Press Release from Augsburg Throughout the Entire World

Press Release From Augsburg Throughout The Entire World – Puppet Theatres Along The Trade Routes Of The Fuggers Special Exhibition in the Augsburg Puppet Theatre Museum „die Kiste“ st rd from May 1 , 2019 to November 3 , 2019 Locations in many cities in Europe and elsewhere, a wide-spread network of employees and a quick transmission of important messages between the trading companies - these are the characteristics of a globally operating company today. However, the new exhibition at the Augsburg Puppet Theatre Museum „die Kiste“ doesn‘t deal with today's internationally active companies – instead, it focuses on the Fugger merchant Family, having dwelled in Augsburg more than 500 years ago. Above all, this special exhibition focuses on the trade with metals, spices, fabrics and other merchandise. The aim is also to take a close look at the often difficult routes, in which the goods were delivered to Augsburg or other cities. By exhibiting puppet theatres, which today are at home in the towns exactly where the Fuggers traded, some routes are traced back, which at the end illustrate the large sphere of influence of this family of Augsburg merchants. For this purpose, theatres from Schwäbisch Hall, Leipzig or Nuremberg will be lending us their figures, and puppets from Austria and Italy, will also represent the trade routes of the Fuggers during the special exhibition. Once again, the special exhibition will be accompanied by a colorful program. Jakob Fugger personally (respectively the actor Heinz Schulan) will perform the play „Fugger Consulting“. Children aged six years and older, are invited to join members of the „Geschlechtertanz Augsburg e. V.“ (a registered association) to learn some entertaining dances, for example to celebrate the successful conclusion of a trade contract. And those, who are just as interested in fabrics like the Fuggers, can attend the workshop of Mrs. Sabine Kinder, to learn all about different materials. Further information on the accompanying programs can be found within the flyer or online at http://www.diekiste.net/. th An advance preview for media representatives takes place on Tuesday, April 30 , 2019, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Opening Reception (Vernissage) for invited guests and media representatives begins at 7.30 pm. Prior registration by telephone or email is requested: (08 21) 45 03 45 - 30, e-mail: [email protected] Further information is available at www.diekiste.net/Presse „die Kiste“ – The Augsburg Puppet Theatre Museum Spitalgasse 15 in 86150 Augsburg Permanent Exhibition with Jim Knopf, Urmel & Co. and Special Exhibition „From Augsburg Throughout The Eintire World – Puppet Theatre Along The Trade Routes Of The Fuggers“ Open daily, except Mondays, from 10:00 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Ticket Office is open until 6 p.m.) For advance booking of guided tours and information please call: +49 (0)821 45 03 45 – 0 .

Ausbaustrecke 48 München–Lindau Schneller, Leiser, Besser
Ausbaustrecke 48 München–Lindau Schneller, leiser, besser Metropolen verbinden – Regionen vernetzen Europäische Dimension Geplante Infrastrukturmaßnahmen Bahnstromnetz Umwelt- und Lärmschutz Bahnhöfe Baufortschritt und Ausblick Die Basis der Zukunft. Metropolen verbinden – Regionen vernetzen Zwei Metropolen werden besser miteinander verbunden. Davon profitieren nicht nur Menschen, die von München nach Zürich fahren, sondern alle Städte und Gemeinden entlang der Strecke. Reisezeitverkürzungen, neue Verbindungen und nicht zuletzt ver besserter Schallschutz sind die Vorteile der ABS 48 zwischen München und Lindau. Schneller Die Elektrifizierung und Ertüchtigung der Strecke von München über Memmin- gen nach Lindau schafft für das Allgäu und für die Verbindung der beiden europä- ischen Metropolen München und Zürich ein zeitgemäßes Verkehrsangebot. Künf- tig beträgt die Fahrzeit weniger als 3 Stunden 30 Minuten – statt heute 4 Stunden 45 Minuten. Wesentliche Reisezeitgewinne wird es auch im Regionalverkehr ge- ben: Die Fahrt zwischen Memmingen und München dauert künftig nur noch rund Ab Dezember 2020 wird im Fernverkehr zwi- 1 Stunde, zwischen Kißlegg und München 1 Stunde 37 Minuten. Auf der histo- schen München und Zürich der schweizerische risch bedingt kurvenreichen Strecke verkehren ab Ende 2020 neue Eurocity- Hochgeschwindigkeitszug Astoro zum Einsatz Züge, die in Kurven wesentlich schneller fahren können und mit bis zu 160 Kilo- kommen. meter pro Stunde unterwegs sein werden. Leiser Wenn die bisher eingesetzten Dieselzüge nicht mehr gebraucht werden, wird es merklich leiser an der Strecke. Denn die neuen elektrischen Züge verursachen weit weniger Lärm. In den Ortsdurchfahrten zwischen Geltendorf und Lindau werden aber zusätzlich Lärmschutzwände für eine deutliche Reduzierung der Zuggeräusche sorgen. Dafür wenden wir 100 Millionen Euro auf. Die Wände sum- mieren sich auf eine Gesamtlänge von rund 26 Kilometern.

