  • 4 the Structural Framework of Governance
    4 The structural framework of governance The last few decades of historical research have been focused on social interactions as a key issue in the research on the past. Medievalists have withdrawn to large extent from studying constitutional and legal matters, leaving such topics behind as some sort of anachronistic holdover of positivistic methodology. It seems, however, that there is no way for a study of political issues to abandon questions of the structural means of power – as defined in Chapter 1 – as an important element of the instrumentarium of particular players on the dynamic chessboard of the European High Middle Ages. These means, including changes and redefinitions of the legal status of the province under study, were an indispensable counterpart of the ad hoc political and personal measures related to in the previous chapter. 4.1 Marchia Milzania: the status of Milsko in the structure of the Ottonian and early Salian Empire The starting point for considerations about the formal status of Milsko as part of the Empire should be the assertion from Chapter 3 that between 1004–1007, Milsko for the first time became a territory administered by an individual appointed by the German king as comes, Herman I. Herman’s status as a royal administrator is illustrated in several sources. The most significant of these is a charter by Henry II from January 1, 1007 (DH II, no. 124) confirming the donation by the king of three ringforts (castella) in Milsko along with their districts (burgwards) to the Bishopric of Meissen.

  • The Japanese Palace in Dresden: a Highlight of European 18Th-Century
    都市と伝統的文化 The ‘Japanese Palace’ in Dresden: A Highlight of European 18th-century Craze for East-Asia. Cordula BISCHOFF Dresden, seat of government and capital of present-day federal state Saxony, now benefits more than any other German city from its past as a royal residence. Despite war-related destructions is the cityscape today shaped by art and architecture with a history of 500 years. There is possibly no other place in Germany where to find so many exceptional artworks concentrated in such a small area. This accumulation is a result of the continuosly increasing significance of the Dresden court and a gain in power of the Saxon Wettin dynasty. The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was a conglomeration of more than 350 large and tiny territories. The 50 to 100 leading imperial princes struggled in a constant competition to maintain their positions. １） In 1547 the Saxon Duke Moritz（1521-1553）was declared elector. Thus Saxony gained enormous political significance, as the seven, in 18th century nine electors, were the highest-ranking princes. They elected the Roman-German emperor and served as his innermost councils. The electors of Saxony and of the Palatinate were authorised to represent the emperor in times of vacancy. At the same time in 16th century Saxony rose due to its silver mining industry to one of the richest German territorial states. ２） In the second half of the 17th century the Saxon court even counted among the most important European courts. A peak of political power was reached under Frederick August（us）I.

WWW.MEISSEN.COM 1 AM-000076 TABLEWARE MEISSEN® COSMOPOLITAN STAATLICHE PORZELLAN-MANUFAKTUR MEISSEN GMBH 2 3 ABOUT US Meissen Porcelain Manufactory Meissen porcelain was born out of passion. Augustus the Strong (1670- 1733), Elector of Saxony, zealously pursued the so-called white gold after becoming struck with “Maladie de Porcelaine.” It was for him that alchemist Johann Friedrich Böttger (1682-1719) created the first European porcelain in 1708. At MEISSEN, this storied passion remains the fundament of the manufactory’s masterful works up to this day. More than 300 years of tra- dition and exquisite craftsmanship, unbounded imagination and an avowed dedication to modernity come together to create a timeless aesthetic that can be lived and experienced – every piece handmade in Germany. In 1710, Augustus the Strong decreed the founding of the Meissen porce- lain manufactory, making it the oldest in Europe. The signet of two crossed swords has been the unmistakable trademark of Meissen porcelain since 1722. The swords represent the uncompromising quality, unsurpassed craftsmanship and cultural heritage to which MEISSEN remains committed to this day: from the purest raw material sourced from the manufactory’s own kaolin mine, the world’s largest and oldest trove of moulds, models, patterns and decorations spanning centuries of artistic epochs, to the 10,000 proprietary paint formulas created in the on-site laboratory. And last but not least, they stand for the unsurpassed handicraft, experience and dedication of the manufactory’s artisans, lending every Meissen piece its one-of-a-kind beauty.

