In this shop lay Brigitte Klesse’s catalogue of the world famous collection of Helfried Krug who was also living in Mülheim at that time. Whilst turning the pages of the catalogue, he got the first impression of the diversity of the art in glass. In the following years he assembled a library on glass, visited collections and exhibitions in Germany and overseas, subscribed to auction catalogues and acquired what he liked and could afford. As his cabinet of glass became ever more crowded Dr. Mühleib decided to become more discriminating. For him, one glass cabinet should be sufficient and it should not hold more than 60 to 70 pieces. Thus, when a new glass was purchased a “weaker” example was discarded. He particularly wanted to exhibit European glass from that of Venice to Biedermeier through single beautiful pieces. After a long time patiently waiting, glasses by Gondelach, Spiller and Schwanhardt found their way in to his glass cabinet, even when their condition was not always perfect. He is especially proud of his Dutch stipple-engraved glasses but would have loved to have collected more examples from the Liège glasshouses. The Biemann goblet with portraits of three children was his first entry at the higher price segment; collecting became nearly professional and was sometimes really exciting. This was especially the case with the Friederich Winter goblet and cover purchased from the sale of the Krug collection in 1982, the collection Dr. Horst Mühleib which inspired him to enter the collector’s world of European works of art. The lot was knocked down to Dr Horst Mühleib’s early fascination with works of art him at this famous sale. He gathered the funds with drew him towards glass collecting some forty years which to pay for it but the Bank Manager was not ago. At the end of the 1960’s, at the beginning of his always so happy that such a large amount of money career as a dentist, he and his wife were able to travel was paid for merely a glass goblet and cover. In fact, widely on numerous remote journeys to countries Dr. Mühleib recalls the manager’s jaw dropping when such as Pakistan and Afghanistan, where he began he denied that such an expensive piece was not to collect a diverse range of material. Some pieces true rock crystal. However, he still got his funds to arrived home in his suitcases, others by ship from continue. cities like Bangkok or Mumbai. His decision to return the glass to the marketplace However, he came to glass collecting not through was taken for a number of reasons not the least of his wide travels but through his visits to a small which is that his daughters have different interests. antiquities dealer in his home town of Mülheim, who For Dr. Mühleib, his collection is dynamic, changing had quite a lot of pieces on offer, especially from the its appearance through additions and removals; his Biedermeier period. Because the cutting tool could be collection was completed for himself. This catalogue compared to the drills with which he was working stands as a reminder of that personal journey in his job as a dentist, Dr. Muhleib was particularly through the history of European glass. 1 A Venetian or South German enamelled and gilt armorial goblet, early 16th century The flared conical bowl decorated with the arms of Haller von Hallerstein and Imhoff on one side and a pair of helmets with elaborate crests on the other, all between yellow scroll and pendant from three parallel concentric gilt bands below the rim, the base of the bowl with a gilt band above a high conical spreading foot with folded rim, 13.5cm high £15,000 - 20,000 €17,000 - 23,000 The crests are those of two Nuremberg patrician families, Haller von Hallerstein and Imhoff.

In the first decades of the sixteenth century, it was these companies, mostly from southern Germany and the Italian city-states, who dominated the European trade in Asian and American goods, whose capital funded Spanish and Portuguese royal policies overseas, and whose agents played crucial roles in establishing the Spanish and Portuguese empires and colonial trade.

  • The Hostages of the Northmen Economical Situation of the Province of Västergötland in the Early Middle Ages Will Follow
    Part VI: Hostages in the Areas of Confrontation Between the Swedes and the Geats The giving and taking of hostages that is described in the Westrogothic Law (Sw. Västgötalagen) took place in certain territo- ries in present day Sweden. Because this ritual occurred during the king’s so-called Eriksgata – the traditional journey of the elected Swedish king – it is necessary to understand the law in the light of the political situation in the provinces of the Swedes (Sw. svear) and the Geats (Sw. götar) in the 11th to 13th centuries. Two events that are reported in the Westrogothic Law are of par- ticular interest: (1) The established, law-given practice of hostage giving and taking at the river Junebäcken (‘the June Brook’) at today’s city of Jönköping, possibly during the king’s Eriksgata.1 (2) The slaying of King Ragnvald Ingesson Knaphövde at Karleby outside the present day city of Falköping around 1120–1130. Ragnvald was killed because he did not bring the hostage of the Geats to the Thing of all Geats (Sw. Alla götars ting), according to the appendix by the priest of Vidhem. These traditions of hostages can be the result of confrontations between different groupings (or political parties) in different provinces (Sw. landskap). To understand these events it is neces- sary to first scrutinize the sources – the manuscripts ofThe Elder Westrogothic Law. Then a presentation of the sociopolitical and How to cite this book chapter: Olsson, S. 2019. Hostages in the Areas of Confrontation Between the Swedes and the Geats. In: Olsson, S.