On the Regulatory Function and Historical Significance of the Peace of Augsburg (1555) in Religious Conflicts
Cultural and Religious Studies, October 2019, Vol. 7, No. 10, 571-585 doi: 10.17265/2328-2177/2019.10.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING On the Regulatory Function and Historical Significance of the Peace of Augsburg (1555) in Religious Conflicts WANG Yinhong China University of Political Science and Law, Beijing, China In 1555, the Imperial Diet in Augsburg passed a resolution to extend the application of decrees concerning peace and order of the Holy Roman Empire to religious issues, trying to achieve religious peace and order of the Empire. The Peace of Augsburg (1555) explicitly recognizes the legal existence of Lutheranism and stipulates the “religious freedom” of Imperial Estates, “cuius regio, eius religio” principle, and its exceptions. However, due to the lack of effective mechanism and measures to guarantee the compliance with the Peace of Augsburg (1555), its regulatory function can only be realized through “commitment”. The Peace of Augsburg (1555) is mainly formulated to pursue the peace and order of the Empire and also reflects the fundamental principle of compromise. However, the concepts such as “religious tolerance” and “right protection” contained therein are not original intention of the Peace of Augsburg (1555) or the subjective wishes of all parties thereto. Keywords: Holy Roman Empire, Imperial Diet in Augsburg, the Peace of Augsburg (1555), “cuius regio, eius religio” principle On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther published his Disputatio Pro Declaratione Virtutis Indulgentiarum (Disputation on the Power of Indulgences in English, also known as the Ninety-Five Theses) at the Schlosskirche in Wittenberg, which was spread to the most German areas of Holy Roman Empire in a short time-frame and became the prelude to the Reformation in German areas.

Infanticide in Early Modem Gennany: the Experience of Augsburg, Memmingen, Ulm, and Niirdlingen, 1500-1800
Infanticide in Early Modem Gennany: the experience of Augsburg, Memmingen, Ulm, and Niirdlingen, 1500-1800 Margaret Brannan Lewis Charlottesville, Virginia M.A., History, University of Virginia, 2008 B.A., History and Gennan, Furman University, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May, 2012 i Abstract Between 1500 and 1800, over 100 women and men were arrested for infanticide or abortion in the city of Augsburg in southern Germany. At least 100 more were arrested for the same crime in the three smaller cities of Ulm, Memmingen, and Nördlingen. Faced with harsh punishments as well as social stigma if found pregnant out of wedlock, many women in early modern Europe often saw abortion or infanticide as their only option. At the same time, town councils in these southern German cities increasingly considered it their responsibility to stop this threat to the godly community and to prosecute cases of infanticide or abortion and to punish (with death) those responsible. The story of young, unmarried serving maids committing infanticide to hide their shame is well-known, but does not fully encompass the entirety of how infanticide was perceived in the early modern world. This work argues that these cases must be understood in a larger cultural context in which violence toward children was a prevalent anxiety, apparent in popular printed literature and educated legal, medical, and religious discourse alike. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this anxiety was expressed in and reinforced by woodcuts featuring mass murders of families, deformed babies, and cannibalism of infants by witches and other dark creatures.

