    The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adam R. Gustafson June 2011 © 2011 Adam R. Gustafson All Rights Reserved 2 This dissertation titled The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria by ADAM R. GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.

  • Die Jubiläumsgeschenke Des Landkreises Cham an Seinen Partnerlandkreis Bautzen Historische Ehemedaillen Zum 10., 15
    Reinhold Bucher Die Jubiläumsgeschenke des Landkreises Cham an seinen Partnerlandkreis Bautzen Historische Ehemedaillen zum 10., 15. und 20. Jahrestag Die Beziehung der Landkreise Cham und Bautzen reicht zurück bis in die Zeit der sog. „Wende“. Unter dem Betreff „Partnerschaften bayerischer Landkreise mit Kreisen in der DDR“ befragte der Bayerische Landkreistag1 die bayerischen Landräte über die bisherigen Initiativen und Maßnahmen. Dieser Überblick diente einem Gespräch, zu dem das Bayerische Staatsministerium des Innern am 16.02.1990 die kommunalen Spitzenverbände Bayerns geladen hatte. Zweck dieses Gesprächs sollte sein, die bisherigen Erfahrungen auszutauschen und das gemeinsame weitere Vorgehen zu erörtern. Der Landkreis Cham teilte dem Landkreisverband mit2, dass über Erfahrungen aus bisherigen Kontakten nicht berichtet werden könne, da derzeit keine konkrete Partnerschaft mit einem Kreis in der DDR bestehe und auch noch nicht entschieden sei, ob und mit welchem Kreis eine solche eingegangen werde. Der Landkreis stehe grundsätzlich einer Partnerschaft positiv gegenüber. Allerdings sei dabei zu bedenken, dass der Landkreis Cham auf einer Länge von 71 km an die CSSR angrenze und aus kulturellen und wirtschaftlichen Gründen eine Partnerschaft eventuell mit einem Kreis aus dem Nachbarland CSSR eingehe. Als Ergebnis der Umfrage informierte der Landkreisverband seine Mitglieder, dass zwischen zeitlich 41 Landkreise geantwortet hätten.3 Danach habe bisher als erster Landkreis in Bayern der Landkreis Neustadt a. d. Aisch-Bad Windsheim mit Urkunde vom 07.02.1990 eine konkrete Partnerschaftsvereinbarung mit dem Landkreis Schwarzenberg/Erzgebirge (DDR) abgeschlossen. Weiter habe die Umfrage ergeben, dass 24 Landkreise grundsätzlich bereit seien, nach den Wahlen am 14.03. bzw. 06.05.1990 sich um eine Partnerschaft mit Kreisen in der DDR zu bemühen.

  • 1 Infant Mortality Decline in Rural and Urban Bavaria
    Infant Mortality Decline in Rural and Urban Bavaria: Sanitary Improvement and Inequality in Bavaria and Munich, 1825-19101 Abstract A high infant mortality regime characterized much of the German Kingdom of Bavaria during the long nineteenth century. Conditions in Munich were reflective of this regime, with 40 deaths per 100 births not uncommon during the early 1860s. Infant mortality in all of Bavaria declined slowly in rural areas until World War I. In urban areas, the decline was much more impressive with the median falling by one-half up to 1913. The decline in Munich was even more dramatic. This paper examines the causes of infant mortality in both Bavaria as a whole and in Munich. The analysis of Bavaria examines district-level data for the period 1880 through 1910. The examination of Munich is for the period 1825-1910, which is a period of substantial economic and social change as well as sanitary reform. Patterns of land distribution, fertility and sanitary provision all play a role in accounting for the decline in infant mortality. The study uncovered growing discrepancies across social groups as decline set in Munich. John C. Brown Department of Economics Clark University Worcester, MA 01610 [email protected] Timothy W.

  • Eastern Bavaria
    Basic text Eastern Bavaria Culture Eastern Bavaria is still home to more castles than anywhere else in Germany: Some medieval castles remain only as ruins, whilst other castles such as Falkenstein Castle have withstood decline and are open to visitors. The expansive spruce forests in Eastern Bavaria have given way to the Bavarian Glass Road, as they supplied the wood and quartz sand –the key raw materials – for the very first glass foundries. Spanning some 250 kilometres, it is one of the most picturesque holiday routes in Germany. Those choosing to travel along the route will learn all about the 700-year tradition of glass production and glass as a form of art. The route, which begins in Neustadt an der Waldnaab and leads to Passau, features glass foundries, galleries and museums, all packed to the brim with interesting facts about the traditional handicraft. Some Eastern Bavarian companies are keeping the tradition alive to this day and export to countries ranging from the United Arab Emirates to the United States of America. The largest towns in Eastern Bavaria include Regensburg, Landshut and Passau. The city of Regensburg, which was first founded by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, has retained its medieval centre to this day. The Old Town of Regensburg together with Stadtamhof has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006. Landshut is the prototype of an old Bavarian town. Above all its town centre, which features gabled houses, decorative façades, oriels and arches, is one of the most beautiful squares to be found in the whole of Germany. The three-river town of Passau, which was built in the Italian baroque style, achieved early wealth thanks to its participation in the salt trade and was a place of border crossings due to its location on the border with Austria and just 30 kilometres from the Czech border.

  • Heft 01/2010 Liebe Leserinnen Und Leser, Der Frühere Reichtum Der Auen Und Ihrer Gewässer Ist Leider Vielerorts Verloren Gegangen
    Auenmagazin Magazin des Auenzentrums Neuburg a.d. Donau www.auenzentrum-neuburg.de Heft 01/2010 Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, der frühere Reichtum der Auen und ihrer Gewässer ist leider vielerorts verloren gegangen. Die Vielfalt an Formen und Struktu- ren, die überraschende Vielzahl von Tieren und Pflanzen ist in den Auen Mitteleuropas nur noch selten anzutreffen. Der Mensch nahm und nimmt die Aue und ihre Gewässer für sich auf unterschiedlichste Weise in Anspruch, er übernahm die Rolle des Ge- stalters, wie sie früher den Flüssen zufiel. Alle Bemühungen, heutzutage naturnahe Flussauen zu bewahren und wieder herzustellen, sind es deshalb nach Auffassung des Auenzentrums Neuburg a.d. Donau wert, in einem eigenen Magazin, einer breiten, interessierten Öffentlichkeit gezielt präsen- tiert zu werden. Anlässlich des Internationalen Donautages 2010 in Neuburg a.d. Donau werden in der ersten Ausgabe des Au- enmagazins drei Auenprojekte aus dem Einzugsgebiet der Donau vorgestellt, die sich besonders dem Erhalt und der Entwicklung naturnaher Lebensräume in der Aue widmen. Im Vordergrund stehen Lebensräume, deren Entwicklung durch landwirtschaftliche Bewirtschaftung in der Vergangenheit begünstigt wurden, deren Existenz heute jedoch durch intensivere Nutzungsformen in Gefahr geraten ist. Diese Projekte tragen damit dazu bei die Vielfalt der Auen- und Gewässerökosysteme im Donau- Einzugsgebiet zu schützen und zu entwickeln, Lebensräumen zu vernetzen und die biologische Vielfalt zu erhalten. Zukünftige Ausgaben des Auenmagazins werden sich weiteren Aspekten der Auen widmen, wie beispielsweise der Bedeutung der Auen bei Hochwasser oder der Landnutzung in Auen. Ich wünsche ihnen beim Lesen dieser ersten Ausgabe viele neue Er- kenntnisse und tiefgehende neue Eindrücke zu den vorgestellten Projekten. Siegfried Geißler, Auenzentrum.
