A central topic of the 21.century is the sustainable sourcing of raw materials for energy and materials beyond fossil fuel – even more so in times of the climate contract of Paris or the German “Energiewende”.The concept of bioeconomy as a sustainable economic system based on biological resources and in which renewable raw materials play a decisive role, offers solu- tions. That is why Straubing in Lower Bavaria brands as “Region of Renewable Raw Materials”. The Free State of Bavaria clusters its activities in the areas of research, education, utilization and market- ing around the topic of biomass in Straubing. The region is headed to become a best practice region within the fast-growing European bioeconomy. The raw materials needed are just a stone‘s throw away. What cannot be harvested off the fertile lower Bavarian “Gäuboden” area and the wood-rich “Bavarian Forest”, can be provided via Straubing‘s high-performing Danube port, mainly from the macroregion Danube area.

The premium accounts for more than 10% and persists within narrowly defined jobs as well as after controlling for workplace characteristics. In a next step, we provide evidence on substantial regional variation in the share of jobs that can be done from home in Germany. Our analysis reveals a strong, positive relation between the share of jobs with working from home opportunities and the mean worker income in a district. Assuming that jobs with the opportunity of remote work are more crisis proof, our results suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic might affect poorer regions to a greater extent.

    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 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.

  • Successful Small-Scale Household Relocation After a Millennial Flood Event in Simbach, Germany 2016
    water Article Successful Small-Scale Household Relocation after a Millennial Flood Event in Simbach, Germany 2016 Barbara Mayr *, Thomas Thaler and Johannes Hübl Institute of Mountain Risk Engineering, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Gregor-Mendel-Straße 33, 1180 Vienna, Austria; [email protected] (T.T.); [email protected] (J.H.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 October 2019; Accepted: 28 December 2019; Published: 4 January 2020 Abstract: International and national laws promote stakeholder collaboration and the inclusion of the community in flood risk management (FRM). Currently, relocation as a mitigation strategy against river floods in Central Europe is rarely applied. FRM needs sufficient preparation and engagement for successful implementation of household relocation. This case study deals with the extreme flood event in June 2016 at the Simbach torrent in Bavaria (Germany). The focus lies on the planning process of structural flood defense measures and the small-scale relocation of 11 households. The adaptive planning process started right after the damaging event and was executed in collaboration with authorities and stakeholders of various levels and disciplines while at the same time including the local citizens. Residents were informed early, and personal communication, as well as trust in actors, enhanced the acceptance of decisions. Although technical knowledge was shared and concerns discussed, resident participation in the planning process was restricted. However, the given pre-conditions were found beneficial. In addition, a compensation payment contributed to a successful process. Thus, the study illustrates a positive image of the implementation of the alleviation scheme. Furthermore, preliminary planning activities and precautionary behavior (e.g., natural hazard insurance) were noted as significant factors to enable effective integrated flood risk management (IFRM).

    ROOTED IN THE DARK OF THE EARTH: BAVARIA’S PEASANT-FARMERS AND THE PROFIT OF A MANUFACTURED PARADISE by MICHAEL F. HOWELL (Under the Direction of John H. Morrow, Jr.) ABSTRACT Pre-modern, agrarian communities typified Bavaria until the late-19th century. Technological innovations, the railroad being perhaps the most important, offered new possibilities for a people who had for generations identified themselves in part through their local communities and also by their labor and status as independent peasant-farmers. These exciting changes, however, increasingly undermined traditional identities with self and community through agricultural labor. In other words, by changing how or what they farmed to increasingly meet the needs of urban markets, Bavarian peasant-farmers also changed the way that they viewed the land and ultimately, how they viewed themselves ― and one another. Nineteenth- century Bavarian peasant-farmers and their changing relationship with urban markets therefore serve as a case study for the earth-shattering dangers that possibly follow when modern societies (and individuals) lose their sense of community by sacrificing their relationship with the land.

