Die Geschichte und Aktivitäten der Olmützer „Societas incognitorum eruditorum in terris Austriacis“ werden im Rahmen ihres Entstehungskontextes erklärt und gezeigt, wie sie in der deutschen bzw. europäischen Aufklärung verankert ist. Näher eingegangen wird auf den Aspekt der Treue zum Kaiserhaus, den die Olmützer Intellektuellen bzw. die Mitglieder der Gelehrtenge- sellschaft an den Tag legten und am Beispiel der „Theresiade“ von Scheyb illustriert.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Perhaps nowhere in European prehistory does the idea of clearly-defined cultural boundaries remain more current than in the initial Neolithic, where the southeast–north- west trend of the spread of farming crosses what is perceived as a sharp divide between the Balkans and central Europe. This corresponds to a distinction between the Vincˇa culture package, named for a classic site in Serbia, with its characteristic pottery assemblage and absence of longhouses, and the Linearbandkeramik (LBK), with equally diagnostic but different pottery, and its apparently culturally-diagnostic longhouses, extending in a more northerly belt through central Europe westward to the Dutch coast.

  • Enlightened and Jesuit Networks, and a New Node of Science
    Chapter 2 Metropolitan Lures: Enlightened and Jesuit Networks, and a New Node of Science 1 An Agenda for Astronomic Advance In January 1755, the Viennese court mathematician Johann Jakob (Giovanni Jacopo) Marinoni (1676–1755) passed away. Originally from Udine, Marinoni, whose contribution to the beginnings of astronomical observation activities in the Habsburg capital has already been mentioned briefly,1 was appointed in 1703, and from 1720 he also served as the second director of the Viennese Impe- rial and Royal Academy for Engineering (Wiener kaiserliche und königliche Ingenieurakademie), established in 1717 under the auspices of the Aulic War Council primarily to ensure the adequate training of military engineers.2 Dur- ing his more than five-decade career in Vienna, Marinoni also played leading roles in large-scale government-run projects, from modernizing and expand- ing the system of fortifications around the capital to the land survey of Lom- bardy (the so-called “Theresan cadaster”—in fact begun long before Maria Theresa’s accession).3 As a surveyor, he introduced new methods and instru- ments in the Habsburg lands; as an astronomer, he carried out observations (also popularized in broadsheets) and even assembled students to instruct in the small observatory in his home in central Vienna, equipped with instru- ments purchased from far and wide, and donated in his last will to the court. In 1745, Marinoni published a volume describing the observatory, its activities, and equipment in great detail. The book was dedicated to the empress, and recommended by its reviewers, Frölich and Franz, as a textbook.4 This was a formidable legacy in more sense than one.

  • A Symbol of Habsburg Military Power: the Slavonian General Command Palace in Osijek (1723)
    RIHA Journal 0245 | 8 June 2020 A Symbol of Habsburg Military Power: the Slavonian General Command Palace in Osijek (1723) Katarina Horvat-Levaj and Margareta Turkalj Podmanicki Abstract The Palace of the Slavonian General Command in Osijek was built in 1723–1724 for the needs of the administration of the Slavonian Military Frontier, formed after the Karlowitz Treaty (1699). In keeping with its preeminent purpose as the seat of the Imperial War Council representatives, the palace stands out with a richly diversified exterior accentuated by a portal with atlantes, and a complex interior organized around a three-aisled vestibule. This gave it an outstanding position in the context of kindred administrative buildings in the wider Central- European region, indicating that the origins of the design were in the Baroque architecture of Vienna. The project itself emerged from the circle of military architects engaged in work on the border fortress cities of the Habsburg Monarchy, whose fortification was supervised by Eugene of Savoy, as President of the Imperial War Council. Contents The Palace of the Slavonian General Command and the fortress city of Osijek Architectural characteristics of the Slavonian General Command Palace The design and construction of the Slavonian General Command Palace The origins of the project and the Central-European context of the Slavonian General Command Palace On vestibules with columns On portals with atlantes On the question of attribution The Palace of the Slavonian General Command and the fortress city of Osijek [1] The Palace of the Slavonian General Command in Osijek,1 today the seat of the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University, was built in the 1720s for the administration of the Slavonian Military Frontier.