  • Johann Christian Schickhardt (Ca.1682-1762). a Contribution to His Biography and a Catalogue of His Works
    David Lasocki JOHANN CHRISTIAN SCHICKHARDT (ca. 1682-1762) A Contribution to his Biography and a Catalogue of his Works' The name of Johann Christian Schickhardt is known today almost solely to recorder players, and even to them is not well known. The circumstances of his life point to a journeyman composer and performer, not fortunate enough to gain a position at an im- portant court or in an important city. He constantly moved from one minor court or city to another dedicating numerous compositions to one prince or duke after another in the hope of being employed, and eventually he settled in the Netherlands, which was important for music publishing but not in the vanguard of musical composition or performance at that time. Yet Schickhardt was able to publish at least thirty sets of six or twelve compositions with the celebrated Amsterdam publisher Estienne Roger and his successor Le Cane (six of the sets being thought worthy ofpirated publication by Walsh & Hare in London) in an era in which composers ofthe statureofCorelli published only six sets,Vivaldi thirteen andJ.S. Bach eight.2This remarkable achievement alone makes him worthy ofinvestiga- tion. Who, then, was Schickhardt?What were the circumstances of his life? W\Xhatcom- positions did he write and what were they like?How was he able to publish so many com- positions? These are the questions I shall try to answer in this article. When I startedto researchSchickhardt's life, I discovered that the reference books con- tained only three major statements about him: that he was born in Braunschweig; that he lived in Hamburg; and that he later had connections with Leiden, in which town he died in 1762.Because ofmaterial furnished by Schickhardt himself(on the title pages and in the letters ofdedication of his compositions) I have been able to confirm these statements and to establish much more about the general outline of his life.

  • Money in Sweden – from Gustav Vasa Until Today
    Money in Sweden – from Gustav Vasa until Today The sovereigns of the Scandinavian kingdoms began to mint "national" coins about 1000 AD. Initially, a significant coinage system could only develop in Denmark, however. In Sweden and Norway, the minting of coins was soon given up again. Sweden resumed coinage after the middle of the 12th century. The pennings (pennies) issued then were so thin and fragile that they could not have played a significant role in economy; notwithstanding over the following decades, they slowly but surely became objects of daily use even in northern Scandinavia. It took another century before the Swedish economy developed a need for multiple pennings. These so- called örtugar (singular: örtug) remained the major Swedish coins until the alliance with Denmark in the Kalmar Union in 1397. From then on, Swedish coins were minted in the name of the Danish kings. When Sweden became independent under Gustav I Vasa in 1523, a regular monetary system was developed. Gustav introduced the mark as currency and had the first øre and daler struck, modeled on the German thaler. 1 von 16 www.sunflower.ch Kingdom of Sweden, Gustav I Eriksson Vasa (1523-1560), Daler 1534 Denomination: Daler Mint Authority: King Gustav Eriksson Vasa of Sweden Mint: Stockholm Year of Issue: 1534 Weight (g): 29 Diameter (mm): 43.0 Material: Silver Owner: Schweizerisches Landesmuseum With Gustav I Eriksson's ascendance to the Swedish throne in 1523 began a new era in Swedish history.

  • News Release / KARL
    Icons of Europe News release, Brussels, 14 September 2018 / På svenska Murder and ‘fake history’ revealed by new Charles XII investigation Ahead of the 300th anniversary of Charles XII of Sweden’s death near the Fredriksten fortress in Norway on 30 November 1718, the new book KARL XII: Kungamord (Regicide) reveals that he was murdered by his German brother in-law, Sweden’s commander-in-chief Frederick of Hesse (later Frederick I of Sweden), with the support of foreign powers. “Charles was shot by a German-manned cannon battery targeted in advance at the place where he would stand to launch a triple attack against the fortress”, says the author Cecilia Nordenkull. “His corpse was moved to a trench and he was declared shot there.” According to the book, Frederick I was even behind gross slandering of Charles’s legacy. He misrepresented him as an aggressive and revengeful warrior king, who had wanted to march to Moscow. But Charles was in reality a great visionary, and his ‘Russian campaign’ aimed at building a waterway to the Black Sea for the export of raw materials to Mediterranean countries. His ‘Norwegian campaign’ also had a different objective than conquering Norway. The slander worsened in the 19th century, when the House of Hesse manipulated Swedenborg’s texts and added grotesque fabrications by the Grimm brothers about Charles. The falsehoods were picked up by the Swedish historian Anders Fryxell and propagated during the so-called Strindberg feud. They continue to be cited uncritically today by the Swedish cultural elite. “This is a historical meltdown that Sweden must get to grips with”, says Cecilia Nordenkull.
