thans weer tegen een goede prijs van de hand kan doen. Heerlijkheden zijn bijzonder in trek.1 In 1979 omschreef de Rijksarchivaris van Noord-Holland, Mr. Johan Willem Groes- beek, in Heemstede in de historie het verwerven van kastelen en heerlijke titels door de financiële elite van de Republiek.

  • Jaarverslag 2019 Historische Vereniging Oud Wassenaer
    Jaarverslag 2019 Historische Vereniging Oud Wassenaer Voorwoord, 75 Jaar Vrijheid Beste leden, 2019 was het jaar van de grote evenementen. Het begon al in april met een welverdiende ridderorde voor onze vicevoorzitter Robert van Lit. Eind juli lanceerde de net aangetreden burgemeester Leendert de Lange onze nieuwe website, www.oudwassenaer.nl. En wat zijn wij trots op die website! Neemt u zelf eens een kijkje en lees over onze activiteiten of duik in de wereld van Actueel Verleden. In het najaar organiseerden wij samen met het Nut een zeer succesvolle cursus Architectuur in de 20ste eeuw. Ook waren er diverse andere activiteiten zoals rondleidingen en goedbezochte lezingen. Het jaar 2020 staat in het teken van 75 Jaar Vrijheid en onze vereniging is daar volop bij betrokken. Sinds augustus 2019 publiceert onze secretaris Kees Neisingh regelmatig verhalen op onze website over gebeurtenissen die 75 jaar geleden in Wassenaar plaatsvonden. Tot 5 mei verschijnt er in dit kader een wekelijkse column in de Wassenaarse Krant. Ook werken wij op verzoek van de burgemeester mee aan de samenstelling en uitvoering van een Ereboek met daarin opgenomen alle namen van Wassenaarse slachtoffers van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De realisatie van een aantal zogeheten Stolpersteine (struikelstenen ter nagedachtenis van weggevoerde Joden) is een ander project waar wij samen met de gemeente optrekken. Onze grootste wens voor dit jaar is echter om het monument voor oorlogsslachtoffers aan de Schouwweg op een dusdanige wijze aan te vullen dat alle slachtoffers met naam genoemd worden, en niet slechts de enkelen die nu op het monument vermeld staan. Een hele uitdaging waarbij wij de jeugd willen betrekken door middel van een prijsvraag voor het maken van een ontwerp.

  • Fourteenth–Sixteenth Century)
    Cultural heritage Illustrious Men in Italy and Europe (fourteenth–sixteenth century) Jean-Baptiste DELZANT ABSTRACT Often associated with biblical heroes and mythical figures from chivalry, the illustrious men of Antiquity sparked the medieval imagination in the West. They were collected in a vast repertory from which examples of moral, political, and military virtues could be drawn. Their perfection was impossible to match, a reflection of how much humanity had declined since the heroic age that was theirs. Beginning in the fourteenth century, the humanist appreciation for ancient models once again focused attention on the ancient Greeks and Romans, with imitation of their actions—as it was hoped at the time—enabling the rise of a new golden age. The theme of illustrious men took hold in literature, historical writing, and poetry, as well as the visual arts. Renaissance Europe made it a preferred mode for understanding the past, and thereby shaping oneself to better conquer the future.

Source : Wikimedia Commons Workshop of Gentile da Fabriano, Hall of the Imperatores in the Palazzo Trinci in Foligno (circa 1410-1412). Source : Wikimedia Commons The Middle Ages did not forget Antiquity and its great men. The heroes of the Iliad and the Aeneid were as familiar to them as figures from the history of Republican Rome or ancient Greece. These illustrious men filled novels, historical literature, exemplary tales, and the songs of minstrels. They were often associated with figures from other repertoires such as the Bible and Arthurian legend. As part of an encyclopedic and moralist perspective, they were used as examples of the timeless virtues they represented.

  • Castles Along the Rhine; the Middle Rhine
    CASTLES ALONG THE RHINE; THE MIDDLE RHINE The Middle Rhine is between Mainz and Cologne (or Köln) but the section of maximum interest for river cruisers is between Koblenz and Rűdesheim. This section is where they keep some of Germany’s best kept medieval keeps - 20 of them, some ruins, some preserved, all surrounded by vineyards and with quaint medieval towns. Around every bend another stone edifice stands watch over the endless parade of freight barges and cruise boats. Each castle has its own spot in Germany’s medieval past. Your river cruise will spend at least an afternoon cruising this section with everyone on deck with a cup of bullion, tea, coffee or a beverage depending on the weather and the cruise director providing commentary on each castle/town you pass. The Rhine gorge castles are bracketed by Germanic / Prussian monuments. At the south end is Rűdesheim with the Niederwalddenkmal monument, commemorating the foundation of the German “Empire” after the Franco- Prussian War. The first stone was laid in 1871, by Wilhelm I. The 38m (123 ft) monument represents the union of all Germans. The central figure is a 10.5 m (34 ft) Germania holding the crown of the emperor in the right hand and in the left the imperial sword. Beneath Germania is a large relief that shows emperor Wilhelm I riding a horse with nobility, the army commanders and soldiers. On the left side of the monument is the peace statue and on the right is the war statue. At the north end in Koblenz is Deutsches Eck (German Corner) where the Mosel and Rhine Rivers meet.
