AUPO Geographica 40 Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis – Geographica, Vol. 40, No. 2, 2009, pp. 59-68 59 THE EUROPEAN METROPOLITAN REGION NUREMBERG IN GERMANY – HISTORY OF ORIGINS, TASKS AND ACTIVITIES Peter Jurczek Department of Geography, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Chemnitz University of Technology, D-09107 Chemnitz, Germany, [email protected] Abstract For about ten years now, European metropolitan regions have been regarded as new strategy of regional planning. These regions are geared to the principle “strengthening the strong regions” so that they then become driving forces for the rural areas. In the present contribution the history of origins of metropolitan regions as well as their assets and drawbacks will be presented and discussed. Furthermore, a detailed examination of the case study Nuremberg, which has been approved as European Metropolitan Region only in 2005, will follow.

  • 1 Infant Mortality Decline in Rural and Urban Bavaria
    Infant Mortality Decline in Rural and Urban Bavaria: Sanitary Improvement and Inequality in Bavaria and Munich, 1825-19101 Abstract A high infant mortality regime characterized much of the German Kingdom of Bavaria during the long nineteenth century. Conditions in Munich were reflective of this regime, with 40 deaths per 100 births not uncommon during the early 1860s. Infant mortality in all of Bavaria declined slowly in rural areas until World War I. In urban areas, the decline was much more impressive with the median falling by one-half up to 1913. The decline in Munich was even more dramatic. This paper examines the causes of infant mortality in both Bavaria as a whole and in Munich. The analysis of Bavaria examines district-level data for the period 1880 through 1910. The examination of Munich is for the period 1825-1910, which is a period of substantial economic and social change as well as sanitary reform. Patterns of land distribution, fertility and sanitary provision all play a role in accounting for the decline in infant mortality. The study uncovered growing discrepancies across social groups as decline set in Munich. John C. Brown Department of Economics Clark University Worcester, MA 01610 [email protected] Timothy W.

Weniger, Matthias. Tilman Riemenschneider: Die Werke im Bayerischen Nationalmuseum, Munich, 2017, Fig. 7.16. Description These three masterfully carved panels originally belonged to a predella supporting a monumental altarpiece. Depicting the twelve disciples, the panels are attributed to Tilman Riemenschneider’s workshop or his close circle. They are reputed to come from a church in Abenberg and were housed at the Bavarian National Museum until 1951. The figures of disciples on the long panel are divided into two groups of three. They include Matthias with an axe, Paul with two swords, Peter with the keys, John with a chalice, Thomas with an axe, and James, the son of Alphaeus, with a fuller’s club. The first short panel includes Simon with the saw, Jude with the club, and Andrew with the saltire. The second short panel includes Bartholomew with a knife, Philip with a cross, and St James with the scallop shell on his hat. The figures wear contemporary 16th century dress. The reliefs are set in against a flat background crowned by ornate tracery above. The back of the longer panel supporting the figures appears to have been cut down.

    H-German Spohnholz on Smith, 'Reformation and the German Territorial State: Upper Franconia, 1300-1630' Review published on Monday, February 7, 2011 William Bradford Smith. Reformation and the German Territorial State: Upper Franconia, 1300-1630. Changing Perspectives on Early Modern Europe. Rochester: University of Rochester Press, 2008. xii + 280 pp. $85.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-58046-274-7. Reviewed by Jesse Spohnholz (Washington State University) Published on H-German (February, 2011) Commissioned by Benita Blessing State-Building in the Eras of Reformatio, Reformation, and Confessionalization Historians of early modern Germany have devoted considerable attention to understanding the relationship between the Reformation and the process of territorial consolidation, and with good reason. An ambitious theoretical framework that gained prominence in the 1980s, confessionalization, posited a positive correlation between the rise of territorial states and the ability of princes to harness the loyalties of their subjects through an alliance with the emergent so-called confessional churches of the post-Reformation period (Catholicism, Lutheranism, and Calvinism). In subsequent decades, scholars have offered a series of detailed regional studies that could act as test studies of the confessionalization thesis. In one sense, William Bradford Smith's new book, Reformation and the German Territorial State fits within this genre. Smith's own study examines territorial consolidation in two neighboring states in Upper Franconia, the lands governed by the prince-bishop of Bamberg and the lands of the Franconian Hohenzollern margraviate in Brandenburg-Ansbach-Kulmbach. Until the Reformation, both had been part of the diocese of Bamberg, but by the early seventeenth century the first became strongly marked by the Counter- Reformation while the other became largely Lutheran.

  • Information on Studying in Nuremberg
    Master “International Business Studies” Information on studying at the FAU School of Business and Economics in Nuremberg Welcome! Dear Students, The decision to study abroad is a big step to take. It means a new language, a new culture, or- ganizing somewhere to live, and quite a few other everyday things. The teaching staff in the Masters program have all more or less experienced this, and know the sort of questions that students have, particularly at the outset of their Masters course. We have put together this bro- chure to help you and to make living and studying in Nuremberg easier for you. The School of Business and Economics (formerly WiSo) is one of the biggest and most distin- guished of its kind. Thirty-four chairs cater to over 5,000 students providing a wide range of ex- cellent degree programs of international academic renown. Testimony to this are not only former and current faculty members such as the former Chancellor Ludwig Erhard, the former Minister for Economic Affairs, Helmut Haussmann and the former Chairman of the Executive Board of Siemens, Heinrich von Pierer, but also our graduates who are in leading positions at Adidas, BMW, Leoni or Voith. Studying at the “elite school” WiSo is therefore the best prerequisite for a successful career in a global company according to a recent edition of the magazine Wirtschaftswoche. Nuremberg is not just a great choice of university. The city offers a great work-life balance. A historic place, Nuremberg, city of human rights, is home to people from many corners of the world.

  • Three Brose Plants Among the Top 10 German Companies
    Three Brose plants among the top 10 German companies On behalf of the Meerane plant employees, General Manager Jörg Graichen (right), Dirk Schmidsberge (left), coordinator of the Corporate Improvement Suggestion Scheme, and Plant Manager Rico Weigelt accepted the award at this year's annual dib "Idea Management" meeting held in Munich. The awards for the plants in Coburg and Sindelfingen were presented to Susanne Dittrich, responsible for the Corporate Improvement Suggestion Scheme of the Brose Group. Coburg (12. May 2010) Three Brose plants rank among Germany's top ten companies for idea management. This is the outcome of a study published by the German Institute of Business Administration (dib) for 2009: Brose Meerane is in second place, Sindelfingen in fourth and Coburg in sixth place. A total of 246 companies and institutions from 17 industries took part in the nationwide study, including 37 automotive suppliers. The study was presented to the public at this year's annual dib "Idea Management" meeting in Munich. In terms of company size, the results are even better for Brose: in the category "1001 to 5000 employees", the Coburg plant from Upper Franconia ranks first. In view of their size, the Meerane location, too, achieved an excellent second place, the Würzburg plant in Lower Franconia took third place and Brose Sindelfingen fourth place. "This pleasing outcome reflects the above-average commitment of our staff in actively participating in the development of our family-owned company by demonstrating their entrepreneurial attitude. It also indicates the effectiveness of our comprehensive qualification measures," says Stefan Krug, General Manager of the Coburg location.
