  • The Eagle's Nest Is Located in Berchtesgaden
    media information… The Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus 1,834m) The so-called Eagle’s Nest teahouse (Kehlsteinhaus) was offered to Adolf Hitler on the occasion of his 50th birthday with the aim of using it for representation purposes for official guests. The challenging construction of the Eagle’s Nest, including the access road was completed in some 13 months’ time. The road leading up to the Eagle’s Nest upper bus terminal area is Germany’s highest and is considered a unique feat of engineering. The brass-line elevator that gives access to the summit is also a distinctive feature of this world-famous attraction. Today the Eagle’s Nest is open to the public and can be seen in its original form. Thanks to its many visitors, proceeds from this sightsseing attraction are used for charitable purposes. Location: The Eagle's Nest is located in Berchtesgaden. Special mountain buses depart every 25 min from Obersalzberg (Kehlsteinbusabfahrt). The journey takes about a quarter of an hour each way. From the parking area at the top, visitors walk 124m (406ft) through a tunnel to the original elevator. The lift transports up to 46 passengers at a time up into the Eagle's Nest building. Local Events and cultural highlights: Road and weather conditions permitting, the building and its road access are open from around mid-May through October. On clear days, visitors to the Eagle’s Nest are rewarded with spectacular views over the Berchtesgaden area, Lake Königssee and Salzburg, as well as with a grandiose mountain panorama of the majestic Berchtesgaden Alps.

Ich heiße Sie herzlich in der schönsten „Ecke“ Bayerns Willkommen. Jedes Mal wenn ich den atemberaubenden Ausblick auf die Berchtesgadener Alpen genieße, plane ich gedanklich schon das nächste Abenteuer: Sei es die Mountainbiketour, welche auf 1000 Metern Höhe direkt vor dem Hotel startet, der nächste Berggipfel der ruft, die Wanderung mit der Familie oder Action pur mit Canyoning, Rafting und noch vielem mehr. In diesem Activity Guide haben wir Ihnen verschiedene Aktivitäten für Klein und Groß zusammengestellt. Mein persönlicher Tipp: Mit dem Mountainbike den „alten“ Salzwandweg entlang – eine sportliche Herausforderung mit sagenhaftem Ausblick auf Watzmann und Co. ‚Servus‘ and ‚Grüß Gott‘ to the Kempinski Hotel Berchtesgaden! Welcome to the most beautiful little corner of Bavaria. Every time I stop to enjoy the breath-taking view of the Bavarian Alps, I already think of the next adventure ahead: like a mountain bike tour 1,000 metres above sea level starting directly from the hotel. The next mountain peak always beckons to be explored during a hike with the family or a pure adrenalin rush experience with canyoning, rafting and lots of other possibilities. In this Activity Guide, we have put together different activities for young and old. My personal favourite: a mountain bike ride along the former ‘Salzwandweg’ – it’s a sporty challenge and offers magnificent views of the Watzmann

Gómez-Mejiab https://doi.org/10.37625/abr.23.1.3-17 ABSTRACT Tournament theory posits that there are situations where winning matters a lot and, as a result, agent rewards are not proportional to performance. According to tournament theorists, the large pay differentials that exist between organizational levels are intended to motivate agents to exert greater effort in an attempt to win the prize. Although a large corpus of literature on tournaments has emerged over time, little is known about the social dynamics involved in tournaments. This article addresses this gap through a historical narrative concerning how Allied forces in World War II competed to capture Adolf Hitler’s famed Bavarian reception house, known to the world as the Eagle’s Nest.

During those years they undertook many adventures, including the first overseas tour Ambrose led – a 1980 journey from the Normandy D-Day beaches to the Rhine River. They fell in love with helping others experience this epic story and wanted to go back as often as they could. Ambrose and Mueller ran tours almost every other year for some 20 years, including one in 1994 commemorating the 50th anniversary of D-Day. It was during those years, as Mueller served as a Dean and Vice Chancellor at UNO, that he and Ambrose established the Eisenhower Center for American Studies, which facilitated the collection of more than 600 oral histories from D-Day veterans. This included interviews and other research materials provided by surviving members of the famed Easy Company.

  • History of Schloss Leopoldskron
    SALZBURG SEMINAR SCHLOSS LEOPOLDSKRON HISTORY OF SCHLOSS LEOPOLDSKRON Schloss Leopoldskron was commissioned as a family estate in 1736 by the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg, Leopold Anton Freiherr von Firmian (1679-1744), a member of a Tyrolean noble family whose lineage can be traced back to 1185. The Scottish Benedictine monk Bernhard Stuart is regarded as Leopoldskrons master builder. The stucco work on the ceilings done by Johann Kleber are described as “the best example of rococo stucco the land can offer”. Leopold Firmian was a great lover of science and the arts, but is most remembered for his role in the expulsion of more than 22,000 Protestants from the Archbishopric of Salzburg. Leopold’s harsh actions were noticed all over Europe and both Salzburg’s economy and the reputation of the Firmian family suffered severely as a result. The commission of Schloss Leopoldskron was, in part, an attempt by the Archbishop to rescue the social standing of his family. Schloss Leopoldskron and Lake, A special law made the property an inalienable Watercolor, pen and ink drawing, possession of the family. In May 1744, Leopold Late 19th Century. deeded the completed Schloss over to his nephew, Count Laktanz Firmian. After his death later in the same year, the Archbishop’s body was buried in Salzburg’s cathedral, but his heart remains below the Chapel of the Schloss, which, as is inscribed on the chapel floor, he “loved so dearly.” Count Laktanz, a collector of art and an artist himself, enriched Schloss Leopoldskron with the largest collection of paintings Salzburg had ever known, including works of artists such as Rembrandt, Rubens, Dürer, and Titian.
