FOREWORD Dear Cyclists, Discovering Europe on a bicycle – the Rhine Cycle Route makes it possible. It runs from the Alps to a North Sea beach and on its way links Switzerland, France, Germany and the Netherlands. This guide will point the way. Within the framework of the EU-funded “Demarrage” project, the Rhine Cycle Route has been trans- formed into a top tourism product. For the first time, the whole course has been signposted from the source to the mouth. Simply follow the EuroVelo15 symbol. The Rhine Cycle Route is also the first long distance cycle path to be certified in accordance with a new European standard. Testers belonging to the German ADFC cyclists organisation and the European Cyclists Federation have examined the whole course and evaluated it in accordance with a variety of criteria. This guide is another result of the European cooperation along the Rhine Cycle Route. We have broken up the 1233-kilometre course up into 13 sections and put together cycle-friendly accom- modation, bike stations, tourist information and sightseeing attractions – the basic package for an unforgettable cycle touring holiday.

  • BAROQUE-ERA ROSE CUTS of COLORED STONES: HIGHLIGHTS from the SECOND HALF of the SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Karl Schmetzer
    FEATURE ARTICLES BAROQUE-ERA ROSE CUTS OF COLORED STONES: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE SECOND HALF OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Karl Schmetzer Colored stones from the Baroque era fashioned as rose cuts have received little attention to date. Even the colored stone rose cuts incorporated in notable collections, such as the Cheapside Hoard discovered in London in 1912, have not been studied in detail, and only very limited further examples are depicted and described in gemological texts. Re- cent work with five objects of liturgical insignia and electoral regalia belonging originally to the archbishops and prince- electors of Trier and Cologne has thus offered an opportunity to augment available information. All of these pieces date to the second half of the seventeenth century. Although the table cuts from that era were still quite simple, con- sisting of an upper flat table facet surrounded by one or two rows of step-cut facets, the rose cuts were enormously varied and complex while still generally following a symmetrical pattern in the facet arrangement. The goal of the study was to contribute to filling a gap in the historical information on gem cuts by offering an overview of the many rose cuts used for colored stones in the second half of the seventeenth century. ose cuts encompass a variety of faceting roses (6 + 12 facets), and full-Dutch roses (6 + 18 arrangements, all of which lack a flat table (fig- facets), respectively (Eppler and Eppler, 1934; Stran- Rure 1). In contrast to the considerable literature ner, 1953). on the use of rose cuts in diamonds, there has been a Visual evidence of the foregoing historical pro- dearth of information regarding their use in colored gression in diamond cuts is readily found in refer- stones.

  • MAPS Koblenz
    Fort Asterstein 1817 – 2017 and beyond Towards a future of an old military property An Integrated Action Plan Foreword How did we came to this project? In 2015, our Twin-City Varazdin in Croatia send us an invitation to join a EU Project about ‘disarmed cities’ which would be executed within the next 4 years, with partners all over Europe. We payed attention to the offer, because in Koblenz we have a lot of old barracks in urban quarters, which urgently need a qualified development. In addition, getting to know how other authorities found solutions to this great task, respectively to develop together with others new ideas we had never thought of, would be a great chance. What did we had to offer? We already had a small experience in the field of conversion with two former barracks (one became the new site for the University of Koblenz) and could tell others what we found out about the process of conversion. After intense discussions we decided to bring the old military heritage of the Fort Asterstein, started to be built in 1817, into the project ‘M.A.P.S.’ and were lucky that we could join it in the second phase. For the city as a whole, for the heritage and the venue itself the M.A.P.S. project is a great chance: building up new awareness, strengthening the public participation and making great steps to a new use of the old Prussian barracks. Within the report, you will find the names of many participants in the project “Fort Asterstein”.
