At the beginning of the 16th century, Emperor Maximilian I. made the city at the centre of the north-south and east-west axis his residence and by doing so created the conditions for a thriving economic and cultural life. Tradespeople appreciated the ideal location of Innsbruck and used Brenner as the lowest Alpine pass. Connections to important transport routes established the basis for Innsbruck’s rise as a centre of business, trade, conventions and tourism. The historical names of the city, »Oenipons« and »Anspruggen« make it clear that bridges are a part of the past and future of the Tyrolean capital. The city’s people and business owners knew how to use the favourable topographical and scenic conditions to their advantage and make Innsbruck a flourishing centre. Milestones such as the opening of the university, the connection to the railroad, and the opening of the airport have supported this development.

  • Baroque Architecture in the Former Habsburg Residences of Graz and Innsbruck
    EMBODIMENTS OF POWER? Baroque Architecture in the Former Habsburg Residences of Graz and Innsbruck Mark Hengerer Introduction Having overcome the political, religious, and economic crisis of the Thirty Years' War, princes in central Europe started to reconstruct their palaces and build towns as monuments of power. Baroque residences such as Karlsruhe combine the princely palace with the city, and even the territory, and were considered para­ digms of rule in the age of absolutism.' In Austrian Vienna, both the nobility and the imperial family undertook reshaping the city as a baroque residence only after the second Ottoman siege in 1683. Despite the Reichsstif of Emperor Karl VI, the baroque parts of the Viennese Hofburg and the baroque summer residence of Sch6nbrunn were executed as the style itself was on the wane, and were still incomplete in the Enlightenment period.2 It may be stated, then, that the com­ plex symbolic setting of baroque Viennese architecture reveals the complex power relations between the House of Habsburg and the nobility, who together formed a SOft of "diarchy," so that the Habsburgs did not exercise absolutist rule. 3 Ad­ ditionally, it cannot be overlooked that the lower nobility and burghers, though hardly politically influential, imitated the new style, which was of course by no means protected by any sort of copyright.4 For all these reasons, reading baroque cities as embodiments of powers is prob­ lematic. Such a project is faced with a phenomenon situated between complex actual power relations and a more or less learned discourse on princely power and 10 architecture (which was part of the art realm as well), and princes, noblemen, and citizens inspired to build in the baroque style.

The singer’s success prompted jewellers to produce a bracelet charm representing the artist in the costume pertaining to her role. The jewel was an immediate success. The mascot, which, in its Provencal form, was thought to bring good or bad luck, thus joined the category of lucky charms”1. The first Olympic mascot – which was not official – was named “Schuss” and was created for the Olympic Winter Games Grenoble 1968. A little man on skis, half-way between an object and a person, it was the first manifestation of a long line of mascots which would not stop. It was not until the Olympic Summer Games Munich 1972 that the first official Olympic mascot was created. Since then, mascots have become the most popular and memorable ambassadors of the Olympic Games.

  • Luxembourg Report Klaus Schneider, Wolfgang Lorig
    Luxembourg Report Klaus Schneider, Wolfgang Lorig, Nils C. Bandelow (Coordinator) m o c . a i l o t o F – Sustainable Governance g i n n a v Indicators 2016 o j © Sustainable Governance SGI Indicators SGI 2016 | 2 Luxembourg Report Executive Summary Luxembourg’s economy weathered the financial crisis quite well, and is continuing to show growth. The country experienced real GDP growth of 4.8% in 2015, which is higher than the euro-area average. This was up from - 0.8% in 2012. In 2015, a 2% increase in VAT rates was implemented to compensate for the decline in e-commerce revenues. Since 2012, the return to growth has been accompanied by a sustained workforce-expansion rate of approximately 2.5% per year. Luxembourg’s strong economic performance over the last three decades has given authorities the means to build an outstanding welfare system, with generous insurance plans, benefit programs and services, as seen within the recently expanded health care sector. Replacement-revenue levels exceed Scandinavian standards. The welfare state has consequently expanded since 1970, even as neighboring countries have cut benefits. In this sector, Luxembourg has not yet enacted a rigorous austerity policy, but has adopted some changes to the country’s pension regime and general employment rules. With an eye to ensuring the long-term sustainability of this system, the OECD and the European Commission have urged radical pension-system reform. However, poverty levels are quite high before social transfers. Luxembourg performs better after transfers; however, Scandinavian countries demonstrate a more egalitarian post-social-transfer performance in terms of Gini index scores despite Luxembourg’s strong welfare system.
