  • Købmændene I Sakskøbing Og Maribo I 1700-Årene
    Købmændene i Sakskøbing og Maribo i 1700-årene - deres økonomiske og sociale placering A F GREGERS HANSEN Lokalt afgrænsede artikler optages normalt ikke i Fortid og Nutid, men denne regel har dog været brudt, når der var tale om artik­ ler med et bredt perspektiv. Redaktionen har derfor gerne villet bringe fhv. kommunaldirektør, cand. polit. Gregers Hansens studie over købmænd i Sakskøbing og Maribo. Gennem grundige analy­ ser af især skatteligninger, brandtaxationer, skifter og obligations­ protokoller er det lykkedes at kaste et skarpt lys over økonomiske forhold i 1700-årene, hvor byernes købmænd skiller sig ud som en altdominerende gruppe. Købmændenes afstamning og slægtsmilieu undersøges, og det ses, at de i utrolig høj grad er indbyrdes beslæg­ tede - bilagets 11 slægtstavler viser hvorledes. Det er stort set en enkelt »familie«, der har været økonomisk bestemmende i Saks­ købing og Maribo i 1700-tallet. Man må håbe der vil blive foreta­ get tilsvarende undersøgelser oni andre byer. Såvel indberetninger af 1735 fra lollandske byfogeder1 som en klage af 1762 fra lollandske købmænd2 fortæller om købmændenes økonomiske van­ skeligheder som følge af at godsejere og deres funktionærer tiltog sig en del af den næring, som efter lov og ret tilkom købmændene. Det synes vel godt­ gjort, at godsejere og forvaltere trængte ind på købmændenes gebet, men hvorledes var købmændene stillet sammenlignet med deres bysbørn? Uden at tegne noget lyst billede af købmændenes forhold viser byfo­ gedindberetningerne, at resten af befolkningen var ringere stillet. Men noget mål på forskellen anføres ikke. Den undersøgelse, som her skal beskrives, vil belyse denne forskel.23. I afsnit I gennemgås Sakskøbings befolkning på grundlag af skattelister, brandtaksationer og skifter, afsnit II beretter tilsvarende om Maribo, afsnit III beskriver realkreditten i begge byer og afsnit IV handler om købmænde­ nes familieforbindelser.

    NNYSTED KKRØNIKEN 22000044 Foto: Lilli Nielsen. Fortalt af: John Voigt Udgivet af: NYSTED KOMMUNE Vejledende udsalgspris: kr. F O R O R D: Du sidder nu med NYSTED KRØNIKEN 2004, som er udgivet af NYSTED KOMMUNE, beskrevet og redigeret af John Voigt. Starten på NYSTED KRØNIKEN tog sin begyndelse i juli måned 1901, da dr. med og byrådsmedlem Carl Adam Hansen tog initiativ til at nedfælde en beskrivelse af Nysted. Dette skrift var begyndelsen på NYSTED KRØNIKEN, og for at bringe denne tradition ud til en større kreds af Nysted borgere og andre interessenter – har Nysted kommune taget initiativ til en videreførelse af denne. Carl Adam Hansens målsætninger om NYSTED KRØNIKEN er forsøgt fastholdt, nemlig: Den skal give et så fyldigt billede som muligt af livet i Nysted gennem årets gang, meddele nøjagtige og pålidelige oplysninger om dets forskellige fremtoninger og bevare mindet om mænd og kvinder, der have levet og virket i vort lille samfund, og skulle således afkræfte gyldigheden af de bekendte ord i visen: "Om hundred År er alting glemt". Man har bestræbt sig på, at give fremstillingen et objektivt præg og har søgt at holde sig til forskriften: " De mortnis nil nisi bene" efterrettelig, ligesom man også har afholdt sig fra kritik over de levende. Redaktøren har dog med velberådt hu hist og her ladet sin stemning og mening skinne igennem, så stilen på steder får en lidt mere subjektiv farvetone. Derved skulle læsningen blive mindre kedelig og trættende. Beskrivelsen er suppleret med billeder/fotografier af mænd og kvinder - både nulevende og afdøde - samt flere begivenheder, der er forekommet i årets løb.

