Ernest Augustus, 1771-1851, Duke of Cumberland, from 1837 King of Hanover. George V, 1819-1878, King of Hanover. 1866: End of the Kingdom of Hanover. 2 Welcome! Dear Readers, Dear Visitors following in the footsteps of the Guelphs, For centuries, the history of the former Kingdom of Hanover and of the present-day State of Lower Saxony was closely intertwined with the story of the Electors and Kings of Hanover. When George Louis, Elector of Hanover, ascended the British throne as King George I in 1714, this marked the beginning of the 123-year reign of the House of Guelph over Great Britain, where it was known as the House of Hanover. As a result, the Guelphs, the oldest royal dynasty in Europe, left a decisive imprint on European, American and world history. Numerous testimonies to the days when the region was ruled by the House of Guelph are still to be found in and around Hanover today.

  • 3D Acquisition, Modelling and Visualization of North German Castles by Digital Architectural Photogrammetry
    3D ACQUISITION, MODELLING AND VISUALIZATION OF NORTH GERMAN CASTLES BY DIGITAL ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY Th. Kersten, C. Acevedo Pardo, M. Lindstaedt Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Department of Geomatics, Hebebrandstrasse 1, 22297 Hamburg, Germany [t.kersten, c.acevedo, m.lindstaedt]@rzcn.haw-hamburg.de ISPRS WG V/2 Scene Modelling and Virtual Reality KEY WORDS: Architecture, CAD, Cultural Heritage, Digital, Modelling, Photogrammetry, Virtual Reality, Visualization ABSTRACT: In order to create virtual realities, three-dimensional scenes must be generated digitally. Frequently such scenes are freely invented in computer games and have little or nothing to do with reality. The Department of Geomatics of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg) records historical buildings and castles for detailed virtual reality applications, which can be used in visualizations, simulation and planning for tourism, navigation, facility management, architecture, cultural heritage and city planning. A condition of such modelling and visualization is a complete 3D acquisition of the objects, e.g. with geodetic measuring techniques, terrestrial laser scanners or with digital architectural photogrammetry. Three north German castles in Celle (Lower Saxony), Ahrensburg and Glücksburg (both in Schleswig-Holstein) were recorded photogrammetrically using a digital SLR Camera (Fujifilm FinePix S1 Pro) and later modelled and visualized. The data processing steps from data recording, determination of photo orientation, camera calibration

  • George I – Between Germany and Great Britain Catalogue of the German Talers of George I with Prices Auction Previews UK Coin Fairs
    4/19 COINEX London, 27th to 28th September 2019 George I – Between Germany and Great Britain Catalogue of the German Talers of George I with Prices Auction Previews UK Coin Fairs Editorial New Concepts The world changes. All the time. And everywhere. In some places it changes faster and in others slower, but the change is still apparent. We do all notice the change. But far too few coin dealers and institutions react to it. The reason is that change is unpleasant. One has to break new ground – without a map or a compass. And it only becomes apparent after some time whether a new approach will be successful or not. But there is no choice! Only tho- se who venture the journey have a chance to survive in a changed world. CoinsWeekly sees itself as a scout on this new land. We’re constantly looking for new concepts in order to meet the demands of a changing world. You’re holding one of these new concepts in your hands: the Special Issue of the online magazine CoinsWeekly. It looks like one of many printed magazines. But its concept is completely different. The magazine won’t be sent to the same circle of subscribers on a regular basis – instead, it reaches out to a constantly changing audience. The issues are distributed on important coin fairs of different countries in the res- pective national language: In 2019, 3,000 collectors in New York and Chicago, 5,000 in Munich, 1,500 in London and Birmingham and 3,000 collectors in Prague read a magazine made especially for them.

Indeed, between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, the position of royal mistress was almost as official as that of prime minister. She influenced the arts, charmed foreign ambassadors, and appointed ministers. Her rooms were often grander than those of the queen, her gowns more gorgeous, her jewels more dazzling.