Bischof Heinrich III. Von Schönegg Und Schwäbisch Gmünd
216 Bischof Heinrich III. von Schönegg und Schwäbisch Gmünd Von Klaus Graf „Eine dem Wesen nach bischöfliche, überhaupt geistliche Natur ist Heinrich von Schönegg nicht gewesen", urteilt Friedrich Zoepfl in seinem grundlegenden Handbuch der Augsburger Bischöfe über Bischof Heinrich (III.) von Augsburg (1337-1348) aus dem Geschlecht der Herren von Schönegg1. Nach Ausweis der Quellen war Heinrich einer jener Bischöfe, die ihr Amt nahezu ausschließlich als Basis und Rückhalt ihres reichspolitischen Agierens verstanden. Als eiserner Parteigänger Ludwigs des Bayern manövrierte sich Heinrich immer mehr ins Abseits: Er hielt es auch alle zeit gethrewlich mit dem kayser, welches er hernach entgelten must formuliert eine Augsburger Bischofschronik des 17. Jahrhunderts2. Als sein Kaiser starb, mußte Heinrich dem von der Kurie in Avignon eingesetzten und von dem neuen König Karl IV. unterstützten Marquart von Randegg weichen und auf sein Amt verzichten3. Was man über den abgesetzten Dignitär nach der Resignation weiß, hat Zoepfl so zusammen- gefaßt: „Er verbrachte seine letzten Lebensjahre in aller Stille, anscheinend in Schwäbisch Gmünd, wo er Verwandte hatte (ein Ulrich von Schönegg war 1381-1383 Schultheiß von Schwäbisch Gmünd) und angeblich früher Inhaber der Pfarrpfründe gewesen war. In Schwäbisch Gmünd starb er am 21. Dezem- ber 1368 und wurde in der Hl. Kreuzkirche nahe bei der Kanzel beigesetzt"4. Die Überprüfung dieser Angaben anhand neuer oder unbeachtet gebliebener Quellen ergab indes, daß die Forschung nicht auf dem Stand der Ausführungen Zoepfls stehenzubleiben braucht. Fragen wir zunächst: besaß Bischof Heinrich Verwandte in Schwäbisch Gmünd? Möglicherweise, aber nicht solche, an die Zoepfl denkt. Der 1381 und 1383 in Gmünder Urkunden belegte Schultheiß Ulrich von Schönegg ist nämlich durchaus eine Ausnahme; als vom Kaiser eingesetzter auswärtiger Adliger erhielt er von der Stadt ein Haus am Kirchhof offenbar als „Dienstwoh- 1 Friedrich Zoepfl, Das Bistum Augsburg und seine Bischöfe im Mittelalter.

Augsburg-Druck- Ebook
JEWISH CEMETERY AUGSBURG GRAVELIST based on original vital records 1867 – 1940s researched and displayed by Rolf Hofmann + Herbert Immenkötter printed in 2018 1 CONTENT 3 Introduction 4 Necrology based on original Vital Records 110 Family Name Index 126 Maiden Name Index 131 Birth Place Index 140 Chronological Order of Grave Sites 141 Schematic Cemetery Map 146 Stonemason Max Koppel & Sons 147 Memorial of World War I Victims 149 Photo Gallery of Remarkable Graves 156 Biographical note on Rolf Hofmann 158 Biography of Herbert Immenkötter 159 Main Sources of Cemetery Research 160 Imprint 2 INTRODUCTION This necrology was originally compiled by the historic Jewish Community of Augsburg from 1867 (foundation of Augsburg Jewish cemetery at Haunstetter Strasse) until 1940 (end of Jewish Community) and also corresponds to the grave sites, as numbers of this necrology are the same as on gravestone backs, still legible today. Additional information comes from vital records of Community Registry Office. This grave list is published on the Alemannia Judaica website. Family history details were compiled in 2009 - 2011 by Rolf Hofmann together with Herbert Immenkötter. Of great help was Gernot Römer’s remarkable book “An meine Gemeinde in der Zerstreuung” (circular letters by Augsburg Rabbi Ernst Jacob 1941-1949) with family history details which otherwise we would not have been able to gather. This list is inevitably incomplete, it contains errors and does not cover all death cases of Augsburg Jewish families between the opening of the Augsburg Jewish cemetery (1867) and the liquidation of the Jewish community (ca 1940) because of limited available resources. However, there is a wealth of information on many Jewish families who then had lived in Augsburg - valuable for descendants, historians as well as genealogists.
