Four research groups combined their expertise to test and develop new methodologies, develop a monitoring strategy and investigate the current environmental state of a munitions dumping ground. The detailed objectives were to: • better understand the current state of munitions contamination in the munitions dumping ground at Kolberger Heide • apply or newly develop state-of-the-art monitoring technologies for: a) highly detailed mapping of munitions on the seafloor with hydroacoustic and optical means b) the chemical analyses of munitions contaminants in water and sediments c) the uptake of munitions contaminants into organisms and the establishment of toxic thresholds • setup and advance an existing oceanographic model of the Baltic Sea to extrapolate the distribution of munitions contamination • verify the validity of assumptions and modelling during sampling campaigns in Kiel Bay and the entire German Baltic Sea Four research groups worked on these objectives. The group of Prof. Greinert (GEOMAR) applied multibeam mapping technologies, visual investigations by towed camera, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) and divers as well as sediment sampling to map and classify munition and the specific habitat within the different study areas. These maps served as base information to guide water sampling and in-situ experiments for TNT

    Eigenwillige Feuersteinartefakte als Zeugen einer Flintensteinherstellung von der Ostseeküste des Dänischen Wohlds, Kr. Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein Volker Arnold & Renate Jeske Zusammenfassung – Umfangreiche Aufsammlungen von R. Jeske an einer ca. 13 km langen Küstenstrecke um Noer-Lindhöft an der südlichen Eckernförder Bucht konnten zum größten Teil der Herstellung von Flintensteinen zugeordnet werden. Die lokalen eiszeitlichen Ablagerungen sind reich an Flint. Archivalisch ist hier bisher ein Flintensteinschläger für die erste Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts belegt. Die im Strandgeröll gesammelten, umgelagerten und mehr oder weniger gerollten Artefakte repräsentieren Reststücke der Herstellung von abschlagbasierten Flintensteinen („wedges“). Unbearbeitete Abschläge spielen im Fundmaterial eine geringe Rolle. Besonders die kleine- ren Stücke könnten entnommen worden sein, um sie an anderer, bisher noch unbekannter Stelle weiterzubearbeiten. Ein Teil der Funde, wahrscheinlich nicht mehr als 20 %, scheint urgeschichtlichen Ursprungs zu sein. Einige von ihnen konnten dem Spätmesolithikum bis Spätneolithikum zugeordnet werden. Gebrauchsfertig retuschierte Flintensteine oder Feuerschlagsteine konnten bisher nicht identifiziert werden. Die Abfälle, unter denen größere Abschläge mit Negativen auf der Ventralfläche und gurkenförmig gekrümmte Kerne am auffäl- ligsten und eindeutigsten sind, entsprechen den jüngst von J. Weiner aus Südfrankreich vorgelegten Stücken aus dem südfranzösischen Veaux-Malaucène. Allerdings scheint, vielleicht

  • Danish Minority Education in Schleswig-Holstein
    DANISH MINORITY EDUCATION IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN Sonja Wolf ECMI WORKING PAPER #87 October 2015 ECMI- Working Paper # 87 The European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) is a non-partisan institution founded in 1996 by the Governments of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the German State of Schleswig-Holstein. ECMI was established in Flensburg, at the heart of the Danish-German border region, in order to draw from the encouraging example of peaceful coexistence between minorities and majorities achieved here. ECMI’s aim is to promote interdisciplinary research on issues related to minorities and majorities in a European perspective and to contribute to the improvement of interethnic relations in those parts of Western and Eastern Europe where ethno-political tension and conflict prevail. ECMI Working Papers are written either by the staff of ECMI or by outside authors commissioned by the Centre. As ECMI does not propagate opinions of its own, the views expressed in any of its publications are the sole responsibility of the author concerned. ECMI Working Paper # 87 European Centre for Minority Issues (ECMI) Director: Prof. Dr. Tove H. Malloy © ECMI 2015 2 | P a g e ECMI- Working Paper # 87 DANISH MINORITY EDUCATION IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN This paper examines the educational system of the Danish minority in Germany. The minority is settled in Germany’s northernmost state, Schleswig -Holstein, and is known to enjoy one of the most advanced minority protection regimes in Europe. One pillar of this regime is the educational system, which is the subject of this paper. It gives a detailed account of how this system developed over time, and the legal framework that came into being in order to regulate the Danish minority’s rights, freedoms and obligations in terms of education.

    The Consequences of Radical Reform: The French Revolution ONLINE APPENDIX By Daron Acemoglu, Davide Cantoni, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson ∗ Online Appendix A: Definition of the Territories The 19 German territories in the dataset have been chosen following a series of general principles. First, given that our \reforms index" captures the evolu- tion of reforms in the 19th century, we followed post-1815 border definitions. Of all the territories emerging from the reorganization of the Napoleonic era, and concluded with the Congress of Vienna in 1815, we have then proceeded to ex- clude those too small to make a computation of urbanization rates meaningless (e.g., the Thuringian states, Waldeck, Lippe, Nassau. ), or where no evidence on the pre-1800 evolution of total population was available. Finally, we have di- vided Prussia into its constituent provinces, in order to capture different levels of French/Napoleonic influence, and in order to avoid a dataset of too unequally- sized polities. Within the province of Westphalia, we have singled out the Ruhr mining area (identified with the former county of Mark), to check if this heavily industrialized area is responsible for our main findings (see Table 4, column (1)). 1) Rhineland (Prussia).
