  • Abuses Under Indictment at the Diet of Augsburg 1530 Jared Wicks, S.J
    ABUSES UNDER INDICTMENT AT THE DIET OF AUGSBURG 1530 JARED WICKS, S.J. Gregorian University, Rome HE MOST recent historical scholarship on the religious dimensions of Tthe Diet of Augsburg in 1530 has heightened our awareness and understanding of the momentous negotiations toward unity conducted at the Diet.1 Beginning August 16, 1530, Lutheran and Catholic represent­ atives worked energetically, and with some substantial successes, to overcome the divergence between the Augsburg Confession, which had been presented on June 25, and the Confutation which was read on behalf of Emperor Charles V on August 3. Negotiations on doctrine, especially on August 16-17, narrowed the differences on sin, justification, good works, and repentance, but from this point on the discussions became more difficult and an impasse was reached by August 21 which further exchanges only confirmed. The Emperor's draft recess of September 22 declared that the Lutheran confession had been refuted and that its signers had six months to consider acceptance of the articles proposed to them at the point of impasse in late August. Also, no further doctrinal innovations nor any more changes in religious practice were to be intro­ duced in their domains.2 When the adherents of the Reformation dis­ sented from this recess, it became unmistakably clear that the religious unity of the German Empire and of Western Christendom was on the way to dissolution. But why did it come to this? Why was Charles V so severely frustrated in realizing the aims set for the Diet in his conciliatory summons of January 21, 1530? The Diet was to be a forum for a respectful hearing of the views and positions of the estates and for considerations on those steps that would lead to agreement and unity in one church under Christ.3 1 The most recent stage of research began with Gerhard Müller, "Johann Eck und die Confessio Augustana/' Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Biblio­ theken 38 (1958) 205-42, and continued in works by Eugène Honèe and Vinzenz Pfhür, with further contributions of G.

As part of the overall regional development plan’s forward projection, Schwabach is planned as a regional centre together with the cities Nuremberg, Fürth and Erlangen (so-called multi-centres). The city is integrated into the European met- ropolitan region network. Schwabach is located on the most important west-east and north-south transport routes, which were important for business dealings and decisions in earlier times. The central location also plays an important part today with its superb transport links.

MA 1797-99); Sold to the Bernheimer Gallery in 1951; Christie's London, 14 December 1999, lot 48. Published Graf, Hugo. Katalog des Bayerischen Nationalmuseums. M. Rieger: Munich, 1896, pp. 72. Weniger, Matthias. Tilman Riemenschneider: Die Werke im Bayerischen Nationalmuseum, Munich, 2017, Fig. 7.16. Description These three masterfully carved panels originally belonged to a predella supporting a monumental altarpiece. Depicting the twelve disciples, the panels are attributed to Tilman Riemenschneider’s workshop or his close circle. They are reputed to come from a church in Abenberg and were housed at the Bavarian National Museum until 1951. The figures of disciples on the long panel are divided into two groups of three. They include Matthias with an axe, Paul with two swords, Peter with the keys, John with a chalice, Thomas with an axe, and James, the son of Alphaeus, with a fuller’s club. The first short panel includes Simon with the saw, Jude with the club, and Andrew with the saltire. The second short panel includes Bartholomew with a knife, Philip with a cross, and St James with the scallop shell on his hat. The figures wear contemporary 16th century dress. The reliefs are set in against a flat background crowned by ornate tracery above. The back of the longer panel supporting the figures appears to have been cut down.

  • Information on Studying in Nuremberg
    Master “International Business Studies” Information on studying at the FAU School of Business and Economics in Nuremberg Welcome! Dear Students, The decision to study abroad is a big step to take. It means a new language, a new culture, or- ganizing somewhere to live, and quite a few other everyday things. The teaching staff in the Masters program have all more or less experienced this, and know the sort of questions that students have, particularly at the outset of their Masters course. We have put together this bro- chure to help you and to make living and studying in Nuremberg easier for you. The School of Business and Economics (formerly WiSo) is one of the biggest and most distin- guished of its kind. Thirty-four chairs cater to over 5,000 students providing a wide range of ex- cellent degree programs of international academic renown. Testimony to this are not only former and current faculty members such as the former Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, the former Minister for Economic Affairs, Helmut Haussmann and the former Chairman of the Executive Board of Siemens, Heinrich von Pierer, but also our graduates who are in leading positions at Adidas, BMW, Leoni or Voith. Studying at the “elite school” WiSo is therefore the best prerequisite for a successful career in a global company according to a recent edition of the magazine Wirtschaftswoche. Nuremberg is not just a great choice of university. The city offers a great work-life balance. A historic place, Nuremberg, city of human rights, is home to people from many corners of the world.
