    Urbanities, Vol. 3 · No 2 · November 2013 © 2013 Urbanities The Exhibition of Communist Objects and Symbols in Berlin’s Urban Landscape as Alternative Narratives of the Communist Past Marie Hocquet (Centre Max Weber, Université Jean Monnet - Saint-Étienne) [email protected] The objective of this article is to investigate the different approaches at play in the material and symbolic production of the urban space through the study of the transformations of the East-Berlin urban landscape since the German reunification. I will show how the official accounts of the ex-GDR have crystallised in the Berlin urban space through the construction of a negative heritage. I will then focus on how the increase in historic tourism in the capital has contributed to the emergence of legible micro-accounts related to the local communist past in the urban space that compete with the official interpretations of this past. Key words: Berlin, symbolism, communism, heritage Introduction Urban space can be considered as a privileged place where one can observe the work of self- definition undertaken by societies. This is because human beings take their place in a physical environment by materialising their being-in-the-world. The urban landscape is defined by Mariusz Czepczyński as a ‘visible and communicative media through which thoughts, ideas and feelings, as well as powers and social constructions are represented in a space’ (Czepczyński 2010: 67). In the process outlined above, the narrativisation of the past and its inscription in the urban space is a phenomenon of primary importance. Our cities’ landscapes are linked to memory in a dynamic process which constantly urges societies to visualise themselves, to imagine the future and to represent themselves in it.

  • Das »Münchner Modell« – Vorbild Für Die Ganze Branche
    / Aircraft Noise and Aircraft Noise Abatement The environment at Munich Airport Living ideas – Connecting lives D2 Contents 4 Munich Airport in comparison 8 Causes of noise 11 Noise research 14 Air traffic basics 16 Planning flight procedures 18 Aircraft noise monitoring 22 Reducing aircraft noise 32 Legal requirements 35 Appendix 36 Glossary 38 Imprint D3 Foreword Air traffic is a major factor in societal development. It helps to secure Germany's economic place in the face of international competition and has immense signifi- cance in times of increasing globalization. It makes a substantial contribution not only to exports, but also to the needs of the population in terms of mobility and well-being. Air traffic also means noise, however. The subject of aircraft noise and complete protection for residents is a chief con- cern for Munich Airport in dialog with the neighborhood. We, together with the air- lines and air traffic control, have for many years been actively engaged in all areas of noise abatement in order to take account of the local residents’ need for rest. Aircraft noise must also be considered and assessed against traffic noise as a whole. The figures show air traffic as a whole to cause the least traffic noise by far, and no other mode of transport has achieved as much success in reducing noise through technological innovations over the past decades as air traffic. We want to find the right balance based on the legal situation between the in- terests of residents and the environment and the requirements of industry and people’s needs for mobility.

  • Airport Classification Based on Cargo Characteristics Robert
    Airport Classification based on Cargo Characteristics Robert Mayer* *Centre for Air Transport Management, Cranfield University, Cranfield, MK43 0TR, UK Tel.: +44 (0)1234 754971, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Air cargo has received little attention in airport research. In this paper, 114 airports are grouped according to their cargo business characteristics. Applying a hierarchical cluster analysis, the paper uses absolute (cargo tonnage) and relative measures (share of cargo work load units, of freighter movements and of international cargo) to establish the reliance of different airport types and groupings on air cargo. Eight distinct clusters are identified which show clear differences in the characteristics of the sample with regards to cargo activities. Geographic patterns of these airports are also revealed. For example, North American and European airports are characterised by features unique to these regions. Airports that are highly dependent on air cargo tend to benefit from a central location within networks of cargo airlines, while other airports with high cargo volumes generate these as a result of significant belly-capacity of passenger operations. Understanding the heterogeneity of cargo airports is important for future benchmarking studies in this field. 1 Introduction Airports fulfil a vital function in the air transport system by providing key infrastructure to the industry. Traditionally their (physical) output is measured by passenger numbers, aircraft movements and cargo tonnage (Graham, 2005) but also non-aeronautical service outputs (Oum and Yu, 2004). Airports Council International (ACI) identify five measures of airports’ core activities; namely, passengers, origination and destination passengers, aircraft movements, freight or mail loaded/unloaded, and destinations (nonstop) (ACI, 2012).

  • Architecture in Berlin. a Walk Through History Instructor
    Course title: Architecture in Berlin. A Walk through History Instructor: Dr. Gernot Weckherlin Email address: [email protected] Track: A-Track Language of instruction: English Contact hours: 48 (6 per day) ECTS-Credits: 5 Prerequisites: Students should be able to speak and read English at the upper intermediate level (B2) or higher. Course description This course gives a wide overview of the development of public and private architecture in Berlin during the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Following an introduction to the urban development and architectural history of the Modern era, the Neo-Classical period will be surveyed with special reference to the works of Schinkel. This will be followed by classes on architecture of the German Reich after 1871, which was characterized by both modern and conservative tendencies and the manifold activities during the time of the Weimar Republic in the 1920s such as the Housing Revolution. The architecture of the Nazi period will be examined, followed by the developments in East and West Berlin after the Second World War. The course concludes with a detailed review of the city’s more recent and current architectural profiles, including an analysis of the conflicts concerning the re-design of Berlin after the Cold War and the German reunification. Seven walking tours to historically significant buildings and sites are included (Unter den Linden, Gendarmenmarkt, New Housing Estates, Chancellory, Potsdamer Platz, Holocaust Memorial etc.). The course aims to offer a deeper understanding of the interdependence of Berlin’s architecture and the city’s social and political structures. It considers Berlin as a model for the highways and by-ways of a European capital in modern times.

  • When Architecture and Politics Meet
    Housing a Legislature: When Architecture and Politics Meet Russell L. Cope Introduction By their very nature parliamentary buildings are meant to attract notice; the grander the structure, the stronger the public and national interest and reaction to them. Parliamentary buildings represent tradition, stability and authority; they embody an image, or the commanding presence, of the state. They often evoke ideals of national identity, pride and what Ivor Indyk calls ‘the discourse of power’.1 In notable cases they may also come to incorporate aspects of national memory. Consequently, the destruction of a parliamentary building has an impact going beyond the destruction of most other public buildings. The burning of the Reichstag building in 1933 is an historical instance, with ominous consequences for the German State.2 Splendour and command, even majesty, are clearly projected in the grandest of parliamentary buildings, especially those of the Nineteenth Century in Europe and South America. Just as the Byzantine emperors aimed to awe and even overwhelm the barbarian embassies visiting their courts by the effects of architectural splendour and 1 Indyk, I. ‘The Semiotics of the New Parliament House’, in Parliament House, Canberra: a Building for the Nation, ed. by Haig Beck, pp. 42–47. Sydney, Collins, 1988. 2 Contrary to general belief, the Reichstag building was not destroyed in the 1933 fire. The chamber was destroyed, but other parts of the building were left unaffected and the very large library continued to operate as usual. A lot of manipulated publicity by the Nazis surrounded the event. Full details can be found in Gerhard Hahn’s work cited at footnote 27.