This outstanding Meissen collection includes two white porcelain models of a lion and lioness (estimate: £3,000,000-5,000,000) and a white model of a fox and hen (estimate: £200,000-300,000) commissioned for the Japanese Palace in Dresden together with a white element vase in the form of a ewer (£10,000-15,000). “The porcelain menagerie was an ambitious and unparalleled project in the history of ceramics and the magnificent size of these models is a testament to the skill of the Meissen factory,” said Rodney Woolley, Director and Head of European Ceramics. “The sheer exuberance of these examples bears witness to the outstanding modelling of Kirchner and Kändler. The opportunity to acquire these Meissen masterpieces from the direct descendants of Augustus the Strong is unique and we are thrilled to have been entrusted with their sale,” he continued. The works of art have been recently restituted to the heirs of the Royal House of Saxony, the Wettin family. Commenting on the Meissen masterpieces, a spokesperson for the Royal House of Saxony said: “The Wettin family has worked closely, and over many years with the authorities to achieve a successful outcome of the restitution of many works of art among which are these four Meissen porcelain objects, commissioned by our forebear Augustus the Strong.

  • IKONEN DER MODERNE Sachsen Mit Seiner 1000-Jähirgen
    SACHSEN – IKONEN DER MODERNE Sachsen mit seiner 1000-jähirgen Kulturgeschichte hat wie kaum ein anderes Bundesland das gesamte Architekturspektrum zu bieten – von Gotik bis modern-minimalistisch. Neben der Kunst und der Musik prägt dieser architektonische Facettenreichtum Sachsen als Kulturreiseziel Nummer 1 in Deutschland. In Sachsen wurden viele für das Bauhaus prägende Denkansätze vorweggenommen, und hier wirkten bekannte Architekten des neuen Bauens. So wurde in Dresden bereits ab 1909 mit den Deutschen Werkstätten für Handwerkskunst, als Mitgründer des Werkbundes, an einer Produktionsstätte neuen Typus gebaut – und gleichzeitig an der ersten Gartenstadt Deutschlands, Hellerau. Die Bauhaus-Epoche hat in Sachsen interessante und touristisch relevante Zeugnisse hervorgebracht. Das Josef Albers’ Glasfenster im Leipziger Grassimuseum, das Wandgemälde von Oskar Schlemmer im Zwenkauer Haus Rabe, die Versöhnungskirche in Leipzig, das Kaufhaus Schocken in Chemnitz von Erich Mendelsohn – heute Staatliches Museum für Archäologie - stehen dafür. Das Haus Schminke von Hans Scharoun in Löbau ist eines der weltweit vier herausragenden Beispiele der Stilrichtungen "Neues Bauen" und "International Style". Es fehlt in keinem Architektur-Lexikon und wird in einem Zug genannt mit dem Haus Tugendhat von Mies van der Rohe in Brünn/Brno (1931), der Villa Savoye von Le Corbusier in Poissy bei Paris (1928-29) und dem Haus Kaufmann " Fallingwater " in Mill Run, Pennsylvania (1935-39) von Frank Lloyd Wright genannt. Es steht im Übrigen nicht nur für Besichtigungen offen, sondern man darin auch übernachten. Zusammen mit dem Nieskyer Wachsmann-Haus ist es eine wichtige Station im Verbund TOPOMOMO (Topography of the modern Movement) – einem internationalen Verbund von herausragenden (Wohn)Gebäuden der Moderne. Zum „Jubiläum 100 Jahre Bauhaus“ wird das Bundesland mit vielfältigen Veranstaltungen und Ausstellungen vor allem das baukulturelle Erbe würdigen und an bestehende Präsentationen und kulturelle Schwerpunktthemen, etwa das Thema Industriekultur, anknüpfen.

  • Chemnitz - Is It a City of Industry Or a City of Art? Or Both?
    Chemnitz - is it a city of industry or a city of art? Or both? Report by Ingeborg Morgner We created interesting presentations about our city in the last weeks. It has been demonstrated, such as the textile machinery, the textile manufacturing and other industries like the automotive have shaped the face of our city. An interesting comparison with Manchester was also done. Norbert showed us in his presentation that our city is getting more and more an artistic face. The Robert- Schumann – Symphony – Orchestra has been developed into an important flagship for Chemnitz during last years. A lot of famous operas were staged on our opera house. First of all, I would say that the State Art Collection marks the face of our city more and more. This developed into an important cultural centre of our city in the last years under the direction of Mrs. Mössinger. The Art Collections hold more than 170,000 works of art distributed over four associated museums, the King Albert Museum on the Theatre Square, the Gunzenhauser Museum, the Schlossbergmuseum and the Henry van der Velde Museum. What can you see there? At first, I will speak about the King Albert Museum, where the most famous paintings are exhibited. The Chemnitz Art Gallery with it‟s about 70. 000 objects, dating from the 16th to the 21st century is located on the King Albert Museum. This Museum was built in 1909 at the Theatre Square and was designed by Richard Möbius. Since the restoration in 1993 it is one of the most modern museums in Saxony.