  • A Brief History of Medieval Monasticism in Denmark (With Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia)
    religions Article A Brief History of Medieval Monasticism in Denmark (with Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia) Johnny Grandjean Gøgsig Jakobsen Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark; [email protected] Abstract: Monasticism was introduced to Denmark in the 11th century. Throughout the following five centuries, around 140 monastic houses (depending on how to count them) were established within the Kingdom of Denmark, the Duchy of Schleswig, the Principality of Rügen and the Duchy of Estonia. These houses represented twelve different monastic orders. While some houses were only short lived and others abandoned more or less voluntarily after some generations, the bulk of monastic institutions within Denmark and its related provinces was dissolved as part of the Lutheran Reformation from 1525 to 1537. This chapter provides an introduction to medieval monasticism in Denmark, Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia through presentations of each of the involved orders and their history within the Danish realm. In addition, two subchapters focus on the early introduction of monasticism to the region as well as on the dissolution at the time of the Reformation. Along with the historical presentations themselves, the main and most recent scholarly works on the individual orders and matters are listed. Keywords: monasticism; middle ages; Denmark Citation: Jakobsen, Johnny Grandjean Gøgsig. 2021. A Brief For half a millennium, monasticism was a very important feature in Denmark. From History of Medieval Monasticism in around the middle of the 11th century, when the first monastic-like institutions were Denmark (with Schleswig, Rügen and introduced, to the middle of the 16th century, when the last monasteries were dissolved Estonia).

  • Guldborgsund Kommune Kommuneplan 2019 - 2031
    GULDBORGSUND KOMMUNE KOMMUNEPLAN 2019 - 2031 For-høringssvar til fornyelse af byer og havne Nykøbing: Overordnet: Nykøbing er en havneby, og der er et udbredt ønske om, at der skal være faciliteter, der lægger op til, at der skal være et liv på sundet og på havnen. Dvs. mindre erhvervshavn og mere turisthavn, så opfordringen er, at sejlerlivet skal styrkes ved at åbne havnen op for lystsejlere, lystfiskeri, badere og andre aktiviteter. Et fornyet havnemiljø kan tiltrække turister, og i den anledning vil det være godt at styrke sammenhængskraften mellem bymidte og havnen, så de to miljøer gensidigt kan påvirke hinanden positivt. Ud over aktiviteter skal der bl.a. iværksættes cafeer, p-pladser, stisystemer, borde og bænke, for at folk skal have lyst til at opholde sig ved/på havnen. Der er desuden interesse for, at der bliver reetableret en gang-og cykelbro fra havnen til Sundby. Byens historie er vigtig at kommunikere, både i forhold til informationstavler og når der skal laves byfornyelse. De gamle gader og stræder skal i højere grad bruges og motivere til ophold i bl.a. gårdmiljøer og til byvandringer. Bygninger, der er i for ringe til istandsættelse, skal rives ned, og nybyggeri skal ske i respekt for det bestående samt udsigten til havnen og sundet. Torvet mangler aktiviteter og skal indbyde mere til ophold ved bl.a. at lave det som et grønt og handicapvenligt område. Som samlings- og opholdssted skal der gøres noget for bl.a. torvedag, caféliv og kunstneriske aktiviteter. Havn: - Skab aktiviteter i sundet o Kajakpolo. Et fleksibelt baneanlæg, der kan ligge indendørs såvel som udendørs, og som kan flyttes i forhold til aktiviteter i havnen (NB: der er et konkret forslag til placering ved Sophieholmen, Codans Plads).

    Final report on the effect of Nysted Offshore Wind Farm on harbour porpoises Annual report 2005 Technical report to Energi E2 A/S Jakob Tougaard1, Jacob Carstensen2, Nikolaj Ilsted Bech1, Jonas Teilmann1 National Environmental Research Institute (NERI) 1Department of Arctic Environment 2Department of Marine Ecology Ministry of the Environment Roskilde, Denmark July 2006 2 Foreword This report presents results from the monitoring program on harbour porpoises conducted at Nysted Offshore Wind Farm during the period 2001-2005. The study was commissioned by Energy E2 A/S and financed by the Danish Energy Authority (Energistyrelsen). This is the annual report for monitoring in 2005 and at the same time the final report of the monitoring program of harbour porpoises at Nysted. All collected data is thus included in the analysis and this report thus suc- ceeds and replaces annual reports of the previous years. However, some of the technical details and especially the development and justification of the experimental methods and analyses used may require that previous reports are consulted.