    Facts and figures. President's Report A University for Europe TOP 20 TOP 20% Now and in the Young University University Future Worldwide Worldwide 2018–19 Foreword by the President Dear friends, sponsors and members of the University of Passau, We can look back on a very successful academic year 2018–19 for the University of Passau, which was marked by the renewal of the target agreements with the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts, which were signed by all Bavarian uni- versities at Munich's Pinakothek der Moderne in July 2019. This provides a reliable basis for the further development of the University until 2022. The 'Hightech Agenda Bayern', which confirms the strategic decisions we have taken together, also contributes to this. The University of Passau stands to benefit from the Bavarian technology initiative in three ways: first, by the soon-to-be-constructed Passau International Centre for Schol- arship and Science at the Spitzberg site; second, by several hundred additional study places in computer science; third, by the inauguration of the medical campus project group. In addition, we will participate in the competition for 50 additional professorships in artificial intelligence (AI) for Bavarian universities. In all, we can be proud of our achievements in research and teaching, which have become even more visible internationally and are increasingly recognised, as confirmed by the THE World University Ranking and the THE Young Universities Ranking as well as numerous prizes and honours for our members and their appointment or election to important academic and political bodies. The promotion of excellent research as well as the creation of excellent working conditions – especially for students and early career researchers – remains our maxim.

    Facts and figures. President’s Report 250 best universities worldwide 40 Years University A University of Passau for Europe Now and in the Future 2017–18 Foreword from the President Dear friends, sponsors and members of the University of Passau, The academic year 2017–18 was all about our University’s 40th anniversary, which we celebrated with a big weekend festival in June 2018 and at the Dies academicus, on 9 November, as the last festivity of our anniversary year. Forty years ago, in 1978, the University started out with a few dozen staff and just a few hundred students, sent here, to the border region be- tween Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany, by the central university admissions body for Germany. By the year 2025, we expect to grow to approximately 15,000 students and 1,500 staff in academic and support functions. We are preparing for this by positioning the University of Passau accordingly in terms of the disciplines represented here and by implementing suitable policies in the areas of finance, organisational structure, personnel – and not least by expanding the University’s physical space capacities. Having received, in September 2018, the full approval of the competent state ministries for our application for an extension of the campus onto to the former premises of the Lowenbrau brewery, we will now expand our built environment at the same time as we grow figuratively into a world-class university. On the Spitzberg site, the ‘Passau International Centre of Science and Research’ will be established, bringing the University as a centre of excellent, competitive research and strong, innovative teaching closer to the city centre of Passau and creating a gateway to Passau as a city of science.

  • Bavaria the Bavarians Emerged in a Region North of the Alps, Originally Inhabited by the Celts, Which Had Been Part of the Roman Provinces of Rhaetia and Noricum
    Bavaria The Bavarians emerged in a region north of the Alps, originally inhabited by the Celts, which had been part of the Roman provinces of Rhaetia and Noricum. The Bavarians spoke Old High German but, unlike other Germanic groups, did not migrate from elsewhere. Rather, they seem to have coalesced out of other groups left behind by Roman withdrawal late in the 5th century AD. These peoples may have included Marcomanni, Thuringians, Goths, Rugians, Heruli, and some remaining Romans. The name "Bavarian" ("Baiuvari") means "Men of Baia" which may indicate Bohemia, the homeland of the Marcomanni. They first appear in written sources circa 520. Saint Boniface completed the people's conversion to Christianity in the early 8th century. Bavaria was, for the most part, unaffected by the Protestant Reformation, and even today, most of it is strongly Roman Catholic. From about 550 to 788, the house of Agilolfing ruled the duchy of Bavaria, ending with Tassilo III who was deposed by Charlemagne. Three early dukes are named in Frankish sources: Garibald I may have been appointed to the office by the Merovingian kings and married the Lombard princess Walderada when the church forbade her to King Chlothar I in 555. Their daughter, Theodelinde, became Queen of the Lombards in northern Italy and Garibald was forced to flee to her when he fell out with his Frankish over- lords. Garibald's successor, Tassilo I, tried unsuccessfully to hold the eastern frontier against the expansion of Slavs and Avars around 600. Tassilo's son Garibald II seems to have achieved a balance of power between 610 and 616.
